Chicago DUI lawyer comments on random drug testing of teenagers going to take their driving test

This Chicago DUI lawyer isn't surprised, but you better warn Junior when he goes to get his driver's license he may get tested for drugs if he is under eighteen.

Your state legislators hard at work:
625 ILCS 5/6-107.1

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that the Secretary of State may conduct random drug testing of applicants for instruction permits who are under the age of 18. Provides that the Secretary may not issue a permit to an applicant who tested positive for the presence of any controlled substance or cannabis. Provides that a person who tests positive for any controlled substance or cannabis must be found to be free of controlled substances and cannabis before he or she may receive an instruction permit. Provides that the Secretary of State shall adopt rules for implementing the new provision and shall prescribe an additional fee, to be added to the fees charged for the issuance of a first-time driver's license, to cover the cost of the testing.

Hmmm, I wonder why you would only test those under 18? Why not test everyone? Anyone else think there may possibly be different treatment amongst different applicants based on race or gender, in addition to age?
