DUI Advices

Authorities are now using a new monitoring program to keep track of their DUI offenders.

To add more efficiency to the largely used DUI method, the DUI checkpoints, some authorities are working  and applying new methods to prevent DUI, especially double DUI.

A new ankle-mounted electronic monitor is now being used by a few people, all of them convicted with DUI. The device tests sweat levels for alcohol and if you hit the .02 limit a computer will document the occurrence, and if that happens then you will probably go to jail again.

Some of the users said the device has help them to leave the addiction to alcohol, because the device reminds people not to drink. The new device will be part of the mandatory sentencing and the users will have to pay the bill, 90$ a week, because one of the major criteria for the creators of this device was that taxpayers shouldn’t have any cost at all with this program.

The statistics say that 70% of DUI convicts reoffend, and this was the best measure to control the situation, because it’s a win/win situation - the roads will be safer and the convicts will get the change to get off alcohol.

The device also alerts the authorities if the user tries to remove it of disable it.
