DWI DEFENSE LAWYER IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK IGNITION INTERLOCK PROGRAM

In every DWI case in New York, the court will require that an ignition interlock device (IID) be installed in your vehicle as part of your probation requirements. Whether a device is required depends on the circumstances of your case and is in the sole discretion of the sentencing judge.

Every person required to install an IID must provide proof of installation to the court and the proper authorities overseeing the probation. The New York DWI driver is responsible for paying the cost of installation of the device as well as the monthly payments. Employees who must drive a company owned car in the scope of their employment may operate such a vehicle without an IID device so long as the employer is notified of the IID requirement and proof of notification is kept in the vehicle at all times.
