I dont understand the detective in this case. If there was some sort of criminal proceeding would they just subpoena the hospital records?

Lawyers chime in here, makinskrilla, you may be a lawyer? I thought chain of custody would be an issue with a hospital obtained specimen? Also the equipment a hospital lab uses Vs. a crime lab or pathologist? Whomever.

He didn't care about criminal proceedings. They could use it to blackmail the truck driver to prevent a lawsuit. Legally obtained or not the blood sample could have threatened his job as a truck driver and a reserve police officer.

They had no reason to believe the guy in the hospital did anything wrong. He was driving his truck in the right lanes when the criminal involved in a police chase crossed over lanes and hit him head on.

They were worried about one thing: getting sued for continuing a dangerous high speed chase.
