A nurse following the law was handcuffed for legally preventing the police from drawing blood from an unconscious man without a warrant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yia7qs01z1M

The nurse was never charged but it appears that the police officer didn’t get it that he was in violation of the law. He never apologized and sued the city for $1,500,000.00 because he was fired. https://www.sltrib.com/news/2018/11/06/former-detective-jeff/

The nurse received a $500,000.00 settlement, but it wasn’t from the police officer. It was from the taxpayers of Salt Lake City.
