My case is in Van Nuys, California and one of my requirements is to install a breathalyzer in my car before I start driving. I called a place to have it done but they told me that the DMV isn't requiring me to have one.....sooooo if I get pulled over, I'm thinking that the police are not going to have records of me needing one because they only have DMV information. I'm just assuming that last part but if anyone can give me a little insight into the matter I would really appreciate it. My reason for not installing is that I could really use the extra $65 a month. Please answer with ways in which I can get caught if I decide not to install one of these devices. Thanks!

If the DMV is not requiring it, here is what you do. Go back to court, tell the judge you do not want probation with an interlock device, and do your jail time instead. Because I'll tell you that if you tell the court that you put one in and you didn't, or even worse put something fake in the car, you are looking at serious jail time. If the $65/mo is worth the jail time, you might as well get it over with now.

Ignition Interlock Device For Sale

I'll tell you what I would do.
Get some plastic tubing, and a little LED light up kit from an electronics store.
Do some research online first - to see what the thing is supposed to look like, and then rig it up to where it looks like a functional ignition interlock. Most cops aren't going to go through the trouble of finding out whether it is functional.
Use your computer to write up a 'bill of sale' and receipt for the work - make up a fictional auto accessory shop, and make sure to put some official sounding stuff about being licensed by the state of CA to install it - and maybe a blurb about 'not responsible for tampering or disabling by user'. That way you will have something to flash the cop with (get a friend in on it, and you can include his phone number on the documentation in case they try calling it).

When police pull you over they have access to DMV and criminal record information. The ignition interlock condition may be listed as one of the conditions of your probation and the police would have access to that information.
The cost of interlock here in Ontario Canada is closer to $200 a month so $65 doesn't sound so bad.

A lot of people here seem to be expecting you to pay for an IID and the associated tax ($20/month in my state). It taxation of a minority by the majority and it's morally wrong. I cannot afford the $100/month/vehicle. I have only one vehicle with an IID. I am considering selling it after removing the device. I haven't had a drink since I entered treatment 2 years ago, yet they want my money for 3 more years.

the individuals who set up the gadget will maximum probably p.c.. the motorcar up for a fee. evaluate it yet another value of ignoring hardship-loose experience and driving at the same time as impaired. As someone who worked 1 / 4 century in an ER fixing up the wear and tear and tear less than the effect of alcohol drivers do to themselves and others I strongly propose you supply up feeling sorry for your self and search for a twelve step software. If it grow to be as a lot as me we ought to convey again the lash for you individuals. you ought to miss a superb or a motive force's suspension once you come back out of the bar, yet you'll not overlook ten of the finest. That comes from a liberal. God help you if I ever grow to be conservative adequate to help the shortcoming of life penalty.

The reason for not installing is so your car will start when you leave the Bar. If the court said do it , then do it. If you're looking for a sympathetic ear, look elsewhere, obviously you got stopped for drunk driving, and I have no sympathy for drunk drivers.

So you're asking me to help you break the law? Commit a crime that will invariably endanger the lives of others when you get drunk and drive again?
Sorry, skippy, you'll get no help from me. And if I were your next-door neighbor and saw you driving, I'd turn your butt in.
