      They have the ability to get some without a warrant but more would likely require a warrant. Although this is not the kind of thing they need to be investigating, they are just living out their transphobic fascist dreams.

      The next time I encounter a misinformed trans phobic statement in person, it will take all of my will power not to unload my pent up frustration while I attempt to calmly unravel their brain rot.

    This is absolutely horrifying. Can anyone explain how this isn’t a massive HIPAA violation? Or is it, but there’s just nothing to be done because it’s the AG requesting records?

    Edit: spelled HIPAA wrong

        Damn. I clearly need to read up more on HIPAA. I haven’t dug too much into this, but it looks like at least one person has challenged this as a HIPAA violation (source). I wish I had more confidence that anything would come of that.
