A federal judge has blocked a Florida law that would require random drug testing of state employees. The Florida ACLU and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees challenged the law.
“The Governor can’t order the state to search people’s bodily fluids for no reason – the Constitution prohibits that sort of government intrusion,” Howard Simon, executive director of the ACLUFL, said in a statement. “And the Governor can’t demand that people surrender their constitutional rights for the privilege of working for the state or receiving some other government benefit.”
