Defending Soliciting Another to Circumvent an Interlock Device Charges in New York State
Strategies and Considerations
“Soliciting Another to Circumvent an Interlock Device” charges in New York State (NYS) are a legal response to efforts by individuals who have been mandated to use an ignition interlock device due to prior driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) convictions to evade this requirement. Ignition interlock devices are installed in the vehicles of individuals with DUI or DWI convictions to prevent the vehicle from starting if the driver has consumed alcohol. However, some individuals may attempt to solicit others to help them circumvent the interlock device, which is illegal and poses a risk to public safety.
In NYS, soliciting another person to circumvent an interlock device is considered a criminal offense, as it is viewed as undermining the safety measures put in place to deter impaired driving. This charge encompasses not only the individual trying to evade the interlock requirement but also those who may aid or abet such actions. The seriousness of this offense is reflected in the legal penalties it carries, and it underscores the state’s commitment to maintaining the safety of roadways by ensuring that those with prior DUI or DWI convictions are unable to operate a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.
The penalties associated with “Soliciting Another to Circumvent an Interlock Device” charges in NYS can include fines, probation, and, in some cases, incarceration. These penalties are intended to discourage individuals from attempting to evade interlock device requirements and to safeguard public safety by enforcing compliance with these measures. It is crucial for anyone facing these charges to consult with a legal professional who can provide guidance tailored to the specific circumstances and potential consequences in their case.
