What is the name of your state? California.
My son is on probation and his original crime did not involve drugs it was possession of stolen vehicle. Probation condition of weekly drug testing imposed. He failed a drug test given by P.O.- the simple kind with no cut off levels. They did not send it for second, confirmation test to a lab. Nor did they tell him he has 30 days to contest it and retest. He did take a retest at his court ordered drug treatment program though - same day - which was sent to a lab and it came back negative. They still violated him and he has been locked up ever since in juvenile hall - 5 MONTHS!
Please help - the judge will not even discuss the drug tests - what can we do
