It's called Officer.com. It was the first one popped up on the Google search for a police forum. I posted the thread under ask a cop category

Interesting comments.

What does SMACSS mean?

I didn't think she was being a "crusader nurse", I thought she was just following policy which also happened to be the law.

[Ruas61, BSN, RN]

So he thought she should allow her patient to have his constitutional rights violated and be assaulted on top of that??? Please ask him how he thought that would get "all sorted out" AFTER the damage was done without consequences for the nurse? I'm not sure how that works.

It wouldn't have gotten sorted out likely. It would have been brushed under the table. This was almost under the radar too till the video went out. How much of this goes unchallenged daily? The years of the police riding the righteous horse is done. They need to clean this up.

[Tenebrae, BSN, RN]

In all of your collective righteous indignation, has anyone bothered to think that maybe the law needs to change? Warrants shouldn't be required by the police to collect evidence. We're at war with terrorists, drug cartels and violent groups like Antifa. HIPPA and the laws this "nurse" were abusing are only aiding our enemies! This time it was a luckless driver, next time Wubbels might defend a member of ISIS or Antifa.

She should lose her job before any LEO does.

Are you taking the piss?

The patient was not the one at fault in this accident and could not consent. The nurse did what was right.

A test of a society's morals is how they treat their most vulnerable.

What you propose would make us no better than the groups you list

Oh I know. I was just pointing out how erroneous the thinking of Emergent's cop friend is who thought the nurse should have allowed the blood to be drawn and then sort out the legalities later. The problem is the assault, violation of civil rights and HIPAA violation against the victim would have already occurred and the nurse would have been the one to pay for it...possibly with jail time, certainly with sanctions by the BON and potentially with the loss of her job.

as previously noted this person is likely a troll, note the screen name, ie mossburg, is a gun manufacturer.

I just figured out that PC on a police forum does not mean politically correct. It means probable cause. Most of the officers over there seem to feel that this cop was out of line and there was no probable cause.

YAY!

I guess the nursing diagnosis for officer Payne would read something like :

Anal puckerage r/t unlawful arrest of awesome nurse, as evidenced by FBI investigation, social ostracism & loss of gainful employment.

[Emergent, RN]

The police forum has some similarities to this one. There's a thread by a cop wannabe starting with "Pleeeease heeelp meeee!".

Payne admitted that himself, on camera.
