The settlement was wise, but the amount should have been in the millions.

I’d be pi$$ed off too if they did this to me.

I could be wrong, but I thought that you have a right to refuse a blood test, but it is just about the same as a guilty plea. I didn’t think you could be forced.

Well, actually, when you're on probation you give up most of your constitutional rights. You agree to random searches without a warrant or probable cause, monitoring of your whereabouts, drug testing, regular visits to a probation officer, etc. Because, after all, you're
supposed to be in prison.
I suppose his probation should just have been revoked rather than the cops forcibly taking a sample, but when he signed all those papers to get out of prison he agreed to random drug and alcohol testing.
$15,000 is a generous settlement under the circumstances.

He was on probation. I think he forfeits his right to be outraged . . . . . . . . or paid.
It’s just another DBM story drumming up sympathy for people who can’t live within the laws of our society.
No tears, here.

A taser might have helped them get the needed sample.

That is insane, whether he was on probation or not.
By some sort of law, he should just face sanction as if he failed the test.
And who are the sick Orwellian sadists who forced this test anyway? Was it THAT important to get this guys drug results? I bet someone was just getting some sort of perverse pleasure from this.

Just think if he had been an illegal they probably would have bought him a steak dinner and had a cop drive him home.

Oh please! If they take a drunk to the hospital instead of jail, it’s because they need some kind of medical attention. They have to have blood and urine tests. From the stories I’ve heard from cops, these guys are usually cursing and kicking at the poor docs and nurses.
He probably got what he deserved.
