The department and judges have been seeking the data from the passed tests to see if there were any small amounts of drugs detected. ?They want the negative concentrations so they can make an uneducated, nonscientific, subjective decision as to whether an individual still has traces of a drug in them,? Warren Cooper, owner of Acculab, told the Illinois Policy Institute.
The entire department is ripe with perpetual fraud, waste and abuse that reporter Lee Williams has been uncovering:
