That's awesome. Unfortunately, most nurses here are extremely hesitant to assist because they don't want to go to court. That's all most care about. Very frustrating.

Just curious, but why do you start a thread asking for people's opinions and then poo poo on the opinions that don't match up with yours?

Coleman is a DT

Lol...how's Ty Montgomery working out for you? I missed the game...

I know you are mocking, but the metabolization of alcohol within the body can be considered as an exigent circumstance that would allow blood to be drawn without a warrant. Generally speaking, States have an implied consent law in place that allows for law enforcement to draw blood from drivers suspected of being under the influence without a warrant in fatal or serious bodily injury wrecks. The Missouri v. McNeely case recently complicated this somewhat and requires law enforcement to get a warrant for blood draws. ..except under certain exigencies. Again, time and metabolization of alcohol / dissipation of evidence are exigencies to be considered. The interesting thing about this case, is I haven't heard anything about probable cause for the blood draw - either under implied consent, or a warrant. I'm not exactly familiar with Utah laws on the subject, and am just speaking on general terms (dui laws are pretty standard across all states, since the Feds will withhold money from states that don't adopt their NHTSA suggestions). Its possible that Utah attempts to draw on all serious bodily injury or fatal wrecks. In Florida, we need consent, a warrant, or exigent circumstances. BTW, the safety of the drunk in the hospital is not my concern. They are in a hospital for Cripes sake. My concern is making sure that I get accurate evidence that will lead to an accurate investigation, and if necessary lead to a prosecution to hold them responsible for maiming or killing an innocent person while driving impaired. God forbid you are ever on the wrong side of a drunk driver, I'm sure you would want law enforcement to do everything legally possible to get justice for your loved one.

I was waiting for you to up your offer from thielen...lol

Boyst willing to sell his soul to get ty Montgomery. I should have held out for one of those young hotties he is always bragging about. I guess I'll take diggs, landry, and KC.

I'm down with that

How long are you willing to change your avatar?

Them's some high stakes right derrr

Is that your excuse for sucking?

I know you thought I was trying to insult you, but actually I wasnt. It's a legit question. I've never seen you contribute to anyone else's thread. I see a constant stream of LAMPs, followed by responding to your own LAMP. I ask again, if this place is full of meanieheads, why would you choose to put yourself in that environment?

So, if the board is so bad, why do you keep coming back?

I think some of the way the offense looked in the second half had a bit to do with just trying to sit on the game and take the air out of the ball

Is it a football discussion? No? It belongs on off the wall. Don't like the rules, you can leave. There are plenty of other, more reliable, sources of information than a Buffalo Bills message board for things like hurricanes and evacuation routes. Good luck.

Not feeling the love, man. I'm not sure a direct hit on Miami is best for all!

In Orlando. Gonna ride this puppy out. Would be really nice if it stays off shore.

Awesome!!!

Just curious, what rights were violated? The man wasnt arrested. He was temporarily detained pursuant to an easily articulated reasonable suspicion. Once that suspicion was disspelled, he was released without any charges. This is how the system works.

Your friend must be new to inland central Florida. Those of us in the center of the state will be ok. Wind damage here and there, but no issue with storm surge.

That press release reads like a 12 year old wrote it.

Saying "if you move, I will kill you" to a shooting suspect doesn't seem out of bounds. Actually shooting a suspect who makes a non threatening move, would be out of bounds. Not sure where the problem is.

Can you explain why you think he "was trying to protect his blue brother by getting blood"? Your post makes little sense to me, and I'm not exactly sure that you know what the implied consent laws are, either. In this particular case, I have no idea what happened. Anyone not directly involved, and not having an understanding of the fine and complicated intricacies of a states implied consent law, are just spewing nonsense. I have had personal experience with a nurse refusing to draw blood for me on a drunk suspect who had just crashed and killed a young man. I had a legit case for arresting that nurse for obstructing justice, but I handled it through "political" channels instead to avoid this exact poopstorm. In the end, I got what I needed. ..it just took a couple of extra hours (meanwhile, precious evidence of impairment was metabolizing away). The nurse hid behind HIPPA. Even when I pointed out in HIPPA and Florida Statute where it specifically authorized him to do his job in this case, and draw blood for me, he refused. Incredibly, incredibly frustrating.

Or Foxboro?

Looks like the models are pushing the storm back to east of the Florida peninsula today. Any DC Tom, DC Dick, or DC Harry can be a weatherman!
