How to Do Drug Tests on Parole if You Can't Pee When People are Watching
My question involves criminal law for the state of: South Carolina
I will (hopefully) be getting probation next Thursday. My question is this: Is everyone on probation in SC required to do drug tests, even if their crime wasn't drug related? Also, I can't go in front of other people!!! I'm 28 and I've been that way since I was a small child. I try and try and try and nothing happens. Is there anything I can do? Can I get blood tests instead of urine tests? Can I have the probation officer do a strip search to guarantee I'm not tampering with my sample, and then pee in private? If I can't provide a sample they'll get me on a probation violation and I'll go to prison, which is exactly where I DON'T want to be. PLEASE tell me if there's anything I can do. I'm honestly more worried about this than I am about the sentencing hearing!
Re: Can't Use Bathroom with Others Watching
That is up to your PO if he will search you, take blood or something else.
I suggest drinking plenty of water an hour or two before your visit. What do you do at a ballgame/event when there are 20 guys in the bathroom with you?

I can do it when there are lots of guys I just can't do it if it's just me and one other guy or if I know the guy is watching. It's really embarrassing I know this is a stupid thing but I just can't do it. I'll try drinking a lot of water and hopefully that will help. I think part of it is also having noise from lots of people in there, so maybe if I run some water it will help. I really don't know.

Drink too much water and it can dilute the sample.

There may be no facet to run water from in the room. Mainly there would just be a toilet bowl with blue die in the water.

I think I'll have to ask about a blood test then... I mean I'll try to do it but if I can't that's the only other option I can think of.
Re: Can't Use Bathroom with Others Watching
The PO near me used to just use the regular bathroom. There was a line you were supposed to toe in the stall, but unless the PO thought you were cheating they usually let you alone.
You can always try an intermittent catheter :)

I don't think they will do a blood test because the cost and then they need to wait for the results. A urine test is cheaper and will give an instant test result.
If you really have a disorder that stops you from using the bathroom, then I would get some type of documentation from a doctor or a psychologist to back your claim up.

You are assuming. You know what happens when people assume?

Maybe wait until you are actually on probation before you worry about this. Then you tell the PO about our "issue." If it's not medical and you have not medical proof of it though I don't see any other options. You'll just be there til you can pee I guess. But first see if you even get on probation.
