Greg is correct, actually there does not seem to be any who was right and who was wrong. The Doctor was completely within his right to await a written order, after all that is what is called "process". Anyone can make a call. What would have happened if it had not been a judge who was calling? The police were also within their right to make the arrest.
Of course Greg is also correct that the likelihood of something actually happening to a Doctor with his resources in this situation are remote to say the best. What has happened is a few tin gods getting their authority challenged and each acting like the "Authority" each usually expects others to regard them as. These description would seem to be including Doctors, Judges, and Police. Not that there are not wonderful, humble examples of each profession doing admirable jobs without the benefit of any pedestal at all. I believe that is why we, with our laws, demand to have the due in "Due process". It actually is rather comical to one who is standing on the outside of farce. Of course having someone challenging authority is good for each and everyone of these three professions; it helps burnish some of the shine off of the old halos.
