nc police want medical records...

[strollingbones]

Sheriffs in North Carolina want access to state computer records identifying anyone with prescriptions for powerful painkillers and other controlled substances.

The state sheriff's association pushed the idea Tuesday, saying the move would help them make drug arrests and curb a growing problem of prescription drug abuse. But patient advocates say opening up people's medicine cabinets to law enforcement would deal a devastating blow to privacy rights.

Allowing sheriffs' offices and other law enforcement officials to use the state's computerized list would vastly widen the circle of people with access to information on prescriptions written for millions of people. As it stands now, doctors and pharmacists are the main users.

Perhaps this sheriff ought to go back to cop school, for a remedial due process class. If he needs to see medical records, all he has to do is swear out a warrant, stating probable cause, and have a judge sign it.

The 4th Amendment...wussdat?

 

[Care4all]

Yeah, South Carolina spits on it. I hadn't noticed that the Supreme Court ruled on this boneheaded sheriff's request, though, so wonder why you made that statement that makes no sense?

Sure why not, the war on drugs is a war of freedom .

What's the difference between him getting the records or the federal government establishing a national database for all medical records?

If you weren't such a fucking retard I might answer you directly. But, here's my answer, find someone to read it to you.

This is what happens when we have a government that has no respect for founding principles of limited, Constitutionally directed government and uses the Commerce Clause and Taxation power to pass any and all legislation, no matter how Unconstitutional or invasive.

 

[Care4all]

the National Database is for the patient's and Doctor's use, not the Police.....

there is a big difference....Doctors can't arrest you, take away your freedom, and put you away.

 

[strollingbones]

anyone paying attention here...its north carolina and its the sheriffs....

Um, if its just for the patient and doctor, um, er, then why include anyone else besides the patient and doctor?

You mean North Carolina?

Correct, my bad. It was SC that wanted Craig's list to relinquish its freedom of press.

You mean like the Civil Rights Acts?

I don't even know why these crackpot sheriffs are making a press announcement. They must know in their heart of hearts that there's no way in hell this will ever see the light of day.

Yeah, I'm not understanding your "point" at all.
