Cook County BAIID Defense Attorney
Under an Illinois law in effect since 1994, and used far more widely since 2009, many people charged with DUI face mandatory use of a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) if they wish to drive. The ignition interlock device or BAIID is essentially an in-car Breathalyzer that prevents operation of the vehicle if the machine detects that a driver registers above a certain level for blood alcohol concentration (BAC).
People who face the BAIID requirement include:
- All first-time suspended DUI offenders who want to drive during their six-month or 12-month driver's license suspension period with a Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP)
- Convicted DUI offenders who want to drive for essential activities under a Restricted Driving Permit (RDP) for employment, education, medical and support group attendance
