    I could be wrong, but I think drug tests on probation are at the discretion of the probation officer. There are stories about pills in the White House, but the probation officer might not feel that drug tests are warranted.

    On the other hand, he does have to submit to drug testing if requested. He also must cooperate with law enforcement.

      He’ll be under all kinds of scrutiny that he’s never had to endure before. As is, the odds that Merchand will jail him are decidedly non-zero. The odds of him fully complying with release conditions are quite low.
