What are the specific consequences if I refused to take a drug test ordered by my probation officer?

Mark A. Broughton
Answered by attorney Mark A. Broughton (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Mark A. Broughton, PC
It depends on the specific terms of your probation. If you have a condition that allows for drug testing "as directed by the probation officer," then you have to take the test or be in violation of your probation. If seems that you might be a minor, and with a history of drug issues I would expect that your probation would include these terms. But not always. If the crime of conviction did not involve substance abuse, or there is no other indication of same, your attorney can object to their inclusion as a condition of probation at the time of sentencing (or disposition in a juvenile case). Once imposed, however, barring an appeal, you must comply. Your Fifth Amendment rights do not apply in this situation. A petition for a violation is probably on the way.
