Lots of issues and questions are put to light in this "case"
The biggest one is that the trooper has a case of "I have a gun and a badge you better do what I say"...The Ambulance lets the trooper pass and it took the trooper less than 0:00:30 to do it, thanks for the time stamps VinMann:
Next is another point that was just mentioned in the previous post
Do LEO's not understand that point. We in EMS deal with it everyday...Driving L/S is a responsibility not a right. Due regard and all that. How fast was the trooper going en route to assist the Sheriff - and when he got to the scene that scene is looking under control by the officer that is there.
As for the racial issues the EMT driving and the trooper are both Caucasian - was the trooper even able to see what race the paramedic was??
The issue of Abandonment - leaving the truck NO - getting arrested YES.
Also there is another little thing I haven’t seen mentioned yet called HIPPA - the trooper should not have put his head in the back of the Ambulance and spoke with the pt - He was not on the initial call with the pt and had no need for pt contact.
