Positive Yabba Urine Test = Jail Time In Los

[mozzieslapper]

There is a kid that lives near us that apparently during a mass urine screening test at school got a positive result for Yabba. No drugs were found on him.

The parents are separated and by my observations both have new partners that don't want anything to do with him. He is 15 or 16 yo and now been sitting in jail for about 1 week while both of his parents have abandoned him. We are not getting involved, however I find it difficult to comprehend that a kid is locked up for a positive reading and nothing on him.

My other half was surprised as well, she thought that the coppers would let him out with a warning a and a slap on the wrist if the parents came and got him and gave him a good stiff kick up his real end and take more responsibility of him. No one has even been to the cop shop !!! Is this normal to be locked up from a pee pee test?

What good would that do?

[HardenedSoul]

They'll let you out if you pay a fine and go back for regular testing. If you've got no dosh, you stay in the clink. So I'm told

[NomadJoe]

Prisons in Thailand are full of people doing hard time for possession of a single yaba pill. Not surprised they are keeping him.

That's probably what they will do if someone goes down and gets him. He'll probably have to take some kind of drug treatment course as well. Maybe they just don't want to let him loose as they think he'll go back to drugs and want the parents to straighten him out. I don't know what will happen when the parents don't care enough to even go get him. Maybe they think since the parents don't care they have to do it themselves, and are keeping him for a while to scare him straight.

I like a hardline approach to drug possession I just wish the implementation was consistant.

Six young men were piss tested in our village several months ago and hauled straight to jail for testing positive.

Bailed for 10k bht and in court 2 days later.

Got a one year suspended sentence and will only get their 10k's bht back if they stay clean or rather if they are not caught again.

Thanks for the education.. The parents are both in my opinion total idiots and clearly don't give a dam_n about their kid.

It is not for us to get involved in as such. I am just wishing to know more about their system after seeing a chap in it.

[impulse]

Or the parents can go down and bail him out so he can go back and do it again, and next time he can get caught with enough to send him away for life.

Perhaps the parents know something we don't know? Perhaps they're letting the kid suffer the consequences of his actions so he learns a lesson?

Maybe they understand that they have lost all control of the kid to the influence of his peers and they're doing the best thing they can for him?

Or they may just be totally irresponsible parents. In any case, I'm certainly not close enough to pass judgment.

[Puag]

Fairly ironic they send him to the place it comes from hey

Exactly.

We had an employee who did the same thing. Tested positive (outside of work) got banged up in jail for 3 or 4 days, then he came up with the fine money and he got out. But had to go back for weekly testing for quite a few months though.

Even though the hardline approach doesn't actually work, right? Drug use in Thailand is up since Thaksin guaranteed that six months of extra-judicial killings would eliminate the problem.

This guy is already in jail huh? Gee, I remember reading a story about a coked up, drunk kid driving a ferrari who killed a cop and tried to do a runner and he's still living large.

Yes. The main cause of the boy's continued incarceration is the lack of funds paid to release him. Your perp had no such problem.

Why would you bring any conception of law and justice into this scenario? Chalk and cheese. . .

AFAIK there's three options basically:

1. you pay the fine (read bribe) off the record after which there is no case.

2. you pay the fine which sets you free until a court appearance is due.

3. no money, you stay locked up until it goes to court and final fine/jail time is determined.

Just for information-there are certain other drugs one can buy to destroy the accuracy of these test.

They are avaibale over the internet or in some shops in major european citys .

Also, one can mix various prescribe medicines to prevent accurate detection.But this should be avoided so one does not cause oneself harm.

Good luck with that.

Most drug testing is done randomly so you don't really know when you're gonna run into a check point where they ask you to piss in a cup.

[nattydread]

do they piss test for marijuana?

Sorry I had an unreasonable moment of logic and reason.

Good question, I know of a few people who smoke the weed.

Aparently they have been searching people on the streets and pulling people off motorbikes and taxi's often the last few months.

[meom]

There was an article in the Post on 26 October about trials being done with a new machine that tests saliva or sweat samples.

According to the article it will check for presence of the following:

1. Marijuana

2. Methamphetamine (yaba)

3. Crystal Methamphetamine (ice)

4. Cocaine

5. Ecstasy

6. Heroin

7. Ketamine

the hardline approach doesn't work. It is well proofed....the only way that works is to let it happen.
