Is randomly stopping civilians to do drug tests illegal? (incident in Malaysia)?

I think it is better this way,do you want your son to get caught having drugs?This is just helping the investigation to catch the drug dealer and the people above.If they caught the drug addict,they'll get to drug dealer and the rest.Malaysia is trying to bust all of drug,but some crazy making money still selling them.I feel a bit disappointed in those people. Anyway,you shouldn't feel humiliated,you are helping the investigation,although nothing has came out from it.well done!

haha, not for ephedrine.\nThe military does tests for \nCAT H- \nCocaine\nAmphtamines, like MDMA\nTHC-canibus\nH-heroin\nThe last one was added to the list because of the abundance of opiates in afghanistan.\nThere are also 10 other random tests that urine specimen goes through.\nEphedrine has caused the military numerous deaths.  It is not recommended for soldiers to take diet pills and energy supplements containing it.  They do not test for it though.

Yep - in my state they test at EVERY meeting for a drug or DUI offense. So don't be a dummy - stay off the sauce.

In California, the employing agency can request a drug test if they have a reasonable suspicion of drug use.  \n\nOfficers involved in deadly force incidents are generally asked to submit to a drug test.\n\nEmployers can ask employees to submit to a test as a condition of an assignment.  An officer wishing to work in, or continuing to work in, a narcotics task force, might well be asked to submit to a test before the assignment or at any time during the assignment.  An officer who refuses, in the absence of some kind of reasonable suspicion, will likely be denied the assignment or removed from it if already there.\n\nScheduling some kind of testing is most likely an arrangement to decided upon during negotiations with the employer.  Most agencies don't...in fact, I don't think I know of any who do.

I don't know who exactly...but it;s not like pot is banned world wide. There are other countries that sell it, tax it or just don't care and those countries are probably the ones that started testing it's effects on there citizens.

Yes, they can and do if they feel it is justified.  I did it once, but only as supporting evidence for the case where a defendant tried to say it was his cousin’s weed and he never touched the stuff.  At the time, I was a very young officer and didn’t even have any test kits in my car.  Fortunately, the Sgt was there and he DID have test kits in his car.  It was the defendant’s car and there was residue in the ash tray.  This was enough to convince the defendant to have a talk with the DA and the Judge before we actually stepped into court.  He decided community service was a very good option. \n\nJust remember, as soon as you think they won’t, they will.  Besides, if the pot is making you paranoid, also remember…..   we’re watching you.   m(*u*)m

It's illegal.\n\nPeople who casually break the law purely for their own pleasure are poor citizens.

Depends.  First, did the police have a search warrant? If not, did someone give them permission to search? (a roommate or family member, for example).  Was the substance viewable from outside (e.g. through an open door or window that was open)?  \n\nIf you have a little money, you should retain an attorney.  It will give you some piece of mind, and he/she may be able to help before any problems arise.

Contact your school board for a regulation book.\n\nIf it says in there that they can drug test a child without parental consent then call your local attorney and check with them that it is legal.

No, that would be illegal. You are in a public access place why would people want to risk that?

Yes, it's still legal.\n\nAll that a cop needs is reasonable suspicion to stop a vehicle. \n\nArticulable facts concerning contraband can also permit a stop, without a traffic infraction.\n\nIt's also written into the legislation that they can stop to check for driver's licences and random breath tests. They don't even have to see you do anything wrong, and they can quite literaly pick people out at random if they choose to.\n\nThe fact that he found an illegal substance and beer in your car will DEFINITELY NOT sit well w/ the judge at your hearing in court...

I'm sure if there are laws about notification time they will differ depending on the state in which you live.  If you're worried about having enough time to eradicate your drug of choice from your system, I would say that it won't matter whether you have notification or not.\n\nMost companies that pre-screen potential employees will also have random drug tests during time of employment.  In other words, if you're taking drugs, the likelihood that you'll face a random drug test in the future is great!\n\nEither find an employer who does not test for drugs before or during employment or stop taking them.

Katie was observed on camera ingesting "something" which is widely believed to be an illegale drug.  However,  that "something" was never identified legally and therefore she can't be prosecuted because it's widely believed to be drugs.  It also happens with other drug users but no one cares because they're not in the public eye.

In CA , if the police officer can develop probable cause, he can search your car. This was put in place due to the mobility of vehicles. They can simply drive away before you can get a search warrant.\n\nThe simplest example is the smell of pot. If the officer smells it, he can search anywhere in the car where the pot might be. Anywhere. \n\nAnother example is the plain sight rule. If the officer sees contraband in plain sight he can seize it and search your car for more. Anything else reasonably found during the search is also legally obtained.\n\nI don't know where the other posters got their information, but whether or not you are a minor has no bearing.\n\nAs for the cocaine issue, what crime did the driver get charged with? What are you talking about? If a passenger has drugs on them, it is possible that the driver could be charged for transportation of drugs. As for claiming they didn't know about the drugs, would it surprise you to know that people lie to the police??
