Yes, interlock devices are designed to track various data points, including your location, to ensure compliance with legal requirements.
How Interlock Devices Monitor Data
Ignition interlock devices collect a comprehensive range of data to monitor a user's adherence to their program and verify compliance with court orders or regulations. This tracking is a fundamental part of their function.
The data collected includes:
- Breath Samples: Every breath sample provided is recorded. This includes the date, time, and the specific breath alcohol concentration (BAC) detected.
- Vehicle Location: Interlock devices record the car's location. Furthermore, in some states, if the device registers a violation, GPS capabilities within the device can record and report the vehicle's precise location.
This continuous data collection serves to verify sobriety and ensure that drivers are operating their vehicles in accordance with their monitoring requirements.
