Lol. How so?

Again, I am not defending the cop. He is a fricktard who probably lost whatever evidence that blood could have given by his actions. His evidence is tainted and the way it was collected is on YouTube as a shite show for all to see.

The admins instructing that nurse should have stepped up. There should have been a house supervisor there and hospital legal if it was daytime. Night is only gonna be a house supervisor. When it escalated to that point they should have just given that nurse the blessing to draw the blood. The legality of its collection is for courts to hash out. And if I were the nurse I would be a poor witness for the prosecution after that treatment. The cop absolutely made an ally an enemy.

Any hospital that would put my feet to the fire and fire me for collecting an extra tube of blood on a guy who already has multiple IVs and multiple samples drawn, with a cop in my face? frick that hospital.

I am in Texas though. An accident with a fatality or possible serious bodily injury (pretty loose term) they do not need to consent.

I watched a DPS officer "compel" a sample from a DUI suspect with hammer fists and a choke hold. Lol. We were all thinking "this is fricked up" but I'm not gonna tell a pissed off cop how to do his job. It probably won't end well. You can be right in handcuffs or you can be slightly suspect and go about your shift. Easy choice for me. Especially when we are talking about a possible/probable drunk.

And risk a lawsuit from the patient? The patient that was a victim in a car crash?

Are you out of your mind?

Or the cop could just follow the law that he should know and that he's paid to enforce?

Or the hospital has an obligation to protect the patient's privacy and well being more than they're protecting you and your delicate feelings about your workplace.

No offense but you sound like a shitty nurse.

For someone who claims to not be defending the shitty cops here, you sure are one hell of an apologist and bootlicker for them.

But we're not discussing that. We're discussing the victim.

No. This would have gotten the entire hospital system sued. They would lose, BIG.

For the most part, this has already been hashed out in the courts. Hence my comment about, was a CDL involved. If so the cop would most likely be operating under the color of law. If not, he is fricked.

I disagree. She is going to be a star witness for the § 1983 civil rights case that will get her handsomely paid.

Statements like this make me think I have a future in consulting both LE agencies and other professional institutions on 4th Amendment and Evidentiary issues.
