New California Law Governs Use of Ignition Interlock Devices in DUI Cases
A new California law lowers the BAC standard for when judges must consider the use of an ignition interlock device in DUI cases.
Under the old law, judges were required to give “heightened consideration” to ordering an ignition interlock device when the driver’s BAC was .20 percent or greater. Under the new law, the judge must give heightened consideration to an IID when the driver’s BAC is .15 percent or greater.
The use of ignition interlock devices is becoming more and more common in California DUI cases. In fact, many drivers are not voluntarily using IIDs before conviction to show the court that they are serious about not reoffending.
