Police know the Law.

Update: The Hero Cops in this case unfairly treated due the to premature release of body cam footage causing a Witchhunt as explained by Stephen Hartney, the Salt Lake City police union’s president.
“The premature release of body cam footage, and information related to the disciplinary investigation, and repeated statements by city officials to the media has unfairly and improperly made pariahs of the involved officers,”...[releasing the body camera video while the investigation is still ongoing] “has created a public furor which makes reasoned determinations difficult, if not impossible. A furor which did not have to occur,” ...[while later adding that release of the video also] “creates an explosive atmosphere for no reason whatsoever.”...“The premature release of body cam footage is particularly demoralizing as it allows the public who have not trained as police officers to make what often amounts to biased and ill-informed judgments of the police,”
Arbitration will allow these Hero Cops to return to their Duty and Jobs with Back Pay.

At the beginning the nurse tries to be a "Jailhouse Lawyer" to the cop.  But he "knows what the law is" because he is a member of the Law Enforcement caste.   She is trying to show that her authority in the Hospital overrides his as a cop.
"Wubbels, who is surrounded by other hospital staffers, explains in the video that she is doing what her bosses told her to do. She eventually prints out a copy of the policy for blood draws - one that Salt Lake police agreed to more than a year ago, according to Porter - and shows it to the officer."

That is why she was arrested for "Contempt of Cop and Officer Payne knows that he has the full backing of his superiors and was just following orders.
"But Payne insists he, too, is following orders.
"I'm doing what I'm being told by my boss, and I'm going to do what my boss says," Payne says sternly at one point in the recording."

I would guess Salt Lake City police are going wait for this to blow over quietly supporting Officer Payne, go into Bunker mode saying nothing and try to settle this behind the scenes.

Hero cop GeorgeH  show up to rehab defend his fallen buddy with common sense.
Listen to his lawyer’s explanation of implied consent, especially for those with a CDL involved in a fatal vehicle accident. Blood must be drawn by a peace officer. Det Payne should be judged in a court of law not the media and a you tube video which is extremely biased. Police, Fire, Doctors, Nurses, EMTs need to cooperate with each other. The Hospital and Police department should have never let this happen, that’s why the Hospital changed their policy regarding Police interacting with nurses. The nurse was an olympic skier…how about Det Payne? Did he ever serve our country in the military, does he have a family, children? All we see is him doing his job and doing what he was told. An investigation will take place, I look forward to the result. What’s going to happen when the victim comes out of the coma that the hospital induced…will he any say in the matter?
