The lines between law enforcement and health care are blurring. Police lean on doctors to provide them with genetic samples, prescription histories, and toxicology results that they could not obtain on their own. This often occurs without a warrant or the patient's consent. At the same time, legislatures are using physicians as regulatory levers to police pregnant and transgender bodies. And due to chronic underfunding of social services, many Americans now receive pseudo-mental health treatment through the courts rather than clinics.Together, these things paint a sinister picture of law enforcement being thrust into medicine in ways that are deeply troubling and vastly under-explored.
