ACLU Challenging DEA’s Access to Confidential Prescription Records Without a Warrant

[CuteOldGuy]

This government does not recognize or respect the Constitution at all. Let alone "Preserve, protect and defend" it. What part of the 4th Amendment do they not get? Hell, Obama was lecturer at a respected law school. True, he only lectured on the 14th Amendment, but you'd think he'd have at least read some of the others.

This is obscene, and I hope the ACLU wins!

From the article:

The Drug Enforcement Administration is trying to access private prescription records of patients in Oregon without a warrant, despite a state law forbidding it from doing so. The ACLU and its Oregon affiliate are challenging this practice in a new case that raises the question of whether the Fourth Amendment allows federal law enforcement agents to obtain confidential prescription records without a judge’s prior approval. It should not.

Gawd, I wonder how many completely stupid responses there will be to this topic.

I too hope the ACLU wins. I also wonder if it's possible that these records would be protected by HIPPA.

If the Federal Government is not going to respect the Constitution, they sure won't give a damn about HIPPA.

The lawsuit was actually started by the State of Oregon. The ACLU has filed to intervene.

I agree 100% that the DEA and the Feds should lose this fight.
