This observation further emphasises the massive discrepancies in stop / search etc too. POlicy makers are so far from considering themselves the demographic likely to be affected by these things - not because they aren't knee deep in marching powder, but because they know they'll never be targeted.
The police will absolutely never pull over a pink person with collar and cuffs driving a 3 ton Jag while they can hassle a brown lad in a Corsa... despite the fact that the Gieves and Hawkes guy is almost certainly constantly firing Plaster of Paris nose missiles. I'm open to correction but I have absolutely never heard of an inappropriate or unnecessary stop being afflicted on someone with a golf club membership despite the fact that these are precisely the people who have over cooked it at lunch, been doing lines all afternoon or prefer to drive to their country boozer rather than wait for a cab.
Also, what is the point of the test then?
Driving under the influence is dangerous (also with some legal prescription medication btw) to others and yourself.
Randomly drug testing people "because you used drugs recently" well, if you want to play that game, perhaps you need to randomly test everyone, grab an area and start testing people.
Oh wait, =that= won't go down very well (and would be hilarious if they did it in parliament/the city of London if rumors about drug use there are true) ...
