Can SCRAM prevent people from drinking and driving, like ignition interlock technology?
SCRAM cannot prevent an offender who is wearing the bracelet from drinking and getting behind the wheel of a car. However, when you look at the logistical reality of ignition interlock programs, there is nothing that prevents an offender from drinking and getting into someone else’s car and driving. The bottom line is that SCRAM will know and will report that the offender was drinking?period. That alone will be in violation of either probation or treatment requirements and will result in appropriate action. Offenders report that that risk alone often results in the decision not to drink. Alcohol abuse or addiction is usually the fundamental problem for repeat alcohol offenders. Ignition interlock does nothing to deal with this root cause, allowing offenders to drink at any time.
