Bald man wins police hair drug test appeal

Summary
A man who wanted to join the police, and who was at an advanced stage of the recruitment process, was rejected because he did not have hair. The man, whose name is not mentioned for security reasons, undertook legal actions because the police corps were discriminating against him. The man had to give them hair with a length of at least 3 cm or 200 body hairs, which he also did not have, so that they could test it for drugs. The case opened at the High Court and lawyers for the PSNI wanted an alternative way to test him and that the policies had to be changed. The man won the case.

Reaction
I know that the policies and laws we make always have some way of leaving someone out and I know how that feels. I can really sympathise with this man who tries so hard to reach his goal and then gets pulled back because of a condition he has had all his life? Really, what is this world coming too. I am glad the judge ruled in his favour. If he did not, I would say the judge was nuts and should retire. At least now they know that these things happen and maybe someday we will have policies and laws we can all work with.
