Like, this literally feels like a situation they’d have as one of the quiz questions on my HIPAA cert class.
The police ask you to turn over genetic testing data and/or samples from an infant from several years ago to “Assist in an investigation.” They do not have a warrant. What’s the appropriate response? A - Give them the information they’ve asked for. B - Give the samples but not the data. C - Give the data but not the samples. D - Do not share any information and contact your supervisor to take legal action (Correct)
We need laws that give people complete and total control over their own data. I wish there were a system that could show me exactly who has data on me and for what purposes, and that I could take that data from them at any time I want backing out of any agreement made for that data in the first place.
Tbf HIPAA is kinda supposed to do exactly that for specifically this type of information. I do not understand how this isn’t illegal.
I knew they used Ancestry/23&me data (or something similar) but I do not see how this isn’t illegal. Those aren’t medical companies so it wouldn’t matter, but this is definitely protected health info and giving it to anyone without authorization is illegal.
I’m pretty sure this breaks HIPAA. I can’t fathom how it wouldn’t. Which might not do anything to the cops, but any doctor involved in giving them that info is supposed to get in serious trouble.
Instead of seeking a warrant for which officers did not have probable cause, the New Jersey State Police subpoenaed the testing program to obtain the blood sample of a child, now nine years old, whose father was suspected of committing the assault, the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender claims.
So no warrant. Also maybe I don’t understand the US legal system, but federal law supersedes state law doesn’t it? And HIPAA is federal law.
Did anyone watch psycho pass?
they rated how likely you were to be a criminal from birth and put you in prison if you were lucky you got to be a glorified police dog
Yeah I remember most of the main character’s plot line but weren’t there people that would get tipped over the edge from witnessing crimes and then being labeled for extermination themselves?
