On: I want privacy because I break the law

[teeja]

I want privacy because it's a self-explanatory, daily part of the human condition that every human understands from the time they're small. I don't have to explain it, I refuse to justify my need for it, and I will do whatever I have to do to protect it. Including breaking your $#)($& laws.

Consequently, I will never take a job for which a piss-check is a condition of employment. For one thing, that is self-incrimination, from which I'm protected by the 5th amendment. And I'm not signing away my constitutional rights to work for some totalitarian employer.

I don't disagree with your premise: I'd never work for a company that did drug checking.

But: private companies are not bound by the 5th amendment. The Constitution and Bill of Rights covers only what the government may or may not do.

I understand that; I'm saying: for an American company, I won't give up my rights at the door. They can insist, and I'll walk away. Forced self-incrimination is not consonant with reasonable liberty. Should that stop at the door of a business?

Consider who got the piss test started: Ed Meese, Attorney General of the U.S. at the time. Purely contradicts the Fifth.
