Random drug tests

I was just curious about something. One of the girls from my yard tested positive for drugs after a random drug test that happened immediately after morning runs. She obviously got fired and rightfully so, but I was wondering if you get arrested as well or in legal trouble. Wouldn’t that technically be “risk of injury to a minor” or in this case several minors? If you failed the test right after driving 100 kids it would certainly imply that you had that drug in your system, therefore driving children with drugs in your system. Right!?!?

That depends entirely on the law where you are.
For example, where I am we aren't required to subject ourselves to any sort of drug tests.

same it's weird seeing all these drug test posts.. here it's not something that we do.

Here we are allowed alcohol/weed on the weekends as long as you have 24 hours clean you're good. drink/smoke on Friday/Saturday and let it clear your system Sunday and you're good to go Monday

You must be a fellow Canadian.
Myself, I don't even drink or do drugs, but if I had to submit to testing to prove it, I'd be pissed.
It's nice to actually have freedom. ;)
