Can a probation officer give you a drug test?



    




VICTOR H
yes....and anyone who will use drugs on probation, deserves to go to jail.

I thought drug tests were one of their more common functions. Your probation officer has more authority over you (their probationer) than the police do. A probation officer can also search your place whenever they want, check it's probably a term of your probation. They also do spot checks in bars to make sure none of their probationers are in there drinking (also a term of probation).

yes they can,they are members of the court.if you get a positive result you have the right to have the sample sent to a lab to be retested but you have to pay for it to be done.

It is within the purview of a probation officer to order a drug test.

If it is a condition of the probation order

Yes they can. When I was on 2 years probation at age 16,
I had to do a drug test every 6 months.

No, only a doctor can give you a drug test, and there must be good grounds for asking for one. You can refuse unless it is ordered by the police, and they must have good reason as well.

I don't think that he can personally give you one, but he can order you to have one and follow you to the hospital or where ever to ensure that it is performed.
