Do you think this violates the players 4th amendment rights?
What could be a way to get rid of steroids without possibly violating these rights?
Is going to court, swearing to the judge, and going through the whole process too much just to test someone for the drug, or do you think that is necessary?
1. No, it does not violate the players 4th amendment rights because it is against the rules to use steriods in the firts place. So you know the punishment. Plus if you are suspected in using steriods, don't you want to clear your name.
ReplyDelete2.You should just have a simple drug test before the game. All the players have to to is give a saliva sample on a piece of paper, then you get your results. It only takes about a minute of their time.
3. Going to court, swearing to the judge, and going through the whole process is too much for using steriods. All you have to do is a drung test. And if you are using steriods then you should either be kicked of the team or monitored so that you don't use steriods again.
1. The rights of the players are not violated if they are breaking a law and the police should be able to seize the steroids, which are illegal in the first place. Upon probable cause, i.e. a drug test confirming you have used steroids, the police should be able to seize any steroids on the person AND obtain a search warrant to look for more steroids.
ReplyDelete2. I feel the current system does no violate any rights. When you sign contract to the MLB you give the consent to random drug screenings. If you are tested positive, i think a search warrant should be implemented to remove whatever steroids/ drugs that may exist.
3. Its not so much testing for the drug as it is reassuring that the person will not use steroids again. Most court cases that arise from steroid use involve MLB players lying to the judges about whether or not they used drugs, which in most cases they did.
1. Their rights aren't really being violated simply because it is not legal to use steriods unless you have a doctor's prescription. When baseball players sign their contracts, they are agreeing to steriod tests to prove they don't use them.
ReplyDelete2.The current system is fine. No rights are violated because they signed a contract agreeing to multiple steriod tests.
3. It is too much to go in front of a judge for steriod use. In my opinion they should be focusing on major crimes or the people that have lied in front of the judges about using steriods but stop bringing people to court over it.
