Can you say over zealous cops??

Interesting that the lying bastard POS cop was a former preacher. 80 positive drug busts in one year.  He should go to prison for the rest of his life, be housed in the general population and be introduced as a former cop. I guess that in the meantime, if you have to go out to do laundry, take liquid detergent. God should be more careful about who he allows to work for him--ha ha.

big hypocrite.

I went to high school with a kid whose dad was a preacher. His parents had separate bed rooms, and his dad at least had a girl friend.

Dr. Bronner's Soap

I wouldn't carry liquid detergent if I were worried about the field tests.

If you google Dr. Bronner's Soap and drug test, you'll find out that, at least since 2007 or so, they are trying to make the police stop using their field tests because, according to Dr. Bronner's manufacturer, "the field test is *much* better at detecting soap/detergent than actual drugs".

A ton of people ended up having to explain why their babies "tested positive" for drug use when all they were using was Aveno lotion or some soap or another.

Our law enforcement branches don't care that they have been illegally jailing innocent people, as long as their report can claim they arrested a bunch of people.

I'm hoping that having to pay a lot of money to people they unjustly jail will end up fixing the problem.

Drug tests

Main reason I declined taking "voluntery" drug tests during several police stops.

Their false positive rate when used correctly is about 5% IIRC.
Significantly higher when used incorrectly.
