 In a "medical emergency"
If a police officer declares a situation a medical emergency (ie. someone having alcohol poisoning) do a person' rights change from a normal situation?

Give an example, I'm not sure I get what you're asking. |

Re: In a "medical emergency"
Your question is unclear. I think I know what you mean however.
If you have committed an arrestable offense you can be arrested. Should a person have a medical emergencyie alcohol poisoningthey are of course entitled to treatment. You are however still under arrest. I am unsure whether or not a person is placed under arrest before or after receiving treatment. I have heard of both happening.

Technically before. Being under arrest makes you a ward of the state, so you may be in the hospital chillin on a morphine drip, but you're STILL under arrest. I've seen cops come in and cuff people to the bedrail, just as a reminder (and in case they attempt to slip out the back) |

Re: In a "medical emergency"
Some of your consent rights evaporate (since you're unconcious). Namely, people are able to assume consent to provide first aid to you if you are unconscious or delirious. Not sure how this affects the pigs' capability to search you or your belongings.

If they arrested you, they can search it even if you pass out into septic shock. However if they are just talking to you and you go into cardiac arrest (before they tell you you are arrested) they can't do anything until the ADA signs an arrest warant/ search warrant. Ofcourse this is not the case if an arrest warrant was already signed before you went into cardiac arrest.
Simply put:
a) Cops arrest you/ You pass out/ They can search you/ your stuff, etc.
b) Cops havent arrested you/ no warrant is signed/ you pass out/ cops can't do anything without ADA
b) Cops havent arrested you/ you are dead drunk or high/ you go into septic shock/ cops can't arrest you without ADA
Cops are experienced in telling if and when a person is going to lose it. They will inform the conscious person they are under arrest before that person passes out. |
