Whizzinator used to pass probation urine tests in Texas
West Texas probationers face new trouble over using a realistic prosthetic device that dispenses synthetic urine to defeat urinalysis tests. Five men were caught in six months, including an arrest sparked by a sharp eyed officer in a restroom. The device retails for 150 dollars and is sold mainly online by Pack Technology. In San Antonio a separate three year effort seeks 15 million dollars to restore four Franciscan missions along the river. In Galveston, lawyers for Robert Durst cite neighbors' violent behavior as context in his murder trial for killing Morris Black.
