A piss test right on a street? Funny if you try to imagine it.

On the other hand if someone asked me for a piss test without finding any drugs on me, he would probably be told to get fuc_ked. Can they charge someone with some drug offence if there no drugs found on person but in their system?

Aren't the streetside/i-the-bar urine tests only a "preliminary screening?"

I thought that a positive indication required a followup test at the station with a more accurate test administered under stricter controls, and it was the result of that second test that would determine if charges would be brought.

No need for piss testing of you read the original post. Goods in possession.
