Is it illegal for a police officer to give out person information such as medical issues?
Coreyswifey88
You are asking about the HIPAA, which prohibits health care professionals from sharing medical information. The police are not included in this act. Generally, in order for the police to obtain medical information about a person, they'd need the person's permission. They may also be able to get the information with a court order. The permission may come with a contract limiting how the information could be shared. Otherwise, such information is not protected by HIPAA.
