A must read the book "Ur-ine Trouble" by Kent Holtorf, M.D. who is an expert witness on drug testing and he has never lost a case. The Legislators attempting to expand the bills to drug test all the students in school. No-way can enough prisons be built to put all these people in for failing a "Junk Science TEST for drugs"! Much less keeps all the Inmates in there who have failed "Junk Science TEST"! Be aware that at no time does the legislators vote the budget to see that drug testing is done properly are according to the laws.<BR/>http://peopleagainstprisonabuse.com/substanceabuse/drugtestingmenuindex.htmlPAPAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05778667657874134437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-30029189449144454462007-03-21T11:17:00.000-05:002007-03-21T11:17:00.000-05:00What a load of BS!

They are expensive and there are dip sticks that could be used to ascertain if there are foreign drugs in urine,i.e.as for diabetics. Someone is just in this for the money and if someone's life and freedom depend on these tests, then they should be accurate. These tests should be paid for by the State or figured in the parole fee paid. The old saying "Money talks and you know what walks." becomes more true in the medical field each day and frankly, I am at the point of getting out of medicine. I always said when a person comes in who needs help and the first question asked is what kind of insurance do you have and how are you going to pay for this, would be the time I got out. Well, we are at that point and I have had it.<BR/><BR/>God gave all of us a second chance by sending His only Son to suffer and die for our sins, not His but ours so we could even ask for forgiveness, now give others the chance the Lord gave to us. Stop this insane practice of everyone is guilty before a trial starts and stop ruining people's lives!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-65251914243079863492007-03-21T06:59:00.000-05:002007-03-21T06:59:00.000-05:00The manufacturer says that the tests are to be a s...The manufacturer says that the tests are to be a screening device only, a "flag" to determine whether or not further confirming testing is necessary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-13187205310616810032007-03-20T19:22:00.000-05:002007-03-20T19:22:00.000-05:00Its not just large counties like Bexar.

Even if they are confirmed they are only 99% or less accurate, and like the man said "most of the time isn't good enough". Probation officers and courts should never act on the basis of a UA alone.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902834245861000386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-40735082295270230092007-03-20T12:41:00.000-05:002007-03-20T12:41:00.000-05:00Probationers in Texas are routinely charged for ur...Probationers in Texas are routinely charged for urinalysis. <BR/><BR/>Even if confirmation tests are expensive, indigent citizens with inaccurate State results should consider them The cost of Probation fees, restitution, time lost in probation meetings versus the cost of an accurate test may prove to be a savings.<BR/><BR/>Indigent Defense Lawyers take notice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
