Eh being wrong 1/25 times is not accurate enough to take people rights away from them imo.

Sure, but also:

By comparison, testing for THC alone “yielded 88 percent specificity, 73 percent sensitivity and 80 percent accuracy.

That's what we use now. So it's a significant improvement. Right now we're taking away rights with an error rate of 1/5. Anything that improves that is good.
