Did you see the story about the 72 year old guy who was arrested last
week at a checkpoint in the cape?
He blew a 0.0 and they still insisted he was intoxicated and took urine.
The cop said it came back positive for a drug the guy says he wasn't
taking based on a test strip. Too bad, off you go. They are still
waiting for the lab report. The Cape Chief was interviewed in the snooze
press and he was asked, what if the urine test is really indicating
something you took days ago. He said too bad, if the cop thinks you are
intoxicated you are guilty.

Interesting. I saw the original story but not the follow up. I met
Petrovich once and he seemed like a reasonable guy. Maybe not.
Something is definitely wrong with that whole incident and I hope it
gets adjudicated in an intelligent manner.

It's not an isolated case. Here's a similar case from 1997.
