San Diego DUI Ankle Bracelets

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday to take steps toward implementing an alcohol-detecting ankle bracelet program for individuals convicted of drunk driving.

Repeat DUI offendors who are on probation will be forced to wear new technology called a SCRAM Bracelet.

The device is helping at least 20 other states to better monitor repeat DUI offenders.

The bracelet weighs just 8 ounces, and when strapped to the subject's ankle the tamper-resistant device can detect sweat as it migrates through the skin in order to measure for alcohol consumption.

A tamper detection strap acts as an electronic link between the two parts and secures the bracelet to the client's ankle.

MORE SAN DIEGO DUI NEWS -- San Diego County supervisors are looking to purchase a rather unusual piece of jewelry: a bracelet that can detect alcohol in a person's system.

The bracelet measures perspiration every 30 minutes to determine whether its wearer has been drinking, and if so, how much. County supervisors hope to distribute the devices to convicted drunken drivers.


DUI offenders are prohibited from drinking alcohol as a condition of their probation. According to the county, these bracelets would enforce that law.

San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob said an offender's location is irrelevant. If they choose to drink, Jacob said, the bracelet will alert police.

"Law enforcement will be aware of it and will come in and arrest them," she said.

Currently, 40,000 bracelets are in use in 20 states. Some defense attorneys said they embrace the idea, as long as the bracelets are accurate.

The county is awaiting recommendations as to the type and quantity of bracelet that it will purchase, which is expected to take 90 days.
