Where did you hear that? As a foreigner you are obliged to follow the same criminal laws as anyone else.

Do you remember this?

You can't pinpoint the legislation allowing police to randomly test Cambodian citizens because it doesn't exist.

You have gone from some nonsense about foreigners having special rights to random tests on Cambodians. You don't seem to be able to remember your own posts.

The thread is about penalties for drug taking. If you don't have drugs in your possession, but in your system, they can arrest you if they have evidence and the only way they find out that, is if they drug test you illegally. So my comment is around the topic. I also thought people might appreciate that fact , but obviously not.

Please honor the principle of onus probandi: the burden of proof is the obligation to provide sufficient supporting evidence for claims that one makes.

Note the use of any in article 98. In order to provide evidence for (not) using any drugs, testing is relevant and does not need seperate explanation or indicate foreigners. Article 78 generally describes one needs to participate in criminal proceedings when accused (which could include testing). Do not operate a vehicle, operation under influence is prohibited in article 99 which also states that refusal to get tested makes you subject to the punishment described in first paragraph of article.

He’ll just change his narrative again. I’m guessing it’s just taking him awhile to think of something.

As I stated before this relates to driving.

LOL. Did come up with, albeit a weak, narrative.

OP the main job of Cambodian police is not law enforcement. The main job of Cambodia police is collecting bribes. As long as it’s just possession of personal amounts the police are much happier with a bribe than an arrest. The bribe however is going to be the largest amount they think they can take from you, so the richer they think you are the bigger the bribe they are going to demand
Foreigners do end up in jail for drugs but it’s almost always when the foreigner doesn’t have bribe money ready for the police
Welcome to Cambodia
