Anyone remembers the video rental privacy law? In the US we basically for some reason must have a specific law about each specific modality. For those who don't remember, it was explicitely illegal for video stores to disclose rental records (still is). And of course, you guessed it, this law happened because a politician had their rental records disclosed (a judge in this case) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Privacy_Protection_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Privacy_Protection_Act
Apparently some digital video lawyers are trying to use it there.
And I don't know how well it blocked disclosures when cops asked.
Librarians at (good) public libraries are used to refusing disclosure.
But no, not pharmacies.
