Did anyone hear his comment - something like "you people are always doing this, asking for warrants" I guess there is a history of Police abuse in that town and no wonder the office is such a jack-wagon, he was trained by the sr. jack-wagon!

Hey, why not wake up the judge or get the electronic warrant? Would have taken less time than the video....


Every one of the LEO's on site should have been relieved of their duty.

If you watch the 19 minute video one officer asks that very question. The one that arrested her says "They don't have PC."

This was an intended humbling as part of an ongoing issue between the PD and the hospital. Everything is in the long video.

The Lieutenant is now in hot water as well. As he should be.

It was also disturbing to me when he was telling her in effect if we're wrong we can clear it up through civil action. That would be so comforting to me if I was treated in the manner she was. That the PD is only now investigating and taking some action is evidence to me they were going to do nothing except take Payne off hospital duty and reacted only after the video came out. I hate this sort of thing because it gives those who dislike our police ammunition to criticize our men and women of law enforcement.

Payne and another officer are now on administrative leave and under criminal investigation.

ps. i updated the title. thanks Carl

The person they wanted blood from was a truck driver (and off duty LEO) who was a victim. What need was there for his blood to be drawn for police use?
He was head-oned by a guy fleeing police. I police stated there was implied consent which is not true under the law.

Someone should be looking for employment.

I have to differ with that. Immediately after the person on the phone says "your making a huge mistake Payne goes off on her "no, we're done, we're done, you're under arrest" after which he grabs her, restrains her and cuffs her. In my book that pretty much looks like an arrest!

The arresting detective has been suspended from blood draw duty. I'm wondering why he's not suspended from duty period. I'm not a lawyer, but I can't think of a legal tenet that would give a police officer the ability to force a hospital to draw blood and provide it as evidence on the VICTIM of an accident, if there's no consent, no warrant and no arrest and enforce it with threat of arrest for refusing. I hope we haven't reached that point! The latest news release I read said no law suit has been filed, but the nurse has a lawyer. Just a matter of time IMHNALO.
