@ Stupid Ruling….I have NO problem being tested, what I object to is those who are making the laws exempting themselves from it. As a side note, those tests cost $$$$ and all the braying about taxpayer money paying the salary of these men and women is pure bunk! On a local level is is LESS THAN 4 cents a YEAR and and on the State level, less than a PENNY! So STFU and go get tested because either way, you are paying for it. State workers dont get TAX EXEMPTIONS with the job, so who exactly is profiting from these tests? Why Gov Scott’s wife is, thereby HE is and it is just wrong. If you carry a gun, are a first responder of any kind, test em all day as much as you like. The average secretary? Maint staff? Really?

People, People, People…..get a grip! Randomly drug testing state employees for no other reason than ‘the public sector is doing it’? Give me a break! This is clearly a 4th amendment violation, and I thank god that the federal judge in Miami had sense enough to knock it down!

You folks don’t seem to realize that you would be the ones paying for these drug tests with your tax dollars!

On a more personal note….it will be a cold day in h-ll before I pee in a cup, just to appease a governor who acts like a nazi……….just because he says so? I don’t think so! I’m one of those state workers…. I get excellent evaluations, and take pride in my work. I refuse to be treated like a common drug addict, just because the governor thinks we all should pee in a cup!

Also, head up people…..it’s already started in this state……I went to the doctors office, have been diagnosed with severe arthritis in the neck, shoulders, lower back, and knees. Yet I am still working full time, and in pain all the time. Why? Because my doctor refused to give me pain medicine, unless I’m willing to pee in a cup every 3 months. When I asked her what for, she replied, ” Because Florida law states that if we give out pain pills on a regular basis, that we have to drug test you for ‘illegal’ drugs, and to ensure that you are taking the medicine as prescribed. Well, needless to say, I declined the pain medication, because if I’m not willing to pee in a cup for the Governor, I’m sure as hell not going to do it because doctors are afraid of losing their license…..and that’s because of these stupid Florida laws, that are doing all of us more harm than good! Doctors are now afraid to give out medicine that was developed to help us live longer, and live without pain. But because of these stupid laws, doctors around here are afraid to do their jobs!

I’ll move out of the state, before I allow anyone to take away my 4th amendment right!

And for the record……as long as ANY employee doesn’t go to work ‘under the influence, or impaired’……as far as I’m concerned….what folks do in the privacy of their own homes……on their own time……IS NO ONE ELSES BUSINESS!!!!!!

PEACE!

What are these people hiding that they don’t want to take a simple drug test? It’s stupid, some people argue just to argue.

I work for a public agency and was tested as a condition to my employment and signed that I would submit if asked. Any person in a safty sensitive position is drug tested on a regular basis others when behaviors arise that are suspect. It works fine. The gov is just trying to please a few people. Is it true that the welfare testing is costing the state more than it is saving?

@Jay..hey, did you know that the judge in this case was appointed by then Gov BUSH? Yeah, I didnt think so. Its all politics with Scott and blaming Obama is NOT the solution. He doesnt function at “our” level and no POTUS ever has. So stop with the “I hate the POTUS so its all his fault” stuff because even YOU know it is nonsense!

And I prefer not to work with functional alchoholics. Why don’t you screen for that? Because you’d have to put 1/4 of ALL workers-public and private on rehab. BAC for functional alchoholics will show above .08 even when “not drinking”. Oh it’s a “legal” drug so that makes it ok to be a functional alchoholic? HYPOCRITES.

OK, as a NON state worker who is required by FEDERAL LAW to get drug tested, this judge is as full of sh$t as the rest of the Obummer administration

Poor Ricky has embarrassed himself again. Every time he decides to make a new “law” designed to put the screws to state workers, s Judge has to step in a slap his hand. Considering this guy made his living as a lawyer, you’d think he’d be a little more up on the law. Oh well. this is what you get when you put an idiot without ethics into a position of authority.

Drug testing is beyond dumb. You judge on job performance, thats all. Many workers obsess about their relationships during office hours or take tons of legal prescription drugs, etc or are obese and tire by 2 pm. Lots of things negatively affect work. So what if an employee smokes some pot on the weekends.

We all know the governor of our state SHOULD BE ALEX SINK.

Scott bought Tally just like Romney is trying to buy the White House.

Except this time, the public is awake and aware of the DISGUSTING Republican Party 360-degree War on America.

Floor number 6, stop what your doing and come pee in a cup. That includes you Peggy the 68 year old grandmother set to retire. Why because we employ you. If the government can make you pee in a cup they better have a good reason why.

First of all, Government Workers DO get tested before they are hired. I have no problem with random testing and my problem with all of this is simple, if there are exemptions, there is no fairness. Want some of my urine to insure I am not using cocaine or smoking pot or taking an illegal substance? Have at it because I dont want to work with someone who is using that garbage. I know that PBSO has random testing so does this ruling make their practice illegal as well? I have long stated that if I am to be tested, Gov Scott and all the rest of those knuckleheads need to be tested too! I am betting more of them fail than us!

So make the elected officials take the tests too cause they are clearly on something judging from the crap that passes muster in Tallahassee.

Wow.. All of you are idiots… did you not read the ruling? the problem is the randomness. If dumba$$ Scott would have signed a law mandating ALL state workers have to be tested, then the law would have been ok… But the randomness of it made it unconstitutional. But be honest. All people who get a paycheck from the state should have to do it. Including Scott and all elected officials as well as state workers.
