Si alguien es atrapado manejando borracho o drogado, el juez necesita saber cuánto problema tiene con las drogas o el alcohol. Esto ayuda a decidir qué tipo de castigo o tratamiento necesita la persona.
Es como cuando un maestro revisa tus calificaciones y comportamiento antes de decidir si te da un castigo o te ayuda a mejorar en la escuela.
Imagina que Juan fue detenido por manejar bajo la influencia y el juez le dice que primero debe hacerse una evaluación para ver si necesita ayuda. Después de su evaluación, el juez decide que debe asistir a un programa de tratamiento. Si Juan completa el programa, su licencia puede ser restaurada.
Los infractores deben someterse a evaluaciones y tratamientos; la licencia queda suspendida si no completan el tratamiento.
75 Pa.C.S. 3816 - Requirements For Driving Under Influence Offenders (a) Evaluation using Court Reporting Network.--In addition to any other requirements of the court, every person convicted of a violation of section 3802 (relating to driving under influence of alcohol or controlled substance) and every person offered Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition as a result of a charge of a violation of section 3802 shall, prior to sentencing or receiving Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition or other preliminary disposition, be evaluated using Court Reporting Network instruments issued by the department and any other additional evaluation techniques deemed appropriate by the court to determine the extent of the person's involvement with alcohol or controlled substances and to assist the court in determining what sentencing, probation or conditions of Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition would benefit the person or the public. (b) Court-ordered intervention or treatment.--A record shall be submitted to the department as to whether the court did or did not order a defendant to attend drug and alcohol treatment pursuant to the requirements of sections 3804 (relating to penalties), 3814 (relating to drug and alcohol assessments) and 3815 (relating to mandatory sentencing). If the court orders treatment, a report shall be forwarded to the department as to whether the defendant successfully completed the program. If a defendant fails to successfully complete a program of treatment as ordered by the court, the suspension shall remain in effect until the department is notified by the court that the defendant has successfully completed treatment and the defendant is otherwise eligible for restoration of his operating privilege. In order to implement the recordkeeping requirements
Si no asistes a la evaluación, podrías enfrentar consecuencias adicionales, como la suspensión de tu licencia de conducir hasta que cumplas con el requisito.
La duración del tratamiento varía dependiendo del programa, pero generalmente puede durar desde unas pocas semanas hasta varios meses.
No, si no completas el tratamiento exitosamente, no podrás recuperar tu licencia hasta que el juez confirme que has terminado el programa.
