I still think the officer should have been charged with unlawful imprisonment and get to spend a year in jail him self. His boss should also have been fired not demoted as he was demanding a violation of the third party's 4th amendment right unlawful search and seizure. To bad the Tax payers are going to foot the bill would be nice to force this that caused this issue to pay up.

Too bad the culprits are not paying for it, It might just make the taxpayers look harder at whom they employ.

The officer involved has done more single handily to tarnish the reputation of good officers that try to do the right thing. As a retired police officer I cannot condone his actions. As a police chief I would have refresher courses for officers dealing with medical personnel in my jurisdiction and what they can and cannot do.

Your assertion is astronomically overplayed. Eight or nine coppers in this country, given a million strong, probably have no idea this ever took place. The fifteen to twenty members of the public each will contact in a single shift, are probably labouring with the same lack of knowledge about this ignorant event. IMHO...got into a couple of these myself in the 1970s at our city's general hospital.

As someone who worked LE for many years of my life, I immediately thought that that police officer needed to be put at a desk, reprimanded, retrained and if the trainer thought that he was untrainable, FIRED! If any officer working for more would have done that he would have been placed in that cycle. The only exception would be for a newbie, under two years. That officer would have been back in a two-man patrol as the junior patrolman.
No person with whatever level of authority they think they have should ever treat another person that amount of disrespect. I am one LEO who is happy about this outcome and I hope that every agency across our country looks at this and ensures that it finds its way into their guard mounts, rollcalls and training events.
