Скачать или смотреть After Your DUI Arrest: Ignition Interlock Device (Blow And Go) False Positives From Food And Drinks

Why Do Witt Law Group Lawyers Want People Facing DUI or Physical Control Charges To Know About Ignition Interlock Device Triggers that Can Create False Positives (IID also called "Blow and Go" devices)?

1. Ensuring Compliance with Court or Administrative Requirements

Why It Matters: Many courts and licensing authorities mandate strict adherence to IID rules as part of the client’s probation or license reinstatement process. Understanding triggers helps clients avoid unintentional violations that could jeopardize their compliance.

Example: Failing a breath test or tampering with the device could result in extended IID requirements, license suspension, or probation violations.

2. Avoiding Additional Penalties

Why It Matters: A failed or skipped IID test may lead to reports being sent to the Department of Licensing (DOL) or the court. This can trigger further penalties, such as longer IID mandates or additional fines.

Example: Explaining how certain foods, medications, or mouthwashes can trigger false positives helps clients avoid unnecessary complications.

3. Reducing Client Stress and Confusion

Why It Matters: Many clients are unfamiliar with how ignition interlock devices work or what actions might cause them to register a violation. Providing clarity reduces anxiety and helps clients feel more in control.

Example: Educating clients on common mistakes, such as turning off the car without completing a rolling retest, can prevent misunderstandings.

4. Preventing Unintentional Violations

Why It Matters: Clients might not realize that missed or failed tests could be viewed as non-compliance, even if there was no intent to violate. Educating clients minimizes the risk of unintentional infractions.

Example: Discussing situations like starting the car after consuming alcohol the night before ensures clients understand how alcohol metabolization impacts IID results.

5. Protecting Employment and Personal Freedom

Why It Matters: Many clients rely on their driving privileges for work, school, or family responsibilities. Missteps with the IID could lead to restrictions that severely impact their daily lives.

Example: Explaining the importance of keeping up with service appointments for the IID prevents lockouts, which could leave clients stranded or unable to work.

6. Mitigating Negative Impacts on the Criminal Case

Why It Matters: Violations recorded by the IID could be used as evidence of non-compliance in the client’s criminal case or probation review.

Example: If a client understands that tampering with the IID could lead to additional charges, they are less likely to attempt it.

7. Clarifying Misconceptions About the Device

Why It Matters: Some clients may believe that an IID is foolproof or may not understand how it records and reports data.

Example: Educating clients about how the device logs attempts to start the car or rolling tests clears up potential misunderstandings about what’s being monitored.
