Attorney Fighting DWI Penalties, Such As IID
The ignition interlock device (often called the “IID”) is any blood alcohol concentration (BAC) equivalence measuring device. The IID is connected to a motor vehicle ignition system. It prevents a motor vehicle from being started without first determining through a deep lung breath sample that the operator's equivalent blood alcohol level does not exceed the calibrated setting (.025%) on the device.
Besides just preventing the vehicle from operating when the driver has consumed any alcoholic beverage, you should also know that the IID has several alternative uses for law enforcement officers and prosecutors in the criminal justice system including:
the IID can be used as a breathalyzer by the probation officer to determine whether the probationer has consumed alcohol in violation of the general terms of probation;
the IIDs is equipped with GPS and real time reporting can be used to locate probationers and track movements; and
the IIDs can help reinforce sobriety for those probationers in treatment and under supervision.
VTL § 1198(2) requires any person convicted of a Driving While Intoxicated offense to install an ignition interlock device on any automobile that he may operate as a condition of his probation. Section 1198(9) makes operation of an automobile without a court ordered ignition interlock device a class “A” Misdemeanor.
VTL §1192(2), (2-a), or (3) became effective August 15, 2010.

Furthermore, at sentencing, the court must order the person to install an Ignition Interlock Device in any motor vehicle they “own or operate.” The law requires that the IID be installed “in no event for less than six months”. The term of probation or conditional discharge shall run consecutively to any term of imprisonment. The Ignition Interlock Device requirement then appears on the NYS Driver’s License and the Driver’s License File.
VTL §1198 (9) provides: (a) No person whose driving privilege is restricted pursuant to this article or the penal law shall request, solicit or allow any other person to blow into an ignition interlock device, or to start a motor vehicle equipped with the device, for the purpose of providing the person so restricted with an operable motor vehicle.
(d) No person subject to a court ordered ignition interlock device shall operate a motor vehicle without such a device.
(e) In addition to any other provisions of law, any person convicted of a violation of paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this subdivision shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. New York State Regulations in 9 NYCRR Part 358 required the New York State DCJS to promulgate strict state regulations governing the installation and monitoring of compliance by anyone ordered to install and maintain the Ignition Interlock (IID) device. New York State Regulations in 9 NYCRR Part 358 sets forth the regulations for operators, IID manufacturers, installers, and monitors including probation departments. The courts play a critical role in the enforcement of court-ordered probation and monitoring conditions related to the installation of the Ignition Interlock Devices.
New York State Regulations in 9 NYCRR Part 358 sets forth requirements for the Courts and Operators including:
imposing a five (5) day deadline for the monitor to receive notification from the Court pursuant to its county plan for IID condition or installation; imposing a ten (10) day deadline for installation of the IID by drivers after the court order; imposing a three (3) Three-day rule for the driver to provide proof of installation to the court, probation officer or designated monitor; requirement that the driver shall submit to service visits within 30 calendar days of prior installation or service visits where the device does not automatically transmit data directly to the monitor. requirement that the driver submit to 30-day visits, followed by 60-day visits when the device automatically transmits data directly to the monitor or the device head is sent to the manufacturer.
Then New York State Regulations in 9 NYCRR Part 358 - Operator Requirements for Probation and the Monitor - require probation or the designated monitor to notification of the following events to the District Attorney and the Court within 3 business days of the event occurring:
The driver failures to install IID on the vehicle the driver owns or operates;
