Stephan ruled in a Friday opinion that public safety job applicants may be drug tested, but blanket testing of all state employees is unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment. The opinion, requested by Rawlins County prosecutor Charles Peckham, warns wholesale testing lacks reasonable suspicion and would violate rights, while targeted testing for fitness purposes may proceed with job relevance.
