A CalMatters investigation revealed that California courts have inadequately reported hundreds of vehicular manslaughter convictions, permitting convicted drivers like Marvin Salazar to keep their licenses despite legal mandates to revoke them. In several cases investigated, including Salazar's, drivers with documented convictions have not had their information reported to the DMV, leading to unsafe conditions on the road. This oversight points to systemic issues within the reporting process that need urgent attention to ensure that dangerous drivers cannot evade accountability for their actions.
How can he keep driving? We wanted consequences for him. Remove his driver's license.
CalMatters uncovered the error and others like it by cross-checking convictions in vehicular manslaughter cases against motorists' DMV records.
