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.
