ORIGINAL POST **Video of the incident has been provided below** And people sit around wondering why we view the police in such a negative light! In bodycam footage from July 26th of this year, Salt Lake City detective Jeff Payne can be seen and heard demanding nurse Alex Wubbels draw blood from an unconscious and badly burned truck driver who had been injured in a car accident to see if he was under the influence of any substances. Wubbels can be seen calmly explaining to Payne that due to hospital protocol she CAN NOT draw the patient's blood unless Payne presented an electronic warrant, gained patient consent, or declared an intent to arrest the patient. Payne can then be seen telling the nurse that she was under arrest and damn near dragging her out of the hospital while she screamed for help and that she had done nothing wrong. Other officers can be seen in the vicinity of the altercation, but none of them intervene to deescalate the situation. Wubbel was taken to the police station, but was later removed without being charged with a crime. Salt Lake City announced on Friday, that the Unified Police Department is also conducting an independent investigation into whether a criminal act was performed. Police spokeswoman, Christina Judd, has also confirmed that Payne has been removed from blood draw duties and has been put on paid administrative leave pending criminal investigation. Brief thought: You can do absolutely everything right and SOME police officers will still think they have the right to do anything to you just to get their way and the fact that none of the officers that were surrounding them did nothing, isn't surprising to me. They protect each other regardless of if one's actions are right or wrong. I commend her for standing her ground and following protocol to protect the right's of her patient. Jeff Payne needs to be fired and there's no way around that and I absolutely think that she should sue, she's entitled to every penny that may be awarded to her because that whole incident was unnecessary!
