A number of agencies, state and federal, have an "Office of Civil Rights," but I'm not sure what civil right would be involved. Releasing medical info to members of the public as alleged appears more of a criminal act subject to investigation/prosecution but the county DA or the state AG's offices.

HHS Civil Rights. Sorry--I should have clarified that.

Is there a statute supporting that? My understanding is that handling of health information is entirely in civil law.

HIPAA is not the only law covering the release of prohibited (non-public) records. HIPAA is federal. State law appears more at issue, particularly device access. Some prosecutor's offices will pursue; others, not so much.

The statute AG's office can bring civil action against the individual. County DA's don't have jurisdiction.
Also please provide some reference to "device access laws" you keep talking about unless you are pulling that out of your ass.

Since you don't "make lawyer money," I have my doubts as to your understanding of anything I post.

Anytime you wanna prove me wrong with statutory references I am willing to listen. Otherwise I assume everything you say I assume is to tickle the feels before reals per of your brain.

When you go into a courtroom, do you confuse mens rea with diarrhea?

You don’t even know the difference between criminal and civil jurisdiction.
