Question 7816
Can you be given a test to detect drug use at a traffic checkpoint?
- No, because there are no tests to detect drug use.
- Yes, under the same conditions as tests to detect alcohol use.
- No, if you show no signs of having used drugs.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, under the same conditions as tests to detect alcohol use.
Yes. Officers may require you to take a drug test in the same circumstances as an alcohol test, including at a preventive checkpoint, even if you show no signs of drug use. This test does exist and uses saliva and an approved device.
