What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alabama in the county of Clarke. My nephew was arrested on a marajuna charge in 2005. He was given a drug test and it came up positive. Since that time he has to report, when ever called by the county, to come and give a urine sample for testing. Each time he is tested the county charges him around $500 for the test. His bill is aproaching $4,ooo. He cannot leave the county or state to get employment due to his having to report when called. Is it leagal for any county or state to charge someone convicted of a charge that amount of money knowing that the person is not able to pay the charge?
