The nurse was only doing what she was told. she was not an individual but an agent of the hospital. Arresting her would not get the LEO the blood. The order has to come from someone above her. Nurses are not allowed to draw blood with out a doctors order. When given the standards that the police gave then one when blood can be draw. Exigent circumstance was on the legal document. When the watch commander was told this. He should of order a warrant to be . . . oh wait they don't have probable cause. SO they have no rights for the blood.

[@theleonson100]

I disagree with you about the hospital because I has seen a similar situation and the hospital protected the nurse. The hospital lawyers, higher ups, and security was on scene to protect the nurse but this hospital higher up was talking through the phone. That this why they, the hospital, and the police department with her

I am of the mind that these kinds of cases should be treated like child support is treated in the US. Base it on what we know the person is capable of making.

If you can make 50K, but voluntarily choose to take a lower-paying job, you should have to pay the same amount, regardless. A refusal to pay will result in a seizure of assets, and potential jail time. In addition, the debt owed to the individual should be treated like a student loan in that it does not go away by declaring bankruptcy. The taxpayers should DEFINITELY not be the ones who have to pay for the poor decisions made by officers.

Oh my God! I'm a nurse, it is our job to advocate for our patients.. if the hospital says no we can't go against that. This is absolutely horrible. I'm so proud of her for standing her ground. She is a great nurse!!!

[@TiptonMama]

I am too! My degree is in Health Information Technology. She was spot on, and the kind of nurse I'd want on my side!

[@jasonshults368]

I would prefer that you had a conscience, and then followed it, rather than feeling forced to submit to some authority. That's exactly the mentality of the cop: submit to authority!

[@robredz]

I'm surprised they didn't also arrest other staff like the boss telling her not o let them draw blood.

[@charliepiland3285]

Ms. Ash, for sure! And it is 100% likely that the specific blood draw policy was written with consultation from the local jurisdictions (SO, PD, DA).

Once admitted, the hospital assums responsibility for the patient. Had this nurse allowed the blood draw, the hospital could potentially be found to be complicit in violating the patient's rights.

[@donkhorse]

Imagine how many rights were violated by that “cop” over the last 22 years.

I can't imagine how many people that he'd have assaulted and falsely arrested - all because they never had body cameras! If he's prepared to lie in order force the nurse to comply,; knowing that he was on camera - how far would he be prepared to go with no records of what was happening. 🤬

@@cosmicnightmare4401there’s a town cop like this where I live. Tried to date my mom all throughout high school, she always rejected him. He would follow my mom around town, in his cruiser, pulling her over when ever he could. I couple years back he pulled her over and tried to come up with something to get her in trouble with so my mom brought all this up to the police chief and now he’s not allowed anywhere near my mom, if she ever were to commit any crime/ infraction and he’s the responding officer, he has to call another cop in because he was absolutely obsessed with her. 🙃 he’s also a huge racist and I’m mixed so… that’s probably a part of it too

Is kinda funny when the Lt. said that he has been doing it for 22 years. Can you imagine someone has been doing his job wrong for 22 years and still working? Makes you wonder how many times has he been wrong for 22 years? How many times did that kind of unlawful bullying worked over 22 years? Literally bring shame and bad names to those who were doing their job right and risking their lives for the rest of us.

Best part of the video: 6:34 where the other officer there asks the Detective (quietly), "Why don't we just get a search warrant" and the Detective says "Because we don't have PC" - in other words, he knows he has no probable cause to get a warrant to get the blood - that admission right there shows the officer knew he couldn't get it lawfully so he is trying to use threats to get it instead.

Fun fact: the U Hospital doesn't let officers beyond the lobby of it's hospitals anymore. They held deliberate training on how to handle this in the future: you call the U of U police and ask them to escort the "officer" off of the premises. It still happened a few times after this event took place but eventually SLC PD got the picture. Another fun fact: SLC PD hopped a fence into someone's private backyard and shot and killed their 6 month old doberman puppy because "they felt they were in danger." The dog was 30lbs.

[@ConspirHerSee]

Police are dumb AF. 3 out 5 homes in America have a dog. People who deliver mail, amazon, carriers, pizza, Uber etc who encounter dogs all the time and are not allowed to carry weapons. If you are to scary to deal with a random dog, then you shouldn't be allowed to be a police officer.
