i see language in there where tests performed by law enforcement can serve as the tests required by the employer, but i see nothing about a driver needing to comply with tests by law enforcement (only their employer). moreover, i see nothing about consent, especially in the case of a driver who can't give any.That's what makes this an interesting case, hospital can not force a patient to give blood against their consent, they have to have consent. Guy who is unconscious can not give consent.
Trucker involved in accident, HAS to give blood per FMSCA,
The cop/detective erred, he needed to get a warrant, which I believe is what the hospital admin on the cell was asking him to do.
