UNDATED - There are more details about a confrontation earlier this week between an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper and a paramedic in Okfuskee County. The incident was caught on tape as the trooper accuses the ambulance driver of not pulling over when the patrol car was trying pass him. What does the law say about who has the right of way?
It was Sunday along Highway 62 in Paden. Kenyada Davis is behind the cell phone camera. His mother was being transported by Muscogee Creek Nation EMS to a hospital in Prague.

I want to extend a special "thank you" to Cole Cash, who saw the first news coverage of this event and told me about the report.
as a law enforcement officer, an ambulance with emergency response situations have right away just as law enforcement vehicles. stop bitching staties. throwing hands up is not against the law. hopping out of the back of an ambulance to talk boss to boss is not against the law. the trooper should have just went about his business and bitched about an asshole EMS driver and called it a day. Trooper martin is wrong, and if he comes to my town, im pulling his ass over

This lawyer is obviously a complete idiot and has no idea of the code of conduct in EMS. The medic has every right, EVERY RIGHT to get out and make sure that officer knows HE is in charge of that ambulance, and hes right, he is. The officer is a complete ass job as well as his lawyer. Way to protect your citizens jackass.
