Question

Can you be forced to give urine specimen by hosp against your consent if there is no court order, was in police custody at time for disorderly conduct and public intoxication and was physically restrained by hosp staff and police and a catheter was inserted into my bladder against my consent



Answer

No you cannot be forced, and the hospital may not perform an invasive procedure without consent. If it happened as you described any evidence obtained should be suppressed and you can sue the police and hospital. Feel free to call or email me.
