Hospital policy does not supercede the criminal code.
In this situation, I have no idea why the police needed to draw blood or if they had a warrant.

No. There are all the pertinent facts in the video and story
Police requested a blood test
Nurse demonstrated policy agreed to by the police and hospital
No warrant,
No consent
No arrest
Supreme Court confirmed no right to compel blood test
Officer pouted
Officer made illegal arrest
Other officers watched it occur
Simply "letting her go" after an illegal arrest is insufficient.
To use your words, illegal police demands do not supersede an individuals rights
