DrugWipe Roadside Drug Testing Technology used in Australia
San Diego DUI criminal defense attorney news
Roadside drug testing? The device used in Australia is called DrugWipe, from a German co called Securetec. DrugWipes can be set up for 1, 2 or 5 tests: THC (not metabolites), methamphetamine (usually also gets MDMA), opiates, benzodiazepines and cocaine.
The test device they are using here is the THC/MET combination. Too many legal opiates and benzos here, relatively low cocaine use due to expense and distance from South America.
Reading between the lines, the drug tests are so expensive that they are not really random. The cops seem to be targeting rave parties and long-distance trucking routes.
