5 imprisoned over inaccurate drug test

One of the most widely forgotten facts about the botched War on Drugs is that drug tests are often inaccurate. By some estimates, these tests are wrong nearly one-third of the time.

In San Antonio, Texas, 5 former probationers are suing because they were imprisoned over the false result of a urine test.

Apparently, one of the plaintiffs was a college student who was forced to miss midterm exams and the entire semester after being sent to jail over the false positive reading.

With this in mind, I'd be hesitant to subject myself to a drug test - especially if a false positive result meant I'd lose my job or go to jail.
