Not my talk - go argue with the AG - but here's some background -

What exactly should I argue with the AG about? He says the doctor shopping can be dangerous and I say that they are crime is VERY RARELY prosecuted - those are not mutually exclusive.

Please let me know the number of times that someone has been prosecuted for this crime. In the two cases that were mentioned in the article, the investigation was in association with an overdose deaths. If someone had just walked up and told law enforcement that those people had been doctor shopping, we all know that the prosecution would not be interested in pursuing the cases.

The point remains that any normal person would not be pursued by the law enforcement for these crimes - especially when the target has already gone through rehab.

"The point remains that any normal person would not be pursued by the law enforcement for these crimes - especially when the target has already gone through rehab."

How does anything you have said support this point ?

The most logical reasoning for why there have been very rare prosecutions so far is that the perp is arrested, charged, admits guilt to the crime and is sent to drug court for court supervised rehab.

Rush has admitted no guilt regarding any crime, and this is still in the investigatory phase.

Are you saying that they should ASSUME that there WAS in fact a crime for him to be guilty of, and drop the investigation anyway because HE says he completed rehab ?

As far as being rarely prosecuted - Once again Rush is on the cutting edge of societal evolution....
