Rush Limbaugh: United States
built 223 days ago
Rush Limbaugh's attorney argued Wednesday that investigators trampled the conservative commentator's privacy rights when they made a surprise visit to a doctor's office to seize his medical records. But Assistant State Attorney Jim Martz said giving notice would have limited the ability to investigate allegations that Limbaugh illegally "doctor shopped" to obtain pain pills, visiting several doctors to receive duplicate prescriptions. (watch video of entire hearing at RushLimbaugh.com) Black said Florida law designates that a subpoena must be used — not a search warrant — because of privacy issues involved with medical records. A subpoena requires that the patient is notified before the seizure and the person then has the chance to object in a court hearing. Chief Judge Gary Farmer questioned Martz as to why the search warrants asked for all of Limbaugh’s medical records, not just those pertaining to prescription painkillers. Martz said Limbaugh has homes in addition to his Palm Beach mansion and travels globally.
