Moreno Valley resident Sabine Durden, mother of former Riverside County Sheriff’s dispatcher Dominic Durden, shows the personalized license plate that she put on Dominic’s car after he was killed in a July 12, 2012 collision with an undocumented immigrant with criminal convictions and no driver’s license.
