The Drug Enforcement Administration has been sifting through thousands
of supposedly private medical files, looking for Texas doctors and
patients to prosecute without the use of warrants. "It's not like
there's ten of them. There's probably thousands — I know there are
thousands," Matt Barden, spokesman for the DEA, told the Daily Caller
News Foundation about the DEA's use of administrative subpoenas. But, as
a legal brief filed last week points out, lawyers for the federal
government can't find a single case in which a court has "authorized the
use of such a broad array of patient information with such a sparse
record as to why it needs such information."
