Why myCAMprogram?

Picture
When your client is placed on a Continuous Alcohol Monitoring (CAM) program, even one misunderstood result can lead to serious legal consequences:

 - Allegations of non-compliance
 - Bail or probation violations
 - Loss of driving privileges or
​ - Revocation of driving privileges 
​
In many cases, these consequences stem not from actual alcohol use, but from misunderstood test results, unintentional exposures, or poor instructions from monitoring agencies.
That’s where myCAMprogram comes in.

What is myCAMprogram?

MyCAMprogram is a self-guided forensic education course created by a  veteran forensic criminalist with almost 40 years of experience in breath alcohol testing, monitoring, and litigation.
Unlike manufacturer training or probation instructions, this program is designed specifically to help your client avoid false positives, document their actions, and succeed in the program - while generating credible, forensic-based documentation that may later support your legal defense.
Let's be clear: The vast majority of alcohol monitoring programs and devices are reliable and successful. They offer the participant the opportunity to stay productive, maintain family ties, and steer clear of custodial punishment. Overall, Continuous Alcohol Monitoring devices work, and work well. But, they are not perfect (no technology is) and more often than not, it is the program participant who creates the situation resulting in a non-compliance allegation, often through lack of understanding of the issues involved. We've seen that in dozens of court cases. We are here to change that situation.
As counsel, enrolling your client in myCAMprogram is a proactive step that demonstrates:
  • Due diligence in anticipating and preventing non-compliance
  • A clear effort to educate and empower your client
  • A commitment to accuracy and evidence-based risk mitigation


​Top five reasons your client should enroll:

1. Science-Backed Education
   Built by a forensic criminalist, the program cuts through myths and misinformation with evidence-based content.


2. Empowerment, Not Just Compliance
   Participants learn how to protect themselves from false positives and unfair sanctions, instead of just being told to “follow the rules.”


3. Practical, Everyday Guidance
   Step-by-step lessons show how to navigate daily life with a monitor — from handling hand sanitizers to dealing with medical conditions.


4. Lawyer & Court Credibility
   The curriculum is designed with legal professionals in mind, ensuring participants can demonstrate understanding and responsibility.


5. Accessible for All
​   Two versions of every lesson — one professional, one simplified — ensure the content is usable by people with different reading levels.
This makes your job easier - and your case stronger.

Top five issues addressed by the myCAMprogram:

1.  False Positives
          Tackles how environmental exposures, medical conditions, and daily products can trigger false alarms.

2.  Confusion About Device Rules
          Simplifies complex manufacturer instructions into clear, plain-language steps participants can actually follow.

3.  Medical Risks Overlooked
          Brings attention to conditions like diabetes, GERD, asthma, and COPD that can interfere with testing — and shows how to document them.

4.  Fear of Unfair Consequences
          Gives participants proactive strategies to avoid sanctions and present their case fairly if issues arise.

5.  Lack of Support
​          Replaces generic, manufacturer-driven training with compassionate, human-centered education that respects participants’ dignity.

How this helps your practice:

1.  Reduces hearing time by preventing avoidable violations
2.  Creates real-time contemporaneous documentation that can be introduced in court
3.  Improves your ability to challenge questionable data through a foundation of informed behavior
4.  Demonstrates responsible counsel in pretrial, sentencing, or mitigation settings
5.  Protects your record by avoiding claims of ineffective assistance due to lack of guidance or preparation
In short, not only does this program protect your client - it protects you.

Ideal for:

  - Specialist DUI / OUI/ OVI / Impaired Driving attorneys
  - Criminal trial lawyers with clients on Transdermal Monitoring, Ignition Interlock, or Personal Breath Testing devices.
  - Legal aid and public defender offices
​  - Specialty courts or probation programs needing client education

Created for courtrooms:

This isn’t a generic alcohol awareness class. It’s a forensically grounded training tool that teaches your client how to recognize, respond to, and document issues before they become legal problems.
Every module is rooted in the science of breath and transdermal alcohol testing, with practical strategies for:
  - Diagnosing potential interference (medical, environmental, or procedural)
  - Preserving evidence through secondary testing
  - Communicating clearly with lawyers, officers, and the court
Clients can complete the program at their own pace - and receive a completion certificate to include in your records or file.

Recommend with confidence:

Encourage your client to complete myCAMprogram as soon as the potential for monitoring exists - or before a violation hearing or motion is filed. This may demonstrate:
  - Proactive behavior
  - A good faith effort to comply
  - A basis for reconsideration, leniency, or program reinstatement
We provide the education. You provide the advocacy. Together, your client has a better chance of success.
We recommend you add this section to your post-case letter to clients: 
Recommendation for Post-Case Support:
As part of your completion of court proceedings, we strongly recommend enrolling in the myCAMprogram. It is an independent, science-based online education course designed for individuals subject to continuous alcohol monitoring. Created by leading forensic experts, this program empowers participants with practical strategies to prevent false positives, navigate daily life with monitoring equipment, and understand the science behind alcohol testing. It is especially valuable for avoiding unnecessary violations and protecting your legal record. Completing the course may also demonstrate your commitment to compliance and proactive learning, which can support future legal or administrative proceedings.
