She got a DUI and isn't suppose to drink for 90 days. Supposedly if she leaves town and is randomly selected, she has to send her urine overnight. Also supposedly the anaylysis can tell if you have been drinking in the last 48 hours? Is that true? And why could't she just pee prior to drinking and send that sample if she is selected while out of town? We have a big annual trip in the mountains with a bunch of friends and I don't want this to be a drag. Thanks.

If she leaves to go on vacation and she is called for a random sample, she has to send a urine sample overnight within 24 hours. Why can't she make a clean sample before she starts drinking and have that just in case. Can a test tell if it is a day or two old?

The can't tell the exact age of the urine but when urine leaves the body,the bacteria in it starts to grow and it is by the growth of that bacteria they can get a pretty good idea of how old the bacteria is.
I have never heard of sending urine overnight. Usually it has to be given on the spot and now adays they stand outside the bathroom stall while you pee and they test the temp of the urine to make sure that it is "fresh".
Your friend may even have to do this at a medical facility or Dr's office who will verify that it was given "fresh" THEN shipped overnight.
Many people have tried to fool law enforcement and law enforcement is wise to ALL of the tricks.
If your friend has been ordered to not drink it is probably because they are pretty sure she has a drinking problem and your encouraging her to drink isn't being much of a friend.

Yes, they can tell how old a sample is, and yes, they can tell if she's been drinking even if it's been a day or two. Your friend would be violating the terms of her parole by sending in a stale sample, or if she drank. Instead of thinking of her sobriety as "a drag," maybe you should plan the trip with a little forethought and do other things that don't require drinking. It would be considerate to your friend and the mature thing to do.

She has to tell the court if she 's leaving probably. No you can't leave a sample because even if they don't watch her give a sample the temp is recorded .
