Reply #4: She was right, he was wrong, this was a bad arrest.

First, he'd have gotten his blood sample had he waited, so there was really no reason to ask her to break protocol.

He should be reprimanded but nothing will happen unless she presses charges.

There was a great thread last night on how we should say nothing to police.

There is no requirement to respond to police questions whether or not you are under arrest.

If you're asked to do something like stay out of the way, you can be arrested, but you can't be compelled to draw blood, that's fucking crazy.
