What would you do if you were this nurse?
>Cop asks you to draw blood from unconscious patient
>You don't want to violate HIPAA and lose your job so you refuse
>Dragged to jail
What's legal here? Or can HIPAA save you if you did it just so you didn't get arrested? Right now she keeps her job, would she have kept it if she obeyed?
I would strip search the nurse she might have weapons or be a suicide risk.

What would you take off first? Important question.

If she'd complied with the officer she would have been opening herself to termination from her job, a lawsuit from the unconscious man for violating his rights as a patient, and potential criminal liability.
By not complying she gets to keep her job and potentially sue the city and the arresting officer, and all it cost her was a night in a jail cell.

her shoes and socks, then id sniff them to see if they smell like drugs or whatever

Pretty odd you can obstruct an investigation, by NOT doing something.

Based on the information available it seems that the nurse was correct in this situation, and no the cops. In all likelihood, if she complied with the request of the cops that went against company policy and possibly law, she would have lost her job and would have had a difficult time being employed elsewhere.

>>139866130
Yep, I agree with this.
She'd be in a whole ton more shit for violating HIPAA
>>139865132
Honestly cop was in the wrong, but her screaming like a 4 year old was over the top
I guarantee this will end with a lawsuit against the police department
>>139866130
^^^What this guy said.
American cops are showing them selves to be grossly incompetent.

>lose your job so you refuse
>neet retards
Pretty sure complying with police order would not cost you a job even if their request was unlawful. All you need to do is to make a official complaint afterwards.
Don't understand why white niggers and white trash doesn't understand that you don't argue with police. You comply and get them fired afterward.
>>139866130
If it's illegal than what compells a cop to order blood tests from an unconscious guy? Is he rogue?

>Don't understand why white niggers and white trash doesn't understand that you don't argue with police. You comply and get them fired afterward.
Police officers normally keep their jobs here.

>like a 4 year old
I don't understand why you would even bring age into it. Should there even be such a thing for people as a right way to accept going to a jail cell? John Wayne wouldn't stand for this shit
>>139866854
>be nurse
>get forced to lose your job
>get forced to be arrested and lose your job
Don't blame her for screaming for help. Cops were trying to break the law one way or another and she was the victim. Who the fuck do you think is supposed to help in that situation? The police? lol
>>139866262
no.
The tax payers are fucked.
the city and pd are fine.
and it will happen again, and again.

HIPAA is a very serious thing mang. She was completely in the right
