If most of the general scenario was caught on camera, cop was in the wrong.

Nurse WAS obeying the laws; hospital laws. She was following medical care policy. Which trump pissy ass police officer's in more typical situations. Doesn't matter if the person unconscious is a potential criminal. It's illegal to just hand over records and blood samples merely on an officer's say-so. Medical staff can lose their license and be charged with crimes just for doing that.

This wasn't a case of nurse vs police rebellion.
She was literally following established medical guidelines, the law.
The cop, however, broke a couple of them himself....

And worse, he acted like he didn't know about the laws protecting medical information (a law officer's responsibility, they're SUPPOSED TO be at least familiar with that before they go charging in with handcuffs). He could have come back later with a warrant, etc. Instead he decided to be a power-jerking asshole and strong arm a staff member who was just a representative. It's pathetic.

Clean-cut wrongful arrest.
