The State Government Medical Marijuana Licensing Authority was granted the ability to make guidelines by the Colorado Medical Marijuana Code which went into effect on July 1, 2010. The new rules state that “Surveillance recordings and clear still photos must be made available to the Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division and law enforcement upon an administrative or law enforcement request demonstrating that the information sought is relevant and material to a legitimate regulatory or law enforcement inquiry.”

There is no definition of the word “legitimate”, so this would probably require medical marijuana centers to give patient surveillance recordings to the Department of Revenue or any other law enforcement agency on demand, unless the medical marijuana center was willing to go to court to challenge the “legitimacy” of the request.
