QUESTION
In a DUI, is it legal for cop and nurse at the hospital to draw blood with no choice?
Asked on Jul 21st, 2015 on Criminal Law - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
Can the cop order the nurse to draw blood? There was no warrant and nurse in the hospital grabbed my arm and drew my blood. I did not sign a release or consent for anything. I was also alert. Can I sue the hospital? I feel violated.

It might be but you would have to go over ALL of the facts with an attorney. The last time I had something like this, the blood was admissible because my client was being treated for injuries.
