barraquilla Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 first stop drinking so much water. thc is stored in fat, water doesn't help as much as you think it does. maybe try drinking more just before the test, not for a whole week prior.1 week would be plenty of time if you didn't have such a long history of smoking. i know someone who swears by cranberry juice, doubt it works, but maybe you could try drinking a glass of that.i hope you do pass, drug testing is an incredible invasion of privacy. perhaps also consider stopping smoking until you finish probation. good luck.

bumpdaddy Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 it's kinda stupid to be smoking while on probation... but i'd definately say to forget all the "home remedies". For purposes of probation tests dilution still works for the most part...the use cheap test strips in most places. At the very least you'll be re-tested... by the time they get around to it.. you'll probably be clean. The other thing you should keep in mind is to never ever admit to anything since they dont always test the sample. Sometimes they use the threat of being tested to get you to admit to something before you test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bua420 Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 I smoke every day and Have never had a problem taking a drug test. Go to the health store and just tell the guy at the counter that you have to take a pee test that you need a flush kit. As long as you know the time of your drug test you will be fine. Most flush kits give you a 3-4 hour window when you will pee clean. The last two times I had to go for a test I smoked the night before and I past it no sweatGood luck!

If he/she doesn't, using illegal drugs was their choice and they will most certainly be punished for "violating probation" accordingly. doesn't mean it's a good thing, its simply the way it is and allowed to be...

I was always curious.....if CEO of Halliburton can plea the 5th - why can't we all plea the 5th when it comes to drug screening?Is it like self-incrimination?

barraquilla Posted November 24 Report Share Posted November 24 it would be self-incrimination. although, as a private citizen w/ full civil rights you can refuse a drug test. however, that doesn't mean you won't be fired or not offered employment as a result. maybe someone who knows more about civil rights could clarify, but you can read more about workplace drug testing here http://archive.aclu.org/library/pbr5.htmlParolees or those on probation have very few rights and any refusal (searches, drug testing, etc.) could lead back to prison. basically, they fail the test and face prison or refuse the test and face prison.

How do you not believe in the notion of outstanding citizen? Obviuosly, someone who is on parole is not of as high standing as a say, a judge. Sorry, it 's just how society works. an ex-con just doesn't have the same weight as say - an ex-president. When you break the law and are on probation, your rights are gone - and they should be. If you continue to break the law - you go to jail. Using drugs is illegal. If you are on probabtion - the law has plenty of good reasons to do drug screening. lalalalost - sorry for calling you a retard. But maybe you should lay off the drugs while you are on probation. You obviously have a problem with drugs since you can't even stay clean while on probation. What, did you really think you were going to be different and not get drug tested? get some help.

PCR Posted November 24 Report Share Posted November 24 ...... Sorry, it 's just how society works. an ex-con just doesn't have the same weight as say - an ex-president. ....I'd be the Devil's advocate and say that I know kids who got into troubles with the law though I know them well enough to say that they are good, decent people. At the same time there are presidents, ex-presidents, CEOs and other high level officials who should spent the rest of their lives behind the bars. They have done much more damage to this country and the society than many of the drug-users now behind the bars.Only because something is acceptable by the society at large doesn't mean it is morally or ethically right. barraquilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barraquilla Posted November 24 Report Share Posted November 24 How do you not believe in the notion of outstanding citizen? i just don't and feel no need to explain any further. Obviuosly, someone who is on parole is not of as high standing as a say, a judge. Sorry, it 's just how society works. an ex-con just doesn't have the same weight as say - an ex-president. which judge? one of the myriad in history who have been convicted of crimes they committed while they judged others?which ex-president? Andrew Johnson? Richard Nixon?if you think someone's place in society makes them a better person, fine. but, i disagree. so what? it's my opinion. not all of those who have been convicted of crimes are guilty and not all who are known as "good" or "upstanding" citizen's are innocent. When you break the law and are on probation, your rights are gone - and they should be. "well, that's just like your opinion, man" ~the dude~ If you continue to break the law - you go to jail. Using drugs is illegal. If you are on probabtion - the law has plenty of good reasons to do drug screening. that is the currently accepted policy. does that mean i have to agree with it? no.

