13511 Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Utah police arrest nurse who refused to draw blood from unconscious patient Nurse says cop assaulted, arrested her for refusing blood draw from unconscious patient If that state does not have an implied consent law in place (which Texas for a long time did not) the nurse was correct, the individual either has to be under arrest or a warrant issued for the drawing of blood from an unconscious patient. He needs to be terminated, formal charges for false imprisonment filed and a civl action taken against him. It's idiots like this that give law enforcement a bad rap. Quote
SneakyDave Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 What was the nurse arrested for? Why was The Heat so interested Ina blood draw? Something's weird They can't arrest an unconscious person. How can they expect somebody to give consent to a blood draw.

Something's weird They can't arrest an unconscious person. How can they expect somebody to give consent to a blood draw. In Texas, now when you sign for your drivers license (or are issued one actually) you have given implied consent which allows the drawing of blood. No "permission" has to be asked since it's already implied with the issuance of said license that you have agreed to. This occurred in Utah and apparently the "patient" was involved in an accident as a result of a pursuit (not clear if it was the actual violator or another driver as the one report I read indicated it was another driver involved).... If it was the actual person being pursued then there should have been no issues involved as they could have placed him under arrest and then met the hospital policy on the blood draw. As far as arresting an unconscious person - yes, you can. I've done it several times. As long as you have PC you can place them under arrest - they don't have to be conscious to acknowledge that fact. Quote

SneakyDave Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Reading an update on this. The guy that The Heat wanted to get blood from was a victim in the crash. The suspect died. I think the po po must have been cray cray to think that the victim's blood results were somehow a necessity in the early investigation.

13511 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Posted September 14, 2017 And it looks like their internal investigation agrees... this "officer" and the LT involved violated many rules of the department. Like I said, they need to be terminated, and criminal charges brought where appropriate. Investigators blast Salt Lake City police officers for violent arrest of nurse Internal affairs investigation finds police officers who arrested nurse violated a number of department policies Quote
