Arraignment Drug Screen

Is it customary to submit to drug screens at arraignment? I was arrested for felony drug possession charges and am worried that the little drugs that I had in my system may still be there at arraignment.

Is it federal or state court? Some judges might require it for bail purposes.

I agree with Mr. Casanave, and would add that if you are a juvenile, you may be required to submit if you are being arraigned in Juvenile court.
