Just incase you are still alive, You are not going unnoticed with your two beer doesn't trigger a fail and not let you start the car. At least now they do not. Your BAC will register all the way down to .001, and it will record it and report it to whoever is the monitoring agency of record. Oh, just to totally piss you off trobb, they also have gps location capability. They record your BAC and where it occurred. Hmmm, lets think about this. Your monthly report to the monitoring agency shows alcohol repeatedly. Just a coincidence I guess, that it seems to almost always happen within walking distance of a bar or someplace that sales liquor. One last thing. Many states now require a camera mounted on the dash. Day or night it takes a picture every time the IID calls for a test of any kind. Damn, there goes the ingenious plan to have your buddy blow in it for you. By the way, If that shows on your report. again in most states, that's an automatic go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect anything but several more months with the unit in your car. The time in jail is pretty much up to how bad you pissed off the judge. Another thing you will love. That time you are in jail, you STILL have to pay the lease on the IID. Maybe last, depends on the state, but certainly not least, there are states that either are trying to pass or have passed laws that say, NO LICENSE EVER AGAIN FOR THE REMAINDER OF YOUR LIFE, if you are a multiple offender.
So Trob, is that as in Troglodyte? Go ahead and tell everyone how the Government is out to get everyone, but you are not going to put up with that. As I said in the beginning if your still alive, why not respond and we can get a good debate going.
