Why First Offenders Should be Required to Have Ignition Interlocks
Monday, August 30, 11:15 am − 12:15 pm
Twelve states require an ignition interlock program for all offenders, while other states have been reluctant to pass legislation requiring ignition interlocks for first-time offenders. Until now, there has been an absence of scientifically valid evidence proving first offenders are as likely to re-offend as second offenders, and therefore should be mandated to have ignition interlocks. Dr. William Rauch will present the findings of a study, based on an analysis of over 100 million driver records, that shows the recidivism rate of first offenders closely resembles that of multiple offenders. J.T. Griffin will provide an overview of our ignition interlock "State of the Union" provisions in the current Highway Reauthorization Bill that include proposed sanctions incentivizing states to pass all offender laws and a technology project called Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS) that promises to all but eliminate alcohol-impaired driving in our lifetime. Captain Lenny Casper, New York State Police and Law Enforcement Committee Chair will serve as the facilitator for what promises to be a spirited conversation.
