I’ve known this girl for a few years and we haven’t talked much in the past few years because of a very complicated sitution but she does every type of drug except meth and has been in and out of rehab two times for an eating disorder and ate white oleanders to get out one of the seven times

she just doesn’t have a reason to live and i wish i could give her one but life pretty much sucks especially for her, she had it pretty rough growing up, no longer has a college fund because of rehab and has failed ninth grade a few times because of absences anyway

but im talking to her and i suppose just giving her a semi-good influence helps but i would like some imput in what advice i could give her in getting clean, obviously normal programs don’t help, shes been on methadone and lithium and just uses them as a supplement to her habits
what can i say to help her? why shouldn’t she stay on them honestly? when you think about it. she doesn’t care if she dies and can’t handle pain

According to this article, scientists are in the works to be able to tell things about a person by fingerprints. I’m sure they meant latents. Either way. They state that the proteins that are left can tell them information about that persons drug use (THC, cocaine, nicotine, methadone and opioid drugs), medical conditions (including heart conditions, cancer, diabetes) and if they have fired a gun or touched explosives. Of course, this would be in addition to the usual information that would be on file in AFIS.
Granted, this technology is a long while away.

Would this be a violation of HIPPA laws? Is it a violation of a persons right to privacy? How would it stand in court?

What is your take on this?
I’m familiar with the HIPPA laws, but what I’m wondering about, in regards to that, is having a nonmedical person have access to it, just because it was inadvertantly left at a crime scene. I’m not sure if I’m wording that correctly.
