Fear of aids
Posted: Thu Feb 22, 2001 10:48 pm
On a case I am working on, a related component is that a person was an inpatient at a local hospital, that the person was given an injection by a nurse, that subsequent to the injection the nurse accidentally punctured herself with the same needle.
The patient was required to submit to blood borne disease testing, including aids.
Patient was told that this testing was a legal requirement. Any comments?

Any violations here?
What if the person who inadvertently flashes a concealed weapon is a plain-clothes officer shopping at the local market on his way home off duty?
Will he be judged by a different standard than the ordinary citizen?

I remember back in the seventies, during the oil embargo, some gas station attendants were wearing holstered pistols in plain sight to discourage crass behavior and outright violence at the pumps. Those guys were publicized in the papers and no arrests were made. Also, in some gun shops, clerks pack guns in plain sight.Unfortunately there are cases in Massachusetts where the courts have held that the mere inadvertent visability [sic] of a concealed firearm is enough to cause apprehension and bring forth the charge of "brandishing".
