Our judge likes to order DWI defendants who cause accidents to reimburse law enforcement for their time/expense in investigating the crash. Is this possible simply because the judge can impose conditions of probation that are reasonably related to the crime or is there separate statutory authority for this? I can't find any.

Nevermind, I found it. CCP Art. 102.018.

Seriously, though, thanks for posting the answer--that will probably help someone in the future searching this forum for answers.
