Michigan law allows roadside drug testing
This petition is to put a stop to the drug testing of people operating motor vechicles that swerve or weave or sway. There is already a law to stop and test people for alcohol and the additional testing would be a violation of our civil rights. Where does this invasive harrasment end. This is not a fascist country and we have had to many of our civil liberties evoked. This has to end now. It's another way to harass black people and it's wrong. Testing for drunk driving is already in place and that's enough .
Why is this important?
This petition is to put an end to the road side drug testing of motorists. This is a pilot program for 5 counties in Michigan and the state police have not named the counties involved. This testing started 7/13/16 and it will run a year. If somebody is swerving and weaving they already have sobriety testing in place. This is just another attempt to harass motorist and another spin on driving while black. It is a violation of our constitutional rights to be drug tested on the side of the road for weed, cocaine and heroin. Please help put a stop to this harassment .
