Someone lives in Utah ... as a point of clear fact, approx. 3.1 million someones live there ...

Well, maybe the cop just wanted to test him for the hep... 😟

Well, HERE's an interesting alternate theory . . . 🤦



What say ye, frankj1 ?
Are the Jews REALLY the "spawn of Satan' ? [sarcasm]

Anthony, how would this have been an exigent circumstance?

The human body metabolizes alcohol at a fairly constant pace. Had the officer waited evidence of impaired driving could have been lost. The SCOTUS ruling that has been referenced that supposedly made it illegal to draw blood absent of a warrant or consent actally set forth circumstances where it still permissible to collect blood without a warrant or consent.

Maybe not. See post #20

See post 46

I'm guessing interpolation isn't good evidence..?? 😕

LOL - that was hilarious.

My wife is a nurse. The cop was wrong.

As she said "After his unfair & illegal treatment of a nurse, let the officer come in now with a gun shot wound and see what kind of treatment he gets." He'll sit in the ER for 3 hours before anyone offers him an aspirin.

Dated a nurse years ago.. she used to say somethin similar.. used to brag about getting off with warnings instead of getting tickets or busted... 😟

The unconscious victim was a reserve police officer and the Det. was trying to obtain a blood sample to protect him. The other driver in the accident was a fleeing felon, who died in the crash. No apparent exigent circumstances...no on-going risk to life...only an ego contest...

The article quotes the Det. later, after the arrest, saying about his off-duty job driving an ambulance that he'll only bring transients to the hospital, not good patients. Insight into his character...this is an example of a cop in the wrong, getting backing from above, trying to throw his authority around, and when confronted by someone in the right, compounding his mistake by making another one and arresting the nurse. Sometimes bad cops make Detective, otherwise known as d*cks...

This prolly would not have happened if the unconscious victim was just another truck driver, but this one was a reserve police officer...

...it's situations and behaviors like this that can lead to SCOTUS decisions that draw lines around how police may and may not act in service to the community...but it is doubtful that his department would argue in his defense all the way to the SCOTUS.

Here's what I see........an unconscious patient in the care of the hospital.

A nurse protecting an unconscious patient in her hospitals care.

An over zealous cop with no regard for set policy on someone elses turf,who btw thinks he is above the law.No regard whatsoever for individual or collective rights.

A cop who should lose his job based on what I saw.

A nurse who will probably never have to work again should she choose that route.

just saw it...hysterical for sure

too late, removed for violating youtube's policies against bullying and harassment

but, Hell Yeah!

It's helped me a couple times.

I once got a ticket though when I was responding to emergency page from the hospital when there was a snow related travel ban. Cop said emergency vehicles only. Showed him my badge and the page. He said no lights on your roof, not an emergency vehicle. I took ticket and proceeded down the road to the hospital. Judge threw it out.

You shoulda showed him your boobs... 😟

Next time

Pretty chiken chit ticket. I've stopped numerous health care professionals. Never gave any of them a ticket.

I saw post 20.

The cop was wrong period.
