    Beyond the HIPAA violation. I don’t think a state can investigate another state but wtf do I know I’m not a lawyer just a logical human being.

      There is an actual section of the american constitution stating that a state cannot prosecute their citizen for something they legally did in another state

        The constitution is just more of a suggestion now days. The real definitions are decided by a bunch of corrupt geriatric fucks in the Supreme Court.
