gee, using this "logic", administering sodium pentathol, for the person's own good, would be perfectly reasonable. narius, at the risk of being rational, how could the police possibly know what was in the bag? it could have been powdered sugar for all they knew. the only way they could know for certain was to violate, under the guise of medical treatment, this guy's 4th amendment rights. how hard would it have been for them to have obtained a warrant first? one hopes that this will be overturned on appeal. one hopes. let me clue you in guy, some of us are a tad more protective of our civil liberties, even at the expense of the occasional criminal going free, than you apparently are. i bet you'd have loved the gulags.
