Date Rape Drug Testing Is Bullshit
But glaring inconsistencies in the standard methods used to test for date rape drugs in hospitals and labs across America meant Kendall, like many other victims, would never learn what made her pass out that night — or what happened to her while she lay unconscious. A BuzzFeed News investigation has exposed gaping irregularities in date rape drug testing procedures at hospitals and state crime labs all over the country — subjecting victims to what the head of the FBI toxicology lab recently described as a game of “roulette.” And some labs rely entirely on a type of drug screen so notoriously fallible that the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime recommends that it never be used in drug-facilitated sexual assault cases — noting that “false negative results” caused by its “insufficiently sensitive methods” risk bringing investigations to a premature end.
