There is an argument floating around here that DOT regulations allow the taking of a commercial truck-driver’s blood without his consent, and without a warrant. I find that very hard to believe. I can believe that a trucker can be penalized if he refuses consent. Maybe lose his license. But I can’t believe that - without a warrant, and without consent - a cop can just waltz in and take blood.

Actually, he just gets blacklisted. A drug test refusal means that most companies will not hire him. And if he tries to start his own company he may find it hard to get insured. He doesn't lose his license though, and the cops cannot take a sample from him by force.

There is no argument whatsoever. He won’t be blacklisted.

He was unconscious!

He couldn’t give his consent to anything!

Plus, the nurse refused to take his blood. He was not in a position to insist nor go to someone else who would do it.

Case closed.

Not even DOT would have a case, let alone make one.

Why would anyone try and come up with an argument when their own lying eyes showed what happened?

An officer of the law misusing his authority to assault an innocent nurse fulfilling her duties as the hospital proscribed (she had a supervisor on her cell phone telling her not to do it). It’s all in the video.
