1997On June 5, 1992, Kraslawsky brought an action against Upper Deck, alleging Upper Deck’s demand that she submit to a drug test was made “without good cause or reason, and at random.” In March 1994, Upper Deck moved for summary judgment, relying on Hill v. National Collegiate Athletic Assn. (1994) 7 Cal.4th 1 [ 26 Cal.Rptr.2d 834 , 865 P.2d 633 ], Upper Deck contended Kraslawsky could not recover on her privacy cause of action because Kraslawsky had no reasonable expectation of privacy, Kraslawsky consented to the “reasonable cause” drug test, and Upper Deck had a legitimate need to drug test it

2025Cal.App.4th at pp. 849−850.) Further, the court “emphasize[d] that this was not a suspicionless intrusion.” (Id. at p. 851.) “Instead, the officers were at the residence to enforce probation terms against [the probationer] because he had flunked a drug test.” (Id. at p. 852.) Finally, the court noted “there was a need to determine [the] defendants’ connection to the probationer because the probationer was prohibited by his general terms of probation from consorting with convicted felons.” (Id. at p. 850.) Further, this court in Rios also dealt with a detention in the context of a probation sea

2021(Gutierrez, supra, 21 Cal.App.5th at p. 1159 .) We distinguished Gutierrez from situations where the defendants were detained (1) during third party probation searches conducted based on drug-use-related violations of probation (People v. Matelski (2000) 82 Cal.App.4th 837, 841 [the search was “prompted” by the fact that probationer had failed a drug test]; People v. Rios (2011) 193 Cal.App.4th 584, 589 [probationer had admitted to being under the influence of methamphetamine, and drug paraphernalia and gang tagging was found in house]), (2) during the execution of search warrants (Michigan v.

2018In Matelski, the police went to a probationer’s house to conduct a probation search because the probationer had failed a drug test and was suspected of using drugs. ( Matelski, supra, at p. 841 .) The defendants, who were not targets of the search, were walking out of the front door as the police arrived.

2005Because the reason for the appointment was unclear, the People could not show the probationer had violated a non-drug-related condition of probation; Atwood noted, for example, that if the appointment had been to take a drug test, the violation would have been drug related. ( Id. at pp. 808, 811-812, citing In re Taylor, supra, 105 Cal.App.4th 1394 .) Cashing a check allows for no such possibility here.

2004(Id. at p. 1209.) In In re Taylor, supra, 105 Cal.App.4th 1394 , the trial court found the defendant’s failure to report to his probation officer for a drug test did not involve a drug-related condition of probation.

2005Therefore, "[i]n light of the well-documented problems that are associated with the abuse of drugs and alcohol by employees—increased absenteeism, diminished productivity, greater health costs, increased safety problems and potential liability to third parties, and more frequent turnover—an employer, private or public, clearly has a legitimate (i.e., constitutionally permissible) interest in ascertaining whether persons to be employed in any position currently are abusing drugs or alcohol." ( Loder v. City of Glendale, supra, 14 Cal.4th at pp. 882-883, 59 Cal.Rptr.2d 696 , 927 P.2d 1200 , fns.

1999(Kraslawsky v. Upper Deck Co., supra, 56 Cal.App.4th at p. 187, fn. 8; Kemp v. Claiborne County Hosp.

1997The court reaffirmed the Hill criteria, 2 but made clear that the primary focus of a state constitutional privacy claim in the employee drug testing context involves a balancing test, i.e., balancing the drug test's intrusion on the reasonable expectations of the employee against the drug test's promotion of the employer's legitimate interests. ( Id ., at pp. 891-898; see also Hill v. National Collegiate Athletic Assn ., supra , 7 Cal.4th at 55 ; Kraslawsky v. Upper Deck , supra , 56 Cal.App.4th at 186 -187 .) The same test is used in Fourth Amendment cases. ( Treasury Employees v. Von Raab ,

2017The People rightfully argue that suppression is not an automatic consequence of a violation of the Fourth Amendment. ( Herring v. United States (2009) 555 U.S. 135 , 137, 139, 141, 129 S.Ct. 695 , 172 L.Ed.2d 496 .) "[T]he exclusionary rule serves to deter deliberate, reckless, or grossly negligent conduct, or in some circumstances recurring or systematic negligence ." ( Id. at p. 144, 129 S.Ct. 695 ; emphasis added.) The good faith reliance, which the People urge the court to find as a basis for admitting the drug test results, is based upon United States v. Leon (1984) 468 U.S. 897 , 104 S.C

1997Thus, as the lead opinion concedes, “[t]he disclosure of additional private information through testing a bodily substance obtained from an individual and the increased monitoring of the process under which an individual provides a urine sample constitute intrusions upon the applicant’s constitutional privacy interests that are not insignificant or de minimis—intrusions that would not be permissible in the absence of reasonable justification.” (Lead opn., ante, at p. 897.) Or, to state the matter in stronger terms, the drug test is more than a routine physical examination of the employee; it r

Moreover, his repeated refusal to take a drug test is “reasonably interpreted as a consciousness of guilt” given his intoxicated state, and it provided further “probable cause.” (Marvin v.
