Chicago DUI lawyer says sometimes it helps to have the updates come straight from the horse's mouth

This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here, here, and here about the MDDP. This is the program that requires all first-time DUI accuseds to place a Breath Alcohol IgnitionInterlock Device (BAIID) on their vehicle if they wish to drive during the term of their Stautory Summary Suspension. Now comes the word that the MDDP hasn't gone as planned.



chicagoduilaw "Large numbers of people aren't taking the device". We don't know if they opted out. We aren't getting that court form #MDDP.

The device in question is a BAIID. The quote is provided by an attorney for the Secretary of State handling Administrative Driver's License Reinstatement procedures at a breakout session on Traffic/DUI New Law at the Illinois State Bar Association's 5th Annual Solo and Small Firm Conference.

Overwhelmingly the audience felt the device wasn't being used because it was too expensive and too cumbersome. I wonder why no one from MADD told the Illinois legislator that would probably be the result?
