Nurse Refuses to Break Law for Cop - Cop Brutally Arrests Nurse - Internet Is Still on Fire (Video)
Whipping like wildfire across the internet late Thursday evening is arguably one of the more shocking incidents of brute force displayed by law enforcement in the United States — indeed, a rare characterization, given American policing’s interminable list of killings, beatings, corruption, lies, and general misbehavior — because, this time, the subject of a bully cop’s strong-arm tactics was a nurse.
A nurse, just doing her job.
The nurse, Alex Wubbels, doing her job in Salt Lake City’s University Hospital, tried to protect an unconscious patient from having their blood drawn without their ability to consent or refuse, by the order of Salt Lake City Police Detective Jeff Payne — whose demands unequivocally violated her employer’s strict policy against drawing blood from unconscious patients without warrant, prior consent, or unless the patient is under arrest — which would have supplanted said rule.
“I’m just trying to do what I’m supposed to do,” Wubbels told the detective on the July 26th video, released late Thursday by the Salt Lake Tribune.
As Payne’s body camera records their rapidly escalating encounter, Wubbels can be seen holding papers and a cell phone, over which it becomes clear a man named “Brad” has been listening over speakerphone — as he, too, tries to reason with the brash detective, explaining the orders for forcible blood draw must come from proper channels.
Unamused, Payne persists — even as Wubbels grows visibly nervous and unsure how to handle the irate detective.
“This is something that you guys agreed to with this hospital,” Wubbels tells Payne. “I’m just trying to do what I’m supposed to do. That’s all.”
“So I take it, without those in place, I’m not going to get blood,” he retorts. “Am I fair to surmise that?”
From the cell phone, Brad is heard telling the nurse, “Alex, you’re not representing the University Hospital.”
“I have no idea why he’s blaming me,” Wubbels, shaking, responds softly.
Sternly, Brad interjects, “Why are you blaming the messenger, sir?”
“She’s the one that has told me, no,” Payne replies.
“You’re making a huge mistake right now, because you’re threatening a nurse,” Brad admonishes Payne, apparently setting the officer’s temper aflame, as he abruptly lunges forward and grabs for Wubbels’ phone, snapping,
“No, we’re done, you’re under arrest.”
Understandably startled to be manhandled and intimidated by the detective who apparently didn’t understand the law or policy, Wubbels recoils reflexively from his clutches, turning from the impending detention in disbelief — but, Payne pursues her roughly, backing the nurse around equipment and into a uniformed officer’s arms, and then outside.
With body camera rolling, the nurse screams in agony at Payne’s clutch on her arm, now held fast behind her back, “Help! Help! Somebody help me! Stop! Stop! I did nothing wrong!” Hospital employees are seen congregating and attempting to quell the detective’s rage, telling him an administrator is en route to mediate.
“She can sit in my car while they’re coming,” Payne assures them.
“This is unnecessary, man,” someone asserts — to which the cop replies, “You’re right.”
Wubbels has obtained an attorney, saying she was illegally arrested and assaulted; although, no lawsuit or claim has yet been filed — but there are no shortage of odd facets to this interaction on video.
For one, the unconscious patient never was a suspect in any crime, and would be considered the victim in this case, as RT reports, since “[he] was driving a semi-truck on July 26 when a suspect, fleeing Logan, Utah police in a hot pursuit, swerved and slammed his pickup truck into [him], igniting an explosion that left [him] burned. The suspect, Marco Torres, died at the scene.”
Although remaining on active duty, Payne has been temporarily removed from the Salt Lake City Police blood-draw program, pending the conclusion of an internal investigation into the incident, according to Sergeant Brandon Shearer.
In a written report, Payne said his actions were in respone to a request from Logan police to get the blood sample, and said he explained “exigent circumstances and implied consent law” to Wubbels.
Lt. James Tracy, the watch commander on duty, reported he spoke on the phone with Wubbels and told her he believed that they (the police) had implied consent to get the sample, but she cut him off and said she would not allow the draw without a warrant. Lt. Tracy then went to the hospital and tried to tell the nurse why she was in custody, but “she appeared to not want to hear my explanation,” Tracy documented in his report.
[Karra Porter, a Salt Lake City attorney representing Wubbels], however, said “implied consent” has not been the law in Utah since 2007, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2016 that the Constitution permits warrantless breath tests in drunken-driving arrests, but not warrantless blood tests. She stressed that the patient was always considered the victim in the case and never was suspected of wrongdoing.
Should Payne go unpunished for the shocking, wrongful arrest, a grim portent would exist both for workers going about their duties, as well as the innocent public leery of having law enforcement attempt robbery of their blood under conditions where such an act would never be allowed.
Wubbels, who is still coming to terms with the incident, has one warning for the public:
“If this could happen to me, it could happen to anyone.”

