RANCHO CUCAMONGA >> If your license has been suspended for a DUI, then it’s probably not a good idea to drive to meet up with your probation officer for a compliance check.
But 21 probationers did just that during a mandatory visit earlier this week, according to a San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department news release.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s substation in Rancho Cucamonga, along with the San Bernardino County Probation Department, cited the probationers for driving on a suspended license while checking in for a DUI probation compliance check on Wednesday.
“After the probationers checked in, deputies surveilled the probationers as they returned to their vehicles. Probationers who drove away with suspended licenses were stopped and their vehicles impounded for 30 days per state law,” the release says.
Authorities said many of the probationers who checked in did not drive but took public transportation or were driven to the location by licensed drivers.
The compliance check was funded through an Office of Traffic Safety grant awarded to the Rancho Cucamonga substation,
“Statistics show a large number of fatal collisions involve drivers on DUI probation and/or driving on a suspended licenses,” the release says.
