How about when they restrain a woman/man from running back into their own burning home to rescue a child/pet/whatever?

I guess that's violating constitutional rights too...

Yes, it is.

Ya know...I don't believe that under duress people are quite able to sit and analyze whether their efforts to save a life are or are not constitutional. Amazing you would criticize their attempt at saving a person's life in that way. Apparently suicide should also not be against the law and no one should step in, should someone decide to off themselves. Heck why don't we go all the way and support doctor assisted suicide. It makes sense.

If you believe it to be unconstitutional to restrain someone from plunging headlong into a burning building, you had better start working on a form of "miranda law" for fire departments.
