Chicago DUI lawyer wonders who else does MADD want to have an Ignition Interlock Device?

This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here, and here about MADD. Now comes news that they want the Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) placed on more cars.


Kristi Hosea, a victim-services specialist with Illinois Mothers Against Drunk Driving, said stepped-up efforts by police have been helpful, but there won't be a significant decrease in drunken driving until breath-alcohol ignition interlocks are more widely required in vehicles.

"People's behaviors aren't changing after they're arrested for a drunk-driving case," she said. "One of the things we're doing in Illinois is pushing for more ignition interlocks."

Under a state law that took effect a year ago, first-time offenders now must use a breath-alcohol ignition interlock device if they want to drive while their licenses are suspended.

Hosea said, "We need to make cars inoperable for drunk drivers."

Well, whose left to have a BAIID installed on their car after those charged with drunk-driving? Get your wallet ready, MADD is about to reach in and take money away from you in order to move forward their alcohol prohibition agenda.
