    Sensing danger?

    Wouldn't happen where I am. If police request transport they have to accompany. For the sake of the argument I would back off and if he wants to leave he is free to leave. I am not putting myself at risk by trying to keep the idiot in the truck.

    Wow really? My understanding was that the nremt was very strict and didn't outright allow outside training. Did they get a state license then get nremt that way?
