Drugged Driving: Roadside Saliva Tests

We have written about Ohio law enforcement’s focus on drugged driving.  In particular, the Ohio State Highway Patrol has invested heavily in training officers in the Drug Recognition Expert protocol.  There are but a handful of police officers that after years of being on the road receive Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) training. Until recently, there were no approved portable roadside testers. This recently changed with Dräger offering into the market it’s newest device, the Dräger DrugTest ® 5000. It is a portable drug testing device that officers can use at roadside. It is based upon collecting oral fluid (mixed saliva) from a motorist.  As fellow DUI attorney, Justin McShane writes, “[t]he future is Oral Fluid Drug Test. The writing is on the wall.”
