Page created 4th Dec, 2006. This page is only at a first draft stage and was last updated on the 16th March 2007. Expected completing date mid 2007. Related pages. Ethical Psychological Workplace personality testing. Victoria police corruption, the lowest academic research standards funded by police who abuse scientific method to try and rationalise zero tolerance drug testing of Victorian drivers.

Free will versus determinism. Most people accept that they have free will to behave as they choose, all laws are based on the notion that humans are free to choose good or evil actions. Psychology is finding many genetic and environmental factors that can affect behaviour. If determinism was correct, we would have no free will to act otherwise than what is predetermined by our genetics, upbringing and biochemistry. In effect, drug testing assumes that we have no free will, that if we take illegal drugs we will have no free will to act rationally.

If drug testing is to be ethical if must be based on impairment or bad behaviour, it can never be ethical if it is zero tolerance.

Major subject headings draft stage

  1. Ethics in a social psychological context is responsible behaviour towards other people.
  2. Inaccuracy of the testing. Inaccurate saliva and urine testing.
  3. Civil liberties considerations. Invasion of blood testing.
  4. Irrationality of testing illegal versus legal drugs.
  5. Paracelsus only the dose determines whether a drug is a remedy or a poison.
  6. Impairment levels, behaviour should be tested no biochemistry.
  7. Habituation and tolerance factors.
  8. Commercial interest in a repressive drug testing psychology.
  9. Criminal interests in keeping some drugs illegal

In the USA and the UK, a driver who is not driving safely can be pulled over by police who have reasonable cause to suspect that a driver may be impaired and asked to take a drug test. Unsafe behaviour can be a target for drug testing. In Victoria Australia however, police need no reason to stop a driver, they stop all traffic to test everyone, no matter how well they are driving. The world first repressive drug testing of drivers has ZERO tolerance, no level of any illegal drug is tolerated, but any levels of legal drugs are completely ignored, even if the driver is impaired. Drug testing has nothing to do with behaviour or safe driving and everything to do with oppressive governments misusing psychology and chemical analysis to attribute criminal guilt by biochemistry.

Some sports agencies think they are GOD like, but their actions are tantamount to child abuse. Ignorant scum at the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) think they have a right to make children stand naked while they take urine tests, disgusting bastards.
