The problem for the cops is that a urine test can't tell between acute intoxication and metabolite residue when it comes to cannabis. It would make far more sense to go by behavior than whether or not metabolites are picked up in a person's urine.

What this study said is that chronic cannabis users don't have any more traffic accidents than the rest of us, meaning finding the metabolites in a person's urine or blood stream after a routine traffic stop means absolutely nothing.
