Re: urine testing parameters
A urine test is a search. They must have reasonable cause before requiring such a search. Unless, you have a search clause as part of your probation. The solution for the court will be to order it on all work crew referrals, which opens up a bigger can of worms, because the condition has to be reasonably related to the offense as originally charged. You know us lawyers, there is never a simple answer, but that the best I can do for you.
