the hospital can run tests and they ARE bound by HIPPA laws.....they don't have to give those results to the cops.....especially without a warrant.....thus saving the patient....blood tests can be done without giving the results to LEO.....a reply to: Isurrender73

So we need to have a judge on call 24/7 in order to get a warrant?

Can anyone provide any reason why a warrant would be denied by a judge when someone is passed out at the wheel of a vehicle? Being passed out at the wheel is more than enough for probable cause.

Requiring a warrant in such situations is a waste of money. This is common sense.

Well, if a person is unconscious, bloodwork could be the difference between them living or dying. The cops have no way of knowing if they just drank too much or OD'ed on something.
