Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
It was widely reported on Monday -- stemming from a TMZ claim -- that the Florida Highway Patrol was actively seeking a warrant to obtain Tiger Woods' medical records in order to determine if the golfer's injuries were "consistent with a car accident or domestic violence."The Florida Highway Patrol has, however, said in a release that those claims (appear) to be untrue:
"Mr. Woods' representatives have provided us with his driver's license information, vehicle registration and current proof of insurance, as required by Florida Law," a representative said via email.
"Contrary to various media reports, the Florida Highway Patrol has not made any comments regarding the details of the ongoing crash investigation involving Tiger Woods as it relates to medical information, or any other aspect of this investigation.
"The crash investigation is ongoing and charges are pending."
That does not serve to immediately clarify TMZ's report, of course. It would seem that the Highway Patrol is simply saying it hasn't commented on the issue of obtaining a warrant, which is something that's kind of implied by the notion of TMZ having a source inside the FHP in the first place.
But it also underscores the importance of how law enforcement plans on handling this. Read: carefully. Tiger has won lawsuits related to his privacy before, and while there's nothing wrong with the Highway Patrol doing its due diligence, it certainly does not want cross any potential legal or ethical lines in the investigation by following leads that would jump to unnecessary conclusions.
