If you have been facing possible violation of your San Diego Drunk Driving Probation terms while being monitored by a device like SCRAM, consider employing a top San Diego DUI attorney who knows what to do. San Diego DUI officers and San Diego drunk driving judges are testing a new gadget which is supposed to monitor repeat San Diego DUI offenders for alcohol.

Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor (SCRAM), fits on the ankle of the offender and monitors alcohol consumption. The data get regularly piped to a secure facility in Colorado for analysis. Guests at the 15th annual Drug Court Training Conference held at the Anaheim Convention Center tested out this SCRAM system over to the weekend. All told, already 2,000 Southern California DUI offenders wear SCRAM devices. There are nearly 10,000 SCRAMs in use across the US. The system uses sophisticated sensors to test alcohol concentration in the sweat and supposedly can detect when an offender has tampered with it. Prosecutors contend that fitting SCRAM devices on offenders deters repeat DUI events. However, privacy advocates counter that the monitoring system goes too far and that its accuracy has not been sufficiently proven and beta-tested. Moreover, SCRAM detractors argue that the system presumes the guilt of offenders, who can be mandated to wear the device for up to 90 days.
