I don't want kids doing drugs on the road and endangering my family

Show me where I said I want that? Show me where others said that? Nobody wants drunk or drugged drivers. That is not the issue. A new money wasting law with absolutly no effect is what has been discussed. Do you really think this law will change anything?

That IS respect for my rights.

Where does your right to force others to a drug screening come from? Why is your right to be comforted higher than the right of the teens not to have a drug screening?

Yes, SkyRat, I do. It will force kids who want drivers licenses to get off of drugs. Even more importantly, it will show kids semi-addicted to drugs that they can get off of them. Evem more importantly, it will show kids that we have certain expectations about right behavior before getting the coveted drivers license. Finally, some deaths and mutilations from car crashes from kids on drugs will be averted. That all sounds good to me.

It comes from people voting democratically for representatives who pass it into law, providing that such in not unconstitutional - just like every other law in this nation. Given that it's not unconsitutional (it isn't, according to the Supreme court), where does a teen have the right not to have a drug screening?