babystewie Posted November 25 Report Share Posted November 25 it would be self-incrimination. although, as a private citizen w/ full civil rights you can refuse a drug test..... maybe someone who knows more about civil rights could clarifyOkay somebody called?well I hate to be the bearer of bad new but,YOUR RIGHTS JUST GOT ASSRAPED!***********************************http://writ.news.findlaw.com/colb/20041117.htmlAt the end of last month, in the case of Coddington v. Evanko, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that police officers may constitutionally shave large amounts of hair from a suspect's head, neck, and shoulders, without a warrant, probable cause, or any basis for suspecting that the hair would provide evidence of crime. The Fourth Amendment guarantees the people the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. But according to the court, the Fourth Amendment does not apply to hair removal.In so ruling, the Third Circuit followed its own 1982 precedent, In re Grand Jury Proceedings (Appeal of Mills), which held that taking hair samples from visible parts of a suspect's body does not invade any reasonable expectation of privacy. Such investigation therefore does not qualify as a Fourth Amendment "search."The court in Coddington did not specifically address the question of whether shaving a large amount of hair from a suspect might constitute an unconstitutional "seizure." But it did reaffirm what it understood to be the holding of Mills: "that the taking of hair is not subject to restrictions imposed by the Fourth Amendment." Since the Fourth Amendment governs seizures as well as searches, it follows that there is no right under any part of the Fourth Amendment to be secure from police unreasonably shaving large amounts of hair from the visible parts of one's body.This ruling is wrong as a matter of logic. It also misinterprets the constitutional right of the people to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures.< snip > make no mistake. Under the Third Circuit's approach, the police can shave the hair of anyone who appears in public at any time. They do not need to have any reason whatsoever < snip > barraquilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been following this case and the ruling is non precidential. Meaning that it is a ruling that applies only to this specific case and can not be used to set a precident for future cases... the decision does not change the 4th ammendment in any way.... unlike the patriot act, which has basicly shredded the constitution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babystewie Posted November 26 Report Share Posted November 26 Yep the exact same report I`ve read, but taking of hairon public display does not "bend" the Fourth Amendment?That is a start to a slippery slope and who knows where it will end. **************************In Mills, we instructed that the key question in addressing whether thetaking of a hair sample was a “search†under the Fourth Amendment was whether “thecompulsion to produce facial and scalp hair samples . . . is more akin to fingerprintingand voice and handwriting exemplars which have been held outside the ambit of FourthAmendment protection or whether it is more closely aligned with the extraction of bloodsamples or fingernail scrapings which have been subjected to Fourth Amendment analysisas to reasonableness.†Id. at 139. We resolved this question with the following holding:We conclude that there is no greater expectation of privacywith respect to hair which is on public display than withrespect to voice, handwriting or fingerprints. In the case ofblood samples and fingernail scrapings, the bodily seizurerequires production of evidence below the body surface whichis not subject to public view. In the case of facial and headhair, as well as fingerprints, voice and handwriting exemplars,the evidence is on public view.Id. Mills’ holding is clear that the taking of hair is not subject to restrictions imposed bythe Fourth Amendment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mills’ holding is clear that the taking of hair is not subject to restrictions imposed bythe Fourth Amendment.Personally I think this ruling is completely ridiculous and theres no way it will stand. While hair is in plain site, the metabolites in the hair are not... also the appearance of the hair cannot in any way be considered probable cause to collect evidence. If however a person appears intoxicated than obviously there is probable cause. I think that's where the problem is... a perfectly sober person can appear to be intoxiicated if that's what you want to believe.... Cops have used this as "probable cause" in the past and will continue to do it... It's all very subjective as you can see. I dont see how this paves the way for random "hair cutting" on the street. Cops have always been given alot of freedom in their "interpretations of probable cause" by the courts. All of that "innocent untill proven guilty" talk is nonsense ... in reality if you're accused of a crime and you have no evidence or witnesses or some means to refute the prosecutor's accusations and evidence... then chances are, you're going to jail. Bear in mind that in a court of law the first story a jury hears is the prosecutor's... everything the defense attorney does is in response to the prosecution. Most jurors believe what the prosecution says unless there's evidence that compells them think otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
