Getting a warrant was almost impossible. The man was a victim, an innocent bystander hurt in a police chase of a criminal.

He did nothing wrong to pursue a warrant for.


Correct...if the police wanted to legally collect a blood sample, they could have requested permission from his family to collect it.

Good for her. She deserves it.
Now I hope that POS cop gets some prison time.

The arresting officer was fired.

The supervisor was demoted.

It wasn't the cop that arrested her fault as much as it was his LT. He was the one that demanded he make the arrest if she didn't draw blood.

If your boss demands that you do something illegal and you do it, you should still be to blame.

I support police wholeheartedly. But it’s very frustrating to see them rally around the dumbest of their ranks for stuff like this. It makes it that much more difficult to garner support for legitimate stuff like the Sterling shooting when cops have to make tough decisions that were warranted. This is a guy is just a dumbass that broke the law behind the badge.


You speak for a lot of people here. Good post.

Might be able to hit the tPOS cop under HIPAA as well.

How does this have anything to do with HIPAA?

This doesn't make any sense.

Everyone on the hospital side supports her all the way.

I doubt that. She did exactly as her bosses directed her to, not to mention what the law told her to do as well.

500k is NOTHING in todays worlds and as someone said, the lawyer gets close to 200k then she has to pay taxes on the whole 500k so she might be left with around 200k herself when its all said and done.

it would have been more reasonable to give her $1 million and then she might have actually had 500k left after all was said and done

Da phuck?

She is exactly who a hospital wants to employ. The cop on the other hand...

I tend to be neutral about cops but would revert to my pro cop stance of my childhood IF they would roast the bad cops instead of near uniformly drawing the blue line around them. If cops were known for strict discipline within their ranks there would not be so much national negative attention which would actually help them be much more effective at their task.

$200k cash is nothing? Maybe on the OT but in the real world it is far from nothing. I will gladly spend 15 minutes in cuffs for $200k. Sign me up. What is that per minute?

This is like correct if it were exactly the opposite of what you meant.


She can put this shite on her resume if she wanted, and it would allow her to be a nurse in probably any ED she wanted, no questions asked.

Ill get hate for this, but I hate how our system works where the girl gets $500,000 of taxpayers money for one dumbass cops mistake. Im not saying she shouldn't get something, but $500,000 is outrageous.


She's donating most of it.

She got paid pretty quick. Seems like his pay was warranted.
