SCRAM Alcohol Monitoring on Probation

SCRAM, which stands for Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring is a bracelet worn by the defendant 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The bracelet will take periodic alcohol tests from the defendant’s ankle and will store that reading until it is uploaded by the Probation Officer. The SCRAM Company will then analyze the data to determine if a defendant is, or has been, drinking.  The SCRAM bracelet is a very sensitive piece of equipment. Those that wear it are prohibited from using any products that contain alcohol (i.e. hairspray, lotions, shampoos, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc.). If any of these products are used while on the program the defendant could be disqualified and placed in jail.  This video shows what it looks like to wear a SCRAM bracelet and a electronic home detention monitor.   If you want to avoid these types of punishments get an Ohio DUI/OVI attorney who will aggressively fight your drunk driving charge.  Charles M.
