The nurse refused to let police take a blood sample without a warrant. So she was arrested.

Detective Jeff Payne was sent to the hospital to collect vials of a patient's blood for a case. But when Payne asked, Nurse Alex Wubbels refused.

Hospital protocol says he had no right because:

- the patient was not a suspect in the case
- the patient wasn't facing criminal charges
- the patient wasn't able to give consent
- the officer didn't have a warrant

"A blood draw, it just gets thrown around there like it's some simple thing. But blood is your blood. That's your property. And when a patient comes in in a critical state, that blood is extremely important and I don't take it lightly."

The detective is still on active duty.

Fucking horse shit

This is the direct result of the mentality that the government must provide.

Funny how the cops caused the accident chasing a fugitive and want the innocent drivers blood.

Seems fisshy

I liked this comment about it:

No charges filed.

You know what this means? She was arrested for the usual charge, "Contempt of Cop." This is where you subvert a Cop's all-encompassing authority by refusing his request.

You can see when he decides she's guilty of this. It occurs right when her supervisor (on speakerphone) tells him, "You're making a mistake. This is a mistake."

Suddenly, his all-encompassing authority is being subverted. He is being told that he is wrong. And even worse, he's being told that by a normal citizen. How dare they tell him he can't do what he wants.

That's when he decides she's going to jail. On what charge? "Interfering with an investigation," a charge that doesn't exist, but one that he uses as an excuse to arrest her.

As cops will always say, "You can avoid the rap, but you can't avoid the ride."

Until we start holding them accountable, and not only firing them, but criminally charging them for abusing their authority, this will never change.

All of this.

But, surely, this is a hoax - her white privilege clearly means she wouldn't be wrongly arrested.
