They don't unless you consent. Here's how it goes, they get calls and that is just allegations against you. They will ask you to take a drug test, refuse it, especially if you will not pass. Refusing a dt will not cause them to take your child, Im a parent and can assure you this information is correct. I have had plenty of calls on me from my mans x-girlfriend and everytime they close the case b/c i refused the test. If you take the test and you are dirty you are just proving their allegations correct. With no proof they have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. So DONT DO IT OK.
Yes. Because CPS is a government program. Government social workers are allowed to drug test their patients without a court order. An individual social worker cannot unless you have agreed to either take the drug test or you have signed a document saying you give them permission to administer a DT to you.
yes they can because they have to follow all leads for the case even if the parents have no drug history
In 2002 the Ohio supreme court ruled that drug testing a injured worker was unconstitutional.
If there is a reason for a drug test, yes, the court will request a drug test.
If the crime carries a felony punishment, your case will go to federal court. The amount of drugs you have on your person will determine if it is a felony or not.
Depending on the laws of your state, CPS may not even need to get a court order to administer a drug test to their clients. That authorization may already be written into the mandate of their agency. They can exercise the power anytime the case officer has reason to believe that the client may be under the influence of narcotics.
The DHR can ask for a drug test, but you do not have to comply without a court order. If you refuse to comply, they will most likely go before a judge and get an order. Tests are usually requested when allegations are made or there is a history of drug abuse.
Same as any other case, court ordered release. You are free to go.
Drug court is a type of judicial docket system that deals with non violent substance abusers. They have rules because the offenders who attend drug court, must follow them in order to get clean and sober, as well as prevent themselves from going to jail.
In most cases it is not n admission of guilt but it is a clear warning to a DCF worker that you will not cooperate and require further investigation. That investigation may include but not be limited to a court order to obtain a drug test at a moments notice without your consent. This will be initiated upon the recommendation of the DCF worker you decided to be uncooperative with.
No.
Legally no they can't, not without an order from the court; in practice however they do it all the time and you have to seek a court order to stop them.
No, but there's about a 99.9% chance they will go to court and get an order to compel you to test with an accompanying trip to the nearest jail.
