RS: Random Drug Testing Absurd

Since commercial truck drivers and Asotin County Family Aquatic Center employees submit to random drug testing, county commissioners say some of Asotin County Sheriff Ken Bancroft’s employees should as well. “I will continue in my opposition to any random urinalysis of any member of the Asotin County Sheriff’s Office,” Bancroft has written. “The fact is, random urinalysis is an illegal search.” The sheriff’s wrong about that. Where it involves safeguarding the public, the courts have permitted random drug testing. An officer with a drinking problem isn’t all that unusual. Neither is the one who gets hurt badly on the job and develops a dependence on prescription pain-killers/ Randy Stapilus , Lewiston Tribune. More here .
