Andy,
I agree with you completely. The clean pee thing is a condition of most pre-release in Maryland and the District of Columbia, and not just for drug charges. I had a client in Maryland that was charged with 4 counts of 2nd degree assault and a condition of his pre-release was drug testing. Same thing for a guy charged with assault and staulking in DC. A Civil Protection Order ("CPO")was also entered against the guy in DC and he had to continue through the pee tests until the end of the one year CPO.
Personally, I think a lot of the problems in this country stem from drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. Tobacco is obviously a health issue, but the other two cause violent crime issues.
