Ridiculous use of force by police.

This seems like a standard practice. I don't know the ins and outs of AZ health law.

However, would this even have been a problem if a trip to the ER wasn't expensive? Imagine a world where we have government funded health care.

It tugs at some interesting threads about forcing vaccination, forcing medical treatment regardless of ability to pay or insurance, and the State's responsibility vs parental negligence. A lot to unravel here.

I'm curious as to whether or not the doctor that instructed them to go the emergency room was able to test for the meningitis. If so why did they not perform the test? This is going off of the story, but why did the doctor just jump to meningitis? Why was DCS alerted even after the doctor was informed that the fever broke? This may not be a police overreach, but more of a DCS overreach.