Bad cop…very bad cop. Officer you made a big mistake!!! You are about to be screwed by the very Constitution you broke.
You live in the United States of America…not North Korea.
George Soros funded Marxist cop? Are you from Berkeley, CA???
Respectfully, can you show us a link, reference material, or some kind of evidence that the lawsuit has happened in real life?
Who is taking charge of this situation, or where is the independent co-op?

The Officer has been removed from the blood draw program but remains on active duty. The Salt Lake City is alarmed by what happened, according to a spokesperson, and are working to ensure this never happens again.
The Mayor and State Governor have both spoken out against this incident so it seems, to me at least, that it’s only a matter of time before a law suit is done and dusted.
You guys are missing the point. Police did not ”surround” the suspect or try to stop him, but engaged in Hollywood pursuit and bystander got hurt. In order to avoid accusations of reclessness, they detained and abused nurse for not giving blood sample of the bystander that was unconcious in the hospital. The police wanted to avoid possible law suite by breaking the law. They could have been ”pardoned” if the guy was under influence and ”silly nurse” removed the possibility of falsification of evidence by making ”human error” and mixing samples. Just follow the money…
The District Attorney has now called for a criminal investigation…

… and the LEO is on paid administrative leave.
Seems to me from observation we have an issue with Police all over the world.
The only solution I can see is we we all stop infringing these corporate codes, then
we will have no need for corporate security services .
In the meantime all Overvelous security officers would be dealt with serverly.
There is a huge problem with police and their so-called “Qualified Immunity”. Trump has made it even worse by giving police extraordinary powers, so you can look for heaps more cases such as this.
Put the cop in chains.
The COP had NO RIGHT to arrest this nurse for doing her job. The baloney cop must be arrested himself and LOSE his job for violating another citizen’s right.
never to work in the public sector for life
Schmerber v. California, 384 U.S. 757, 770-771 (1966), the Supreme Court ruled that police could obtain a blood test without a warrant under exigent circumstances but only if the time it takes to get the warrant would prevent the police from obtaining the evidence. Obviously this ruling occurred in 1996 and warrant processing is very quick these days. Alcohol stays in your blood for 10-12 hours so it is unreasonable for a police officer to use exigent circumstances to draw blood. The only drug I know that has a short detection window in blood is LSD.
Even if there was justifiable exigent circumstances to draw the suspect’s blood, the nurse is most likely well within her legal right to refuse to do it unless presented with a court order or warrant.
Something smells like rotten fish here. We are not being told the entire story. We draw blood every day on “unconscious” people in the hospital without there consent or a warrant. It would be malpractice if we did not. Imagine someone found “down” and 911 was called and the paramedics bring them to the hospital. One of the first things that is done is a blood draw (multiple in fact) when they arrive. We are told that it is against the hospital policy in the first paragraph to draw this patient’s blood which can not be accurate.
“It would be malpractice if we did not.” If more Americans in the ‘land of the free’ simply questioned like this poor woman they would have retained more of their now lost civil liberties. A society originated on such high hopes has indeed come a very long way. Very sad STATE of affairs.
Again zio-trained fag pigs. Show me the skekels. Doubt it not.
Masonic or corrupt all the same. The MAFIA also Masonic and Jesuit.
I wonder why so many want to give the corporate employees more power.
The entire fraud perpetrated by the state is to make the people they are paid by to be sub-servant or die.
They have zero constitutional authority to do what they do and few seem to care and want to give them more power they do not have.
These people are brown shits who work for the revenue collector to fund the fraud against the American Sovereigns.
They good news is that they are all paid employees and will buckle overnight when they have to face real men with real ability to defend themselves.
Many are simply waiting for these cowards to cross the line. I will leave this to your imagination.
This what you get when cops are “trained” in Israel . . Gutless and cowardly, just like the Israeli’s treat the Palestinians today.
Fucking pigs
I don’t think this policeman/law officer understands the laws that govern hospitals. The nurse was correct. I will donate funds to the legal representation of the nurse. I will follow this thru. My wife is a nurse for 35 years and if a law enforcement person tried to force her to disobey hospital code she would not do so. Please pray for the nurse. She will never be same caring person she was.
This video should have been on every tv broadcast and radio news across the globe.Thanks BIN for the courage to allow us to see and hear this travesty.
