New Mexico Finds Indigent Program Was Flawed

New Mexico had an indigent program setup to pay for offender who could not afford the ignition interlock device on their vehicle.  They have now found that the nearly one third of the states participants who claimed they could not afford it, were actually scamming the system.  Offenders are now required to meet strict standards to qualify for the funding. 

Kansas currently requires proof of qualification for state and federal assistance.  This seems to limit the numbers to only those who actually qualify for the program. 

Nebraska has revised their qualifications as well after a time period of apparent misuse.

Ignition Interlocks Effective at Preventing Drunk Driving

 

In an article published by Reuters, the following statements were used describing ignition interlock devices and their effectiveness.  Ignition Interlock devices will prevent drunk driving recidivism. 

While this seems obvious, sometimes it is hard to see what that means.  State legislatures are debating this very fact all over the United States right now.  Many states are making the decision to include first time DUI offenders when it comes to their Ignition Interlock sanctions. 

This article takes 15 scientific studies on ignition interlock into review and determines that ignition interlock devices WILL reduce drunk driving recidivism. 

Re-arrest rates for alcohol-impaired driving decrease by 67 percent after the ignition interlocks are installed compared to drivers with suspended licenses, said the study by researchers at the Community Guide branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

"The very strong indication is that ignition interlocks work extremely well with preventing people with interlocks installed from re-offending," said Randy Elder, scientific director for systematic reviews at Community Guide, commenting on the study.

"In order to maximize the benefits of these interlocks in terms of preventing alcohol-impaired driving and crashes, we need to get more people (using them),"

The review to be published in the March issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine is based upon a systematic review of 15 scientific studies of ignition interlocks
