Q: Can I decline a drug test for court supervision if it was not a requirement from the court?
Illinois, court supervision, I was not court ordered to submit to random drug testing but I have recently received a letter demanding I come to take one or It would violate my court supervision. Had they asked nicely, I would have said sure. But due to the letter I am slightly offended. Can I decline the drug test without any legal problems? In the paperwork I received from court it had a list of terms with check marks next to them, the one that stated drug testing was not checked. The supervision had even acknowledged this in prior visits. I had called to reschedule an appointment to a sooner date because of a conflict with work schedule the officer said sure. Then I received the letter stating I had to show up for a drug test or it would violate my supervision.

A: if the court did not specifically order you to undergo drug testing as a condition of your court supervision and it is not listed in the terms outlined in your paperwork, you may have grounds to decline the drug test.
