More than that needs to happen.
The cops were desperate to get that blood sample. His boss pressured him to get it. Why? The answer to that question will explain a lot.
I'm thinking the SLC police department is dirty. They wanted that blood sample for a reason.
It seems to me they know a lawsuit is coming. They’re trying to shift blame and/or add to a contributory negligence percentage.
Now, they’ll likely face TWO lawsuits. At least.
Absolutely. Logic dictates that. Why push so far for a blood draw from an innocent victim of a road chase where perp and cops crashed into the victim? Unless it was to deflect blame away from the cops. They were pushing the nurse to disobey hospital rules and procedures, and pushed way too hard. Guilty cop.
You are the 1st person I know of to ask the very important question!
They say it was to avoid a lawsuit by the dying victim’s family! In other words they were fishing out crap on citizens to look like heros! Pieces of garbage
I agree. These dirty cops likely wanted to spike the blood with something to make the truck driver look bad.
“The cops were desperate to get that blood sample. His boss pressured him to get it. Why? The answer to that question will explain a lot.”
The trucker has a potential lawsuit for damages and personal injury caused by the police chase.
If the cops can test his blood and find alcohol or drugs in the sample they can use that to claim it’s the trucker’s fault.
Without it they can’t use that defense and if found liable will have to fork out big bucks.
Now they’ll have to fork out big bucks for that and the nurse’s suit if she files one.
