It seems that the hospital has made policy changes to protect their employees from law enforcement. Think about the implications of that for a moment. What about all the citizens outside of that organization? Do they need protection from law enforcement?

This is the true insidious nature of law enforcement loosing the trust of the public. There are many great officers but we need to hold them to high standards and they need to hold each other to high standards so that trust isn't lost.

A rather unique case in which an officer was clearly mistaken about the constitutional nuances of getting biological samples. If the patient had been alert and able to respond then the Nurse could has been stuffed and cuffed for obstruction.
Id be interested in finding out how many times before that Officer Payne had been allowed by a hospital staff to draw blood from an unconscious patient.
Most states require that persons receiving certain state licenses be required to give a biological sample on demand from law enforcement as a prerequisite for accepting the license. However it is also a persons right to refuse the test and forfeit the license. You can not take away the right to refuse a test and have the police obtain a warrant for that sample.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - The 4th amendment as well. Like I stated above I wonder how many times he was able to draw blood from unconscious patients without a warrant before. If he did, anyone that was convicted because of those tests should have any convictions overturned.

1stSgt Eugene Harless - You can bet that there are a lot of appellate lawyers researching that right now.
