The Spanish Inquisition charged procedural costs for their ... administrations. Usually on the subject's family, because of high mortality rate. Terry Gilliam has even said that this particular practice was one of the big drivers for doing Brazil in the first place.
Modern governments have learned from the history, and chosen to repeat it.
Yes. IF an officer accuses you of having controlled substances inside your body you'll be dragged to a hospital, which will perform the search, and then send you the bill. It doesn't matter that nothing was found and it was performed against your will at the behest of the government.
In USA I wonder how they forced you to enter contract with medical provider. A letter to debt collector to 'validate alleged debt and show me the signed contract' could be interesting.
I did that exact thing and they sent back a rejection of the dispute along with shitty screenshot of me listed as "guarantor" of ICE's health service corps lol. Obviously I refused to sign anything. I have no idea how the collectors even found me as I had no valid contact information as the feds put their own address as mine.
FDCPA has provisions for a letter with specific words to make them stop contacting you. They will likely ignore that, so consider if you would then sue for damages.
Most States have a 'declaratory judgment' law in which an issue is brought to court and decided. You could force them to prove a contract in a court. They will probably not show up. Or they could show up and you could get corrupt judge and lose.
