It's one of my hose pesky phrases in the constitution. Searches and seizures must be conducted under a warrant and warrants can only be served if there is probable cause.It's a job and they may have good reason to do it like the private sector does. I don't know what you mean by unsecured medical records. If you are a building inspector they are paying you to drive around so they have skin in the game.Do you think drug testing by a government agency on their employees is unreasonable search and seizure?Not a good analogy. The county has the right to make you leave your gun in the car or even at home. It's the government doing the drug testing but it's for a job. They may have a good reason, like someone doing something dopey and costing the citizens a bundle. Or it may be a factor for health or liability insurance.Why are so many folks willing to roll over on the Fourth Amendment but fight tooth and nail for the Second?
Aren't rights rights and equally sacrosanct?
It isn't like the government is random testing citizens, that would be an issue.
If they issued a warrant and showed probable cause, I would gladly comply.
But I don't want my medical records unsecured. I don't want my body searched without cause. I value privacy.
Freedom isn't free. Protecting freedoms is not the exclusive province of the Department of Defense. I believe every citizen must fight for their freedoms whenever they are threatened.
Where is the probable cause?
Particularly when it's "mandatory" as a condition of employment?
Why would an employer need 'probable cause' to give you a drug test?
