What's the class? A class action lawsuit might be possible to bring if the class is everyone affected by a single manufacturer's field drug test, if there aren't many manufacturers. But if the lawyers think that the manufacturer won't end up losing that case, then your class is reduced to the people affected by each individual police department, separately, no? That might not be as enticing for local lawyers if it's say, a class of a thousand people. If the lawyers don't think there's a significant chance of winning (say, because of qualified immunity), a small class action likely won't get taken up, especially if it's a small class action representing poor people and the lawyers foot the bill on their own time. Really feels like something that should be picked apart by federal prosecutors. But the feds also largely dgaf about poor people, so here we are. At best I think you might get local legislative changes to eliminate that type of testing, on a piecemeal basis, only in a few cities.
