Drug testing during probation
my boyfriend just found out that he will be on felony probation as of december 22. he is confused as to when he will be drug tested for the first time, and if his test does come up dirty before he is sentenced, will that be concidered a probation violation?
Re: Drug testing during probation
He will be tested when his probation officer asks for him to submit to testing, so it's best that he stop using.
Re: Drug testing during probation
so potentially he could be tested the same day he is sentenced?

Probably, not potentially. If the terms of probation include random drug screening, that means the drug screening can be done randomly anytime beginning with the date of sentencing.
Re: Drug testing during probation
how will he know what the terms of his probation are until he is sentenced? i think i am confused. so basically, even though he doesnt yet know the terms of his probation, he will probably be tested on the day of sentencing?
he was charged with evasion, having nothing to do with drugs, is drug testing usually a part of probation, even if the charge is unrelated to drugs?
Re: Drug testing during probation
One of the terms will be not breaking any laws. Using illegal drugs is, well, illegal.
Re: What state is this happening?
If a plea agreement was reached, was the issue of drug screening addressed in the probation terms? What state will be supervizing the probation?

This response does not answer the OP. The OP didn't ask for the opinion of Aaron, but that's what the OP got. OP won't be legally obligated to submit to any testing until the probation period begins.
Re: Drug testing during probation
Um... so you're saying that he won't have to submit to drug testing when his probation officer asks him to? That he should keep on using illegal drugs, anticipating that he won't be tested? Or... what?
Re: Drug testing during probation
After being talk to about opinions I will give one. He broke law and will be placed on probation yet he continues to break law by using illegal drugs!? Has he learned nothing? Instead of being worried testing why not worry about obeying the Law!? I has said this before and will stand by it, its difficult to reply to a post without injecting some form of opinion even if its an opinion of law! Now will he be tested who knows but he WILL be tested and while on probation can be asked to submit to testing at any given time! Best thing he can do is what he should be doing anyhow and thats STOP USING!!
