It depends on who you believe. When arresting someone if they request medical attention, which happens frequently, you have to, depending on policy, get them such attention within a reasonable time frame. Unless it's life threatening you do not have to stop everything you're doing and immediately call the paramedics.

Which is exactly why the charges of false imprisonment are asinine and pandering.
Quote:There is a term called "good faith effort" that is in law, and in the business world, that is a very abstract concept. But essentially it is the same as you refer to about the reasonable person. An honest mistake is an honest mistake and it shouldn't be criminal. Sometimes people go too far with the handling of the aftermath, and sometimes people are doing more than just making honest mistakes. I think both occurred in Baltimore.
We use the term, "due diligence", but the concept is the same. While I agree it's possible that they arrested Grey even though they knew the knife was legal there's no way to prove that. That being the case these charges are, again, asinine and pandering. I'm not commenting on any other charges, although I have previously stated that the depraved heart murder is a stupid over charge. However, it's these exact charges that have caused the atmosphere of apprehension among the Baltimore PD. At the very least this is my understanding based on accounts and common sense stemming from professional experience.
