And I thought the nurse stated he had been given something to keep him “comfortable” which I took to be pain meds.

We are in trouble if you are any example of the thought processes of our conservative community.

Now now.

I've just gotten him a little upset.

He'll be fine in the morning.

Public opinion, minus the jackboot lickers, going against the Officer did not hurt, either.

As written, Utah’s law only permits an officer to conduct such a test where he has reasonable grounds to believe that a person from whom blood is to be taken was driving “while in violation of” the laws regarding driving under the influence of alcohol or other substances. In this case, the detective specifically lacked any such grounds, because the draw was being taken to show the opposite – that the driver was not under the influence. Utah’s implied consent law did not authorize this particular blood draw under these particular circumstances.

Someone was right on the money, they were trying to cover their backsides for a dumbass chase.


Exactly. The cops engaged in a chase that killed the perp and critically injured an innocent bystander. They were trying to find an out that would minimize their culpability.
What do they do? Try to get a vile of blood from an innocent victim that is unconscious. Sick.
Oh yeah I almost forgot. They arrest a nurse that protects her patients. Absolutely brilliant.

The detective was defective no doubt... Some anger/control issues there or he had some other reasons for pushing the issue. I’ve seen some pissed off cops before, but never one threatening a nurse for doing her job. She even had printed out the policy for the detective. Talk about blind rage and monomania. I would have told the other cops to get the detective out of there as he was interfering in the patients care and safety. You don’t engage in conversation with a mad man, you redirect him from the area for patient safety.

Trying to pretend there is no social hierarchy is useless.

But it’s not like law enforcement hasn’t been undercutting their own position like busy little beavers chewing off the branch they are perched on.

Payne stuck his neck out in a misdirected attempt to protect the thin blue line and promptly got it chopped off.

This should be a lesson for other cops about the dangers of overstepping their authority against higher caste members of the helping professions and to remember that there are always cameras everywhere in our new and improved surveillance society.

A nurse is a higher caste member than a cop?

If you say so.

“You still think that a nurse’s Constitutional rights are violated by taking someone else’s blood. Or, even more moronic, that a 3rd party (the nurse) can assert someone else’s Constitutional rights.”

I didn’t say she was asserting someone else’s Constitutional Rights, she was simply following the federal law as regards taking a patient’s blood.
Look there is no benefit to continuing to “converse,” as we have very different views. So like the cop said in the video, “I’m done!”

mmm... would you be more likely to take the legal advice of a cop or the medical advice of a nurse?

In the zombie apocalypse would you rather have a male cop or a male nurse in your group? A female cop or a female nurse? A cop of any gender vs a nurse of any gender?

Which profession has the higher IQ, higher level of education and higher level of average income?

Nurses also rank near the top of the most respected professions. Certainly ahead of cops.

Believe the truck driver was unconscious. In this situation then the police had to obtain a warrant to draw his blood. The offices just tried to bully the nurse. She was legally right. YOU FIRED!
