A protest in front of the National Assembly in Sofia against field drug tests. According to the participants, they are not reliable enough. According to the people, a significant number of positive tests lead to "unfair accusations and severe consequences", bTV reported.
That is why they are also demanding that the practice of detention based solely on a field test be abolished. The protesters themselves are victims of such tests - which showed that they were positive for drugs.
A few months later, blood samples proved that they had not actually used drugs. At the same time, however, people's licenses and their cars have been confiscated.
That's why people insist that when a field test comes out, the license should not be canceled and the driver should not be detained for 24 hours.
And blood tests should be issued for much shorter periods than 14 days.
People carry posters with the inscriptions “The tests are wrong“.
