Sorry if not everyone gets it.   The Fourth Amendment, that one two after the guns, says you are free from illegal search.  Which also means no warrant, no dice.  So the nurse is required to protect the patient's privacy with HIPAA and the Fourth Amendment protected him from an illegal search.  So the nurse was right on many levels and the former police embarrassment was wrong on many many more levels both legally and professionally.  This guy should do a year at least for this.  This is not acceptable, this isn't a fascist state.
