This was that nurse who was arrested by the dumbass cop for not breaking the law.

Fair settlement? I think its about right. Kinda surprised they came to an agreement so soon though.

quote:

The Utah nurse who was arrested over the summer for not allowing an officer to draw a blood sample from a patient has reached a $500,000 settlement, according to The Associated Press.

An attorney for Alex Wubbels said that the nurse plans to use a portion of the settlement to put toward a new initiative to help others pay for video clips from police body cameras, a Fox affiliate in Salt Lake City reported.

Eh, I find her getting paid that amount of money a little unnecessary, but that cop should be relegated to a ditch digging crew or some shite. If they would have given her 25k for dealing with the a-hole I would be fine with it.

I feel like the individual that slid through there without the DWI should kick a few bucks her way, also.

Her freedom was taken illegally.

Just wish the police could be sued personally for this

In reality, its punitive damages, even though it isn't stated as much.

I'm fine with the amount.

The patient died. He wasn’t drunk. He actually was hit during a police chase by the criminal. The police wanted his blood to alleviate their responsibility by hopefully finding drugs or etoh. She did the right thing.

Attorneys are over priced for this type of law. No debating that.

Her attorney was likely supplied through NNU free of charge....hence why she is donating a substantial amount back to NNU.
