Over on arfcom there's a huge thread about this incident with lots of body cam footage and numerous news article links. Some LEOs have said the whole mess reeks of butt covering by the LEAs involved in the car chase. Speculation is that the state patrol wanted the blood test to see if the innocent truck driver/Idaho reserve sheriff 's deputy had any drugs or alcohol in his system so the state patrol and other agencies in the chase could shift some or all the blame for the wreck onto the truck driver and off themselves. Oh and of course they released a statement that they were wanting the blood draw to "clear" the truck driver of any suspicion. Nice folks.
