alt Hacker NewsThis appears to be a story about a guy who hit the limit in his state, with a reporter talking to an enforcement agent explaining why he looked nothing like an offender, followed by a story about a busted meth lab and their purchasing patterns in the database. It doesn't look like anybody narrowly avoided anything, and it's from 2013.
I object to the government pulling a medication report containing the name, date of birth, address, and ID number for me and the people in the pharmacy around the same time as me, and then setting a "watch" on me.
from the article:
> he showed up one day early to purchase his two-week supply.
Good thing he didn't show up in the next county one day early. Maybe that would've been enough for Goff to act.
The article also points out that pse remains non-prescription because if it were to become rx-only, the government would be prohibited from monitoring it. Here I was just thinking that prescription exists for the health and safety of the patient...
This whole thing is gross.
What's the significance of 2013?
