I’ve occasionally noted my opposition to putting tin stars on doctors by requiring us to report things that we might otherwise keep confidential. Now Joe Cadillic notes another one of those problematic laws:

I’m having trouble describing Oregon’s disturbing statutes and how two courts made excuses to allow law enforcement to circumvent our Constitution.

This month, an Oregon Appeals court agreed with a district court ruling which forces first responders to become state actors.

“Oregon statue 676.260 says a health care facility “shall notify” a law enforcement officer in the course of treatment when a person’s blood person’s blood alcohol level exceeds .08 percent or their blood contains a controlled substance.”

Not unexpected, another encroachment on the rights of ‘we the people’ by ‘the powers that be’. Another brick in the wall between an individual and the tattered remains of their personal rights. And Oregon is not even a pimple on California’s a**, imagine what has been happening there…
