I live in Iowa, was stopped for speeding. During patdown for officers afety I was instructed to pull out items from pocket. Had small quantity of marijuana and a pipe. Charged with posession. Nearing end of booking process officer decided to run full gamut of tests for intox. .000 on alcohol then officer wanted urine sample I submitted after being given water. Hadn't urinated for 11-12 hrs before this. Question- As most familiar with urinalyses tests know if you drink fluids and urinate frequently you flush your system. Since I hadn't gone for a long period my claim is that my level showed abnormally high. Can a testing method with such erratic results be acceptable to prosecute? Why don't they use blood test which should return a more realistic result? Any means of defense here? (Hadn't smoked for 13-14 hrs prior.)
