If he is not required to have a driver's license or CDL to operate the equipment off-road, then he is okay UNLESS it is a condition of his bond or probation that he not operate a motor vehicle without a intoxilizer, etc. If he is on probation, then he needs to discuss this with his probation officer to be safe. If he is on bond, he needs to discuss this with his lawyer.
