I would first like to say that I had no idea that I could comment on any type of law, regulation or bill. I didn't realize that this website even existed. I was never good in Social studies or government so excuse my ignorance towards the justice system in a whole. I am concerned that this new regulation toward DUIs is breaking my contract that I already have with the ignition interlock. I was convicted 2 years ago for my DUI, since then I have been rehabilitated and have moved on in a better way. Unfortunately because I could not comply with the terms back in 2014 I would not retrieve my license. Among those things I could afford to keep my Fr44, I had the breathalyzer but not for 6 months consecutively, and I have actually had the Ignition Interlock on my vehicles a total of 3 times now. My time is up in November. I really want to be done with. So I can fully move on. When I was convicted the judge had a choice to give a camera or no camera. They didn't give me a camera so to now require that I have one and have to pay more money for something that I didn't even have to have 2 years ago is ridiculous. The fact that no one has any details on how much more I have to pay is also ridiculous. So you want to put this unlawful equipment on my car and then tell me how much extra I have to pay. What if I can not afford that? It just seems that the state of Virginia is more interested in receiving money instead of actually rehabilitating citizens that have made mistakes.
