Understanding how the Fourth Amendment applies to medical procedures is essential for officers involved in criminal investigations. When medical personnel conduct procedures at the request of law enforcement, these actions can raise serious constitutional questions. Knowing when a medical procedure becomes a search—and how to do it properly—can protect your case from legal challenges.
In Medical Personnel & the Fourth Amendment, you’ll learn about the rules that govern consent, search warrants, and the rights of individuals during medical procedures tied to investigations.
What You’ll Learn
Obtaining Consent for Medical Procedures
Learn the proper way to get consent from a suspect for medical procedures and how to document it to protect your case.Revoking Consent
Understand if and how a person can withdraw consent during a procedure like a blood draw and what that means for your investigation.Medical Procedures and Search Warrants
Get to know situations where officers might need to retrieve evidence, like a bullet, from a suspect’s body and when a warrant is required.
By the end of this class, you’ll know how to handle medical procedures within the boundaries of the Fourth Amendment. You’ll understand how to balance the rights of the individual with the needs of your investigation, ensuring your actions hold up in court.
