Drug driver in Landshut: attempted fraud with artificial penis busted!

On Tuesday night, around 1:15 a.m., officers from the Landshut police station checked a driver who initially did not attract attention through the usual procedure. But appearances were deceptive: the driver showed clear signs of drug use. He agreed to a voluntary drug test, but it turned out to be a juicy spectacle.

When handing over the urine sample, the man wanted to outsmart the police with an artificial penis, also known as a “screeny weeny”. These fake genitals, which are available on the Internet, are filled with someone else's urine - a scam that is not new, however. The officers quickly noticed the attempted fraud and seized the inconspicuous aid. In such a case, a blood sample will be ordered to precisely determine drug consumption and administrative offense proceedings will be initiated idowa reported.

The pitfalls of drug testing

Urine samples are a standard method for testing drug users during traffic stops. These tests are now quite precise and largely tamper-proof. That's why it's good to realize that you can no longer play games with a current drug test. The active drug substances can only be detected for a short time, but degradation products such as THC can be detected weeks after consumption. Attempts at manipulation, such as those attempted by the Landshut driver, are associated with considerable risks, as the tests pay attention, among other things, to the temperature and specific gravity of the urine, explained rgra.

Test subjects often try to get the urine below the detection limit by diluting it. This often happens through increased fluid intake. Other tricks include obtaining “clean” urine, transported on the body and also delivered using an artificial penis. But here too, the tests are equipped with counterfeit indicators that put any manipulation to the test.

In summary, it remains to be said that little gimmicks won't get you very far in the drug test. The police in Landshut show that if you think you can get away with an artificial penis, your effort will soon prove to be in vain. During such checks, the officers are clever and are always on the lookout for potential fraud attempts - that is their job and duty.
