Episode 420: Making Alcohol Monitoring Fair - Jan Semenoff’s “My CAM” Program
Update: 2025-09-19
Description
Kyla is joined by forensic consultant (and former Saskatoon police officer/paramedic) Jan Semenoff to unpack continuous alcohol monitoring—ignition interlocks, SCRAM ankle bracelets, and Soberlink—and why so many people get flagged for “violations” even when they haven’t been drinking. Jan shares real cases (a fleeting 0.031 spike; a SCRAM reading hit by Static Guard on a blanket; bar staff getting ambient-alcohol alerts) to show how products, workplaces, illness, ketosis, and diabetes can confound fuel-cell devices. His solution: My CAM Program—a practical course for monitored clients with short videos, readable modules, reflective quizzes, and a 100-page downloadable guide with logbooks and checklists. It teaches best practices (true deprivation periods, avoiding alcohol-containing products near tests, handling cold meds), offers condition-specific modules, and stays accessible for the full monitoring term so users can refresh before problems arise. The goal is prevention and better records to help lawyers fight wrongful breaches, without court or probation approval needed. Cost is $47, and sign-ups are available now at the My CAM Program site.
