INSTALLATION OF IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICE
§ 23575. Installation of Ignition Interlock Device.
(a) If you are convicted for DUI (even first offense), the court can order you to install an approved ignition interlock device in all of the cars you own or operate and prohibit you from operating a car that does not have a device. The court is much more likely to order the installation of this device if your blood alcohol content was greater than .20, you had two or more prior moving violations, or you refused to submit to a chemical test at the time of arrest. You can be ordered to keep this device for up to three years from the date of conviction.
(b) If you are ordered to install an interlock device, you cannot tamper, bypass, or attempt to remove it. The device is to be maintained by a third party who can notify the court if they find you have attempted to alter or remove the device.
(c) You and the device will be monitored by the court while the device is in place.
Do Not Rely on This Statutory Interpretation. It is for Guidance Only! Make sure you consult the actual California Vehicle Code for the most accurate and current statement of the law.
