in cali you have to give dna just for being charged with a crime.they took my dna for dv . the case was dropped but they got my dnaYes, go after the poor people! Make sure they use the measly few dollars they get on food. While big corporations who make billions in profit get tax refund checks worth millions.
Has anybody actually read the fine print on this law? If so then you'd realize it's just a sham. The state isn't going to save one single penny. If a person tests psotive then the cash bennies can be allotted to someone else close to the family.
This is just how our government wants us; fighting over pittance while the government slowly infringes on our rights as individuals.
Case in point;
I remember when the state of NJ enacted "meagans law", where all sex offenders had to register and give DNA. Yeah, great idea. Right?
Well now in NJ you have to give your DNA for ANY violent crime committed. And next up is that they're trying to make it so anyone convicted of a felony has to register. Where does it end?
So to all those who think this is a great idea, it will only be a matter of time until they come up with a way of piss testing everyone and taking something away from everyone...
Give them an inch and they will soon take it ALL
This was a post typed earlier and their was so much WRONG with it I had to comment.(I don't know how to put the "comment" up in italics and in green but had to cut and paste it in this quick reply.) Here it goes................. It all is a matter of perception. Which side of the fence are you on? You work, scotts not so bad, you do not work scotts a bum. Shit, taxes go up, welfare and unemployment goes up and Scott is the bad guy? He was elected on these promises. He said he was going to do it, along with having public (re: govt) workers contribute to their own retirement. They dont like that either, and there is more to come. Drug testing for people who should be spending what little money they have on necessities for themselves and their children, not drugs, seems, to me, just. You do realize that the money is YOUR tax money. the unemployment mess was created by the Fed Gvt and thier corruption of the free market. Fanny & Freddy and the like. Paying for oversite that never happens. Not the states govenors. Some have gotten too happy with the 'free lunch'. My reply ......I work and I and any thinking American SHOULD think Scotts an ASSHOLE. He's clearly violating these peoples rights. A violation of the right to privacy, a violation of a search without a warrant, and their being accused of a crime without ANY SUSPICION , OR even the hint of guilt. NO snook i disagree we cant let people be drug tested all "willie nillie" , what's next? Drug test social security recipients ? ALL those disabled people on MEDICAL MARIJUANA?(and retirees)Do you really want to go there?(100's of 1000's of people HOMELESS and without means of support, OVERNIGHT!) Remember it IS against federal law.Its not just a "people with jobs" "people without jobs" type of thing, It's a matter of the government being at war with their own people. And anyway Scott or the Governor before him already TRIED this, I've read about it, they DRUG TESTED 54,000 welfare recipients(Like these people are driving BMW's and stocking away swiss bank accounts?) and I can't remember exactly but it was either 43 or 23 people showed up hot for illegal drugs, so you can see these programs are dismal failures to say the least. And If I remember my reading ,something about his wife owning the major drug testing labs in FLA. or if not his wife, a major funding buddy or friend. NO SNOOK this has STINK written all over it weather you work or not, and the state NOT ONLY WONT save money but it will COST the state money in the long run(tax payers , not scott),paying for all those drug tests (that the vast majority show up clean), the only one who will make out on this whole deal is the DRUG TESTING LABS. ...............thanx , murray PS if this has snooks message in here twice forgive me I"m just learning.
Say it isn't so!!! I'm shocked simply shock...... Naw not really. Test the testers and the state workers. Randomly and often. Terminate on the first sign. That would actually do some good
