Probation Officer involved accident:
When being a victim of a DUI accident can turn into a bigger nightmare? Â When the alleged drunk driver turns out to be a law enforcement officer and tries to blame you for causing he accident. Â This is what allegedly occurred in February when a Contra Costa Probation Officer in a work vehicle with CA Exempt license plates struck another vehicle with his work vehicle while apparently under the influence of alcohol. Â The Officer's BAC was determined to be .14. Â Apparently, following the accident the officer exited his vehicle an used his authority to bully the victim and accuse him of drinking alcohol. Â
I would like to see the percentage of DUI arrests that do and do not involve accidents for non-officers and compare the number or ration of DUI arrests for officers that do and do not involve accidents. Â I suspect that non-accident officer DUI arrests are a lower percentage of Officer DUI arrests compared to Non-Officer DUI arrests, but I have not seen any data to support that conclusion.
