This petition asks for nothing more than to arm offenders with information they should have anyway.  If an ASAP client is accused of a violation, they should have all the evidence being used against them, to include at the very least, the interlock data logs as the vendor recorded them.  

I have every confidence the Commissioners will deny this petition as they have every previous petition submitted by this petitioner over roughly the past three years.  The question is why?  The staff will likely try to convince the Commissioners that the current system is adequate and that no changes are needed.  The staff would be wrong.

The only way to hold a case manager accountable for an interlock violation is to FORCE them by statute to give the evidence ( interlock data logs) to the client so that the client can understand why they are being accused.  It needs to be mandated and automatic in order to treat every client equally across the state, while promoting program transparency.  It should not be a choice for any particular ASAP to follow this policy.  Every accused client should have the same opportunity to defend themselves.

Please approve this petition, giving ASAP clients accused of an interlock violation automatic access to their interlock data logs without having to ask for them.  Thank you.

Respectfully,
