What exactly is your fear? That the MMED will request a centers recordings frivolously and start sharing them on the internet?

If you are concerned about the abuse of this rule, then that is a problem that extends through law enforcement and into our judicial system.

Search warrants may be abused by judges, the DA, and police but they serve a needed purpose.

The language from the draft that you quote is a step towards creating a process that law enforcement must go through prior to receiving tapes, or information. Something that will be akin to a search warrant.

I bring up groceries, because in this world we are always being recorded. What we buy, where we go, there are cameras. I am not sure how cameras in an MMC are different, and I want to reiterate that these tapes will not be used to go after patients.
