Yes they have. Palm Beach may not have had many arrests and jail sentences for doctor shopping, but the poorer counties in Florida certainly have. And it's very typical for prosecuters to charge people with an amount of drugs over a certain limit with "intent to distribute." That's why so many non-violent drug offenders without priors are in jail!
It's BS -- I just wish people would protest this governmental overreach for anonymous fellow citizens as well as for Rush.
where is your evidence or cite?
This was researched before and as a lawyer and this was the topice of discussion way back when this started. Doctor shopping is as rare as unicorns.
In addition doctor shopping laws originated as a means of targeting fake patients who where trying to restoke supplies for dealing not using.
