Also is this public record information?

1. No, not realistically. Maybe a certificate of relief of civil disability. Speak with a criminal defense lawyer. 2....

As a part of a conditional discharge "a friend" was required to install and utilize an ignition interlock device. There was no requirement to abstain from alcohol. No condition stated that one could not receive a positive reading on the device, only that it must be installed, not be tampered with, and no other car could be driven. However, at the end it stated that "failure to comply with any of the above conditions or any attempt to start or operate a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol" would cause a violation. But if one has no intention to start the vehicle (they just want to see if they have a low enough BAC to drive), would this constitute a violation? Would intent to start or operate the vehicle be presumed? Is "after consuming alcohol" too broad?

Yes this would be a violation of something. The idea is that you are LEARNING something about your drinking habits and...

You say nothing to the judge - absolutely nothing! You say nothing to the police and prosecutor, absolutely nothing!...

This sounds like a weak case unless you were driving erratically when the police pulled you over.... the annonymous...

This morning as I was about to leave for work , I blew into my Ignition Interlock device and it registered as a fail . 5 minutes later , it asked me to blow again and it failed a 2nd time . I am locked out for 4 days for service . I had to have my father pick me up and take me to work because I didn't want to risk having any more failed start - up attempts ; on the ride to work , we discussed what could possibly have triggered a false positive . I have not had a sip of alcohol since my arrest ( AggDWI ) , which was over a year ago . So many of my household items contain alcohol , from mouthwash & whitening strips , to cologne & body spray . Perhaps these caused it , but I'm sure the courts will believe their machine over the " drunk " . I'm NOT on probation ( cons . discharge ) . I appreciate any help .

There appears to be a malfunction with the ignition interlock device itself. You will have to get the device serviced....
