ACLU Florida has filed a lawsuit against Gov. Rick Scott over his executive order to force drug testing on state employees. The suit argues that Scott's order is an unreasonable search of the government that violates the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.The ACLU maintains that the mandatory random drug testing Scott has ordered on about 100,000 workers is only allowed under special circumstances, such as workers who carry firearms or railroad workers involved in accidents.
I urge all medical professionals involved in federal workplace drug testing procedures to await the outcome of this lawsuit BEFORE deciding on their participation in the proposed state wide drug testing for state employees.
