Intoxalock is approved for voluntary use in the state of Alabama, which means court-mandated offenders may need to obtain your device elsewhere. However, anyone who wishes to use an Intoxalock as a preventive tool or sobriety aid is more than welcome to do so.
An ignition interlock device or IID, is compact and installed directly into your vehicle’s wiring system. Once installed the device will require the driver to take a Breath Alcohol Content (BrAC) test and pass before they can start the car.
If they fail, the device will not allow the vehicle to start until they pass. The device will also ask for random retests during most trips. This helps prevent device tampering and ensures the driver remains sober during the trip.
For voluntary devices, you can choose to install and remove them at any time. Intoxalock has voluntary installation centers throughout the state. For court-mandated interlock devices, the term will be determined by statute and the court. Alabama has a compliance-based interlock policy, so violating the interlock policy could result in a longer term.
