“In Pyle’s case, there was no evidence to suggest he had anything to do with the morphine theft that sparked the investigation. While looking through his prescription history, however, the detective felt that something wasn’t right. Eventually, Pyle heard from the Salt Lake County Attorney’s Office. His case had been screened and declined for prosecution.  Four days later, the Utah Attorney General charged Ryan Pyle with prescription drug fraud.  How can the police have such broad powers to comb through a prescription drug database?  [..] State law changes like Utah’s, however, won’t stop federal agencies like the DEA from accessing these databases without a warrant.”
