In Amherst, NY this week. A gun owner saw his handgun license revoked by order of the NYS Police. The town clerk had to revoke and seize his permit for being on psych meds. Only a couple of days late the state gestapo informed the town clerk that they’d made a mistake and gotten the wrong individual.
How is it that New York State can avoid the HIPPA laws and have law enforcement search patient records without patient permission?
Because they carved out exceptions for themselves for whatever flimsy reasons they need.
HIPPA doesn’t do a damn thing except keep your family from knowing about you.
