🏈 Nick Saban, Paul Finebaum have heated exchange over Cam Robinson discipline

[BAMAneck]

Saban got it right , having to give up personal time will trump game time as far as punishment . Like a whooping and restriction , Whooping are rough but are over quickly while the other goes on and on. plus suspending him could punish the whole team from winning a championship , uif he missed the first game and we lost , we would haft to be perfect from their out to make the final four . I'll except the punishment .

No. You'd have to be looking at some pretty serious charges for any tests along those lines would be considered; then requiring some court order, I'm sure.

The law would be quick to give a driver a breathalyzer if suspected of being drunk, so what's the deference?

 

[BAMAneck]

He's not under 18 , so I believe if they wanted either charges would allow for a test .

Implied consent law, I would imagine it has more to do with groups like MADD, etc trying to reduce the numbers of people driving under the influence of alcohol...but not certain.

That's not entirely true. Law enforcement may want to give a breathalyzer but there's no law requiring a driver to submit. The way the law is normally written, refusing to take the breathalyzer results in being ticketed for a DUI immediately.

Marijuana test are a completely different situation. Just to begin with it's cost prohibitive. Then we're getting into handling evidence, body sample considered hazardous ...

@BAMAneck 's post just above this one ... those situations are written in law, and those test are conducted at a medical facility. Theoretically, a lot of it dismissable from the word go.
