San Diego DUI Defense: San Diego Saved from First Time Ignition Interlock Requirements in DUI cases.

San Diego Dui Offenders will be spared the requirement of installing Ignotion Interlock Devices in their cars if they are convicted of a first offense.

Governor Swartzenegger signed a bill requiring first time offenders in Sacramento, Alameda, Tuare and Los Angeles counties to install ignition interlock devices.

What is so strange about this bill is that it omits the majority of counties, including San Diego, Orange, Riverside, etc...

We can expect a substantial equal protection challenge from criminal defense attorneys in the counties where this requirement takes effect in January.
