Drivers in North Dakota could receive drug and impairment screening using new oral detection devices.  The mobile devices can detect drugs besides alcohol in a person’s system, including marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine.   North Dakota was part of a pilot program in 2022 and 2023.  The results reportedly shows 83% of drivers had at least one drug present in their system.  While officers can now employ these new devices, they still need probable cause to require drivers take the tests.
