School Drug Question

[Buckshot]

^ But they can suspend you..and in some schools , expell you.

Refusing to take a drug test is automatically saying you're guilty basically.

tell your school you will take it after every member of staff has taken 1 aswell,ill put money that atleast 1 will refuse,the whole british police force threatened to strike if they had to give these test's. hmmmm wonder what they have to hide.all police force's around the world are just goverment sponsored gangsters.

Actually, if you're under 18 schools are notoriously "Constitution-Free Zones." There are a lot of unconstitutional things that go down in schools.

For example, EVERYONE is protected by the fourth amendment. It protects you and your posessions from search or seizure without warrant AFFIRMED by a lawful court.

On that note, at my old high school they would instantly suspend you for not consenting to a drug test. A security gaurd once plucked a student's hair without him knowing it and had the sample tested. When they tried to expell him for drug use his father threatened to sue the school for tampering with medical records (or something along those lines). Both parties dropped their respective sides of the case IIRC.

Congress passed laws long ago allowing warrantless seaches on School Property. Schools are DRUG/WEAPONS Free Zones..not Constitutional Free.

And yes, Schools can search your person on school campus...THEY CANT FORCE YOU TO TAKE A PISS TEST...They can however suspend you if you refuse.

duhrickjames had it right.

Schools are more like prisons now.

Just get clean and stay clean. Expect to have to take a drug test. Even if you don't, you just saved money from not smoking for a few weeks. Heh.

If your parents are willing to back you up, then tell the school to FUCK OFF if they ask for a drug test. But, only if your folks are gonna back you up. Or you can retain an attorney that you pay for yourself.

good luck!

thats becuase you an e-tard

[chillsmoker]

no WAY they can force u to take a test. They have to bring in a cop, because he has the authority to do it. We just had a big debate today about this shit then got the facts.

It is a state to state issue. This year, my senior year thankfully, they implemented full student drug testing for everyone in sports and extra-curricular activities. Usually, if you belong to anything associated to the school name, even if its just the dang Academic Spelling Group, they can test you if they think you are doing drugs. If you don't belong to anything, no sports or activities, they have to have reasonable cause. Like someone said before, that can just be one of your teachers saying that you sleep too much in class and they want you tested, or someone saying you smell like pot etc etc. Thats reasonable cause to give you a drug test.

The only way you could probably get out of it is if your parent raised hell about it.
