What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
My boyfriend who has been convicted of 2 DUI's and has had Ignition Interlock in his car for over a year just received another DUI. He was pulled over for his trunk that has had problems locking completely on the highway and asked if he had been drinking. He said he had a few beers earlier in the day (pulled over in evening) but had stopped and showed the officer he his Ignition Interlock. The officer said that didn't matter he probably had someone blow in it for him. He not only didn't have anyone blow in his machine but had been driving for 45 minutes and explained that you have to blow within ten minutes of the start of your drive and for each consecutive 25 minutes after. The officer still had him blow twice into a device which showed him double the legal limit.
My question is...what does he do now that his car is impounded and does he have a valid case against the Ignition Interlock company. He has yet to tell the company his car is impounded as he does not want the machine tampered with if indeed it is faulty.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
