MODERATORS
Of course they are, why would there be a basic expectation of privacy for medical data, it's only a HiPAA violation to disclose it.
Someone needs to request the worst of the worst police officers' personal prescription records and release those to make a point
Unfortunately, I'm afraid it will only enforce a two tier privacy system: one where people of importance get granted a privilege when others don't...
I'm obliquely suggesting its already that way and it needs to be reconfigured. Said bad apple's records would likely be treated with
professional courtesylike those friends of the police get out tickets free cardsAnd then we can celebrate the them at their funeral. So sad how many accidental officer firearm discharges are associated with people “making a point”.
Seriously, what part of surveillance police state do people not understand
