Loading ...If the cops even try to violate patients privacy rights they can be subject not only to internal affairs although useless most the time but a fine through Hippa privacy acts which has different levels of fines. In the case of knowingly and forcibly trying to get information and in this case interfering with the dutys of medical professionals to get it the fine could be about 450 thousand to each cop involved in trying to force the information. That’s not to mention false improsonment of the nurse and law suit by both her and the patient. Even in implied consent the cop has to have a credible reason and the person has a right to refuse. Utah laws have changed about that anyway. It’s really reckless disregard of this cop trying to do this to a seriously injured patient with the excuse it was to prove his innocence ” which was just a excuse” when he wasn’t the one who caused the accident.
