AIIPA Enhanced Interlock Technology Document Launch On USB drives distributed at conference registration Will be found on AIIPA website after the conference (

Enhanced Interlock Technology Definition Any technology add on to the basic handset Camera Units GPS Recording Real-Time Reporting Dual Use Devices

Enhanced Technology Considerations Identify all stakeholders Costs for manufacturers and clients Implementation

Enhanced Technology Considerations Increased workloads Law Enforcement Monitoring Officials Courts State Interlock Program Administrators Expected Impact On Highway Safety

Camera Units Attached to windshield or handset Operate in all lighting conditions High enough resolution to identify driver Range of view to capture driver in all postures

Camera Unit – Benefits Confirmation of person submitting breath sample Tool in tampering investigations Tool in probation violation investigations In combination with GPS technology, tool in license restriction violations Serves as a deterrent to circumvention Facial detection during violations

Camera Unit - Issues Privacy issues regarding scope of camera view Extra cost to offender and interlock service provider Data storage and data download times Increased time to monitor interlock requirements Additional state oversight due to additional interlock functionality issues Applicable laws related to circumvention

Camera Unit - Decisions Level of privacy protection for vehicle occupants Determining which interlock events require a photo to be taken Leniency provided for failed tests followed by a passing test when camera confirms client submitted both Restrictions on where camera can be mounted on windshield or allowing a camera in the handset Develop laws to define and punishment for camera tampering

Camera Unit - Example

Camera Unit – Legislative Pitch Who will this benefit? What are the extra costs for clients? How will this impact traffic safety?

GPS Reporting GPS technology can be cellular or satellite based Reporting can be in coordinates, address, pin map or combination

GPS Reporting - Benefits Ability to charge clients in tampering investigations Tool in probation violation investigations In combination with camera technology, tool in license restriction violations Used for real-time reporting

GPS Reporting - Issues Extra cost to offender and interlock service provider Privacy of client State specific legality for tracking citizens

GPS Reporting - Decisions Determining when to collect GPS coordinates Restrictions for investigative use of GPS coordinates Format of reporting locations Restrictions on where GPS can be mounted Develop laws to define and punishment for GPS tampering

GPS Reporting Coordinates

GPS Reporting Location Estimation

GPS Reporting Pin Map

GPS Reporting – Legislative Pitch Who will this benefit? What are the extra costs to clients? What will be information be used for? How will this impact traffic safety?

Real-Time Reporting Reporting of specific violations to law enforcement as they are occurring Uses real-time GPS to provide location of vehicle

Real-Time Reporting - Benefits Catch DUI or probation violations as they are occurring Reduce impaired driving collisions Expedite probation violations to the court through quicker identification

Real-Time Reporting - Issues Increased burden on law enforcement and community centers Increased liability for law enforcement, probation officers, and state program managers Extra cost to offender and interlock service provider Extra workload placed on monitoring agency

Real-Time Reporting - Decisions Trigger level for reporting Infrastructure level for handling the reporting Restrictions for investigative use of real-time reporting Training development for law enforcement, monitoring agencies, and state program managers

Real-Time Reporting - Example New York has three classifications for interlock use Their Class II and III devices need to have GPS real time reporting capabilities Four counties use the Class III device, which enacts the Emergency Response Program: “the contemporaneous transmission of data of particular events, as defined in 9 NYCRR Part (c) (5), to a specified monitoring entity as the event occurs or as soon as cellular reception permits.” The protocol includes notifying authorities when random retests reach a defined level in order to locate possibly impaired drivers

Real-Time Reporting - Legislative Pitch Who will this benefit? Is there extra cost to the clients? What is the impact to traffic safety? What is the impact to law enforcement’s work load?

Dual Use Devices Developing technology driven by 24/7 monitoring programs Client to use same device at home or in car Proximity technology to know when it is near a vehicle

Dual Use Devices - Benefits Develop laws to address any camera limitations Develop laws specific to tampering with dual use devices May require dual program specific development

Dual Use Devices - Issues Possibly easier to have others test when driving Proximity technology for knowing when the device is in a vehicle Photo quality limitations on hand held device cameras Not covered in NHTSA specifications Data storage Separating home from vehicle data automatically for different purposes

Dual Use Devices - Decisions Develop laws to address any camera limitations Develop laws specific to tampering with dual use devices May require dual program specific development

Dual Use Device – Legislative Pitch Who will this benefit? Will it cost extra for the client? How does this impact traffic safety?
