Ignition Interlock Devices

Persons who have been convicted of a DUI or DWI may be required by law to install and use an ignition interlock device (IID) as a condition of their probation. Ignition interlock devices are similar to a breathalyzer test; however, if the device detects any trace of alcohol, it will disable your vehicle and record the data for your probation officer to review.

If you or someone you know is facing a DUI or DWI charge, it is important that you have an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side. Contact the West Palm Beach DUI/DWI attorneys of Eric N. Klein & Associates, P.A. today at 561-353-2800 discuss your case and possible defenses with an experienced lawyer.

How IIDs Work

Ignition interlock devices require drivers to blow into a tube, much like a breathalyzer, before they are able to start their car. In order to prevent intoxicated drivers from having a friend blow into the breathalyzer, the IIDs require that the driver blow at regular intervals. If at any point an IID detects alcohol, it will store the data. At probation meetings, the officer will download the data and confront the offender about any incriminating evidence.
