All that and more when we come of police want to search the medicine cabinet in your home they have to have a search warrant but an investigation from the Washington Bureau found that states including florida allow Law Enforcement to tap into electronic investigative correspondent Mark Greenblatt investigates these and prescribed intrusions. Reporter i had no idea that a Police Officer just on a whim could go into my medical records. Utah firefighters ryan pyle and marlon jones had their i couldve lost my family were my career. Local police were investigating the theft of Prescription Drugs from an Area Fire Department in 2013. With no suspects they turned to the States Database that tracks description drug records. And conducted a search into the Prescription Drug histories of all 480 Fire Department employees. We looked at your medical records and saw you were taking medical prescriptions inappropriately. They were charged related to doctor shopping and for pyle and his wife adoption. It was these two kids that we potentially could of lost. That is what hit the hardest. Calvin comore said the police simply used the tools they had available. We were acting purely according to the state law. The charges were dropped but the controversy prompted utah to change the law and require states allowing Law Enforcement to tap into the confidential electronic Prescription Drug history without any type of judicial authorization. Nationwide adds up to over 340,000 searches in the past two years and that is six times the amount in states that do require judicial review. In Indiana Police simply have to provide a case number and in West Virginia no case numbers required. Only a promise of an investigation. And that the 31 states that do 23 dont even honor the program. When utah did an audit the state concluded access may have resulted in questionable use and more than half of the cases sampled. The states like new mexico dont conduct audits and dont require warrants for Law Enforcement. You trust that. Absolutely. The top regulator in new mexico said he is unaware of the database and believe it would be illegal. But state records reveal a different story. There is a Police Officer who accessed it more than 30 times getting patient information. Whats going on here. I have no idea but i am glad you have brought this to my attention. And so he said he would reconsider the states position on warrantless searches. We need to monitor that an for Public Citizen representing pyle and jones in litigation.
