WHY SHOULD I ORDER THE M-1 INSTALLED IN A PROBATIONERS
|
HERE'S WHY:
DWI is the most frequently committed violent crime in the U.S. Over 1.4 million people are arrested each year for Drunk Driving. Of the arrested, more than 900,000 of them are repeat offenders. Concurrently, more than 16,650 people were killed nationally in crashes involving alcohol, which represents 40% of the 41,821 people killed in all traffic crashes, while an unprecedented 3,189,000 were reported injured or had their vehicles/property damaged. More than 30,000 of them will suffer permanent physical and mental disabilities. Drunk Driving has claimed the lives of our children, parents, spouses, relatives and friends. In the last two years alone, the outrage of senseless deaths and injuries caused by alcohol related crashes has risen dramatically, especially in high school and college students. Victims range from local town residents to major sports celebrities, doctors, lawyers, even a princess. Economic costs of alcohol related accidents are estimated to be over $49 billion annually, with an additional 101.5 billion lost to pain, suffering and quality of life, raising the total to a staggering $150.5 billion each year.
According to statistics, alcohol impaired drivers who are arrested have an average blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .20%, which is more than double the level set for legal intoxication. However, this next statistic is perhaps the most disturbing and most specific reason for all magistrates to order an interlock installed in a convicted probationers vehicle. "The relative risk of being killed, or involved in a crash where the drivers BAC is .08% to .10% is anywhere between 11 and 52 times greater than drivers at 0.00% (no alcohol) And as the BAC gets higher, so does the risk. "And just as disturbing is the fact that although young adults between 16 and 24 years old comprise only 20% of the total licensed population, and represent 20% of the total vehicle miles traveled in the U.S. by all licensed drivers, they cause a staggering 42% of all fatal alcohol related crashes.
Frightening statistics?
You're right, they are, and something must be done about it now. These
statistics are a shocking enigma that can only be stopped by you, the
magistrates who enforce DWI laws. That's why
it is critical for you to choose the right interlock, and the exact reason the
M-1 is your best choice, it is in a class all by itself.
Thanks to cutting edge technology with features available only from Interceptor
Ignition Interlocks Inc, the M-1 is considered to be the Ultimate Weapon
in the War against Drunk Driving. Absolutely no other Ignition Interlock
manufacturer can offer all of the features that are standard on the M-1, because
they simply have not developed the technology for it yet. And even if they
started now, it would take years for them to catch up to the M-1, which is
available right now, for you to work with!
WHY WEREN'T INTERLOCKS EFFECTIVE IN THE PAST ?
The
Problem:
All
existing Interlocks and Anti - DWI programs including counseling, education,
suspension of driving privileges, license revocation and even jail time, have
had at best, a marginal effect on the prevention of Drunk Driving. This
statement is supported by the 43% second time conviction rate nationally! In
the case if Ignition Interlocks the answer is quite simple, the technology is
antiquated, (over 25 years old) and no interlock manufacturer has committed
their resources into developing new technology.. Until Now! Interceptor's
engineering team spent 3 years researching and developing the next generation of
Ignition Interlocks, the M-1 by Interceptor Ignition Interlocks.
We started by identifying the major complaints among judges and probation personnel alike. This was done through a comprehensive survey, not only to identify the problems, but to also learn of non-existing features that they wanted in an Ignition Interlock, (a wish list) and why these features were so important to them.
Here's what judges and probation personnel had to say:
The reason these features are so important to them are quite simple. Judges are hesitant to order interlocks as a condition of probation, due to all of the deaths, injury and property damage that has occurred in the past 2 decades with interlock use, as a direct result of probationers circumventing the interlock, and may I add quite easily, with all other interlock equipment. Secondly, there was never a way to identify the driver, making it easy for the probationer to deny operating their vehicle when a violation was recorded. And last but not least, there was no method of enabling police intervention during a violation. Needless to say, magistrates had a very low confidence level in the Interlock program in general. This needed to be changed... and it needed to be changed now! And that's exactly what we did. By combining positive identification, live vehicle tracking, automatic downloading and police intervention, we have provided decisive and uncontestable proof that the Interlock program when properly managed, combined with cutting edge technology [available only on the M-1] will significantly reduce Deaths, Bodily Injury and Property Damage. Subsequently the M-1 will dramatically boost the confidence level of Judges and DWI Enforcement Personnel regarding Interlock Use throughout the United States!
The Interceptor Solution:
Interceptor has remedied this situation with the introduction of the M-1,
which has virtually filled the entire wish list (and
then some) of Judges and Probation Personnel alike. For example, Circumvention
is virtually non-existent. After all who in their right mind (or not) will try
to circumvent the M-1, knowing full well that their picture is being taken and
sent immediately to probation each and every time of use (automatic
downloading.) Additionally, the M-1 is totally voice instructed. This means
motorists never have to take their eyes off of the road to watch lights in order
to operate their vehicle, as they have to do in every other Interlock. As for
Live Vehicle Tracking 24 hours per day, every day, well that alone says it all.
These standard features of the M-1 make driving safer, thereby creating safer
roads and fewer accidents. Just another by-product of Interceptor's technology!
Furthermore, Judges can rest assured that if a probationer commits a violation, (BAC higher than the set point) that violation along with the drivers picture is immediately recorded, downloaded, automatically sent to the enforcing probation department and simultaneously reported to the local police for interception via live operator and live vehicle tracking as it occurs, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every week!
Images of the person using the M-1 are recorded and sent to probation as they
occur, thereby thwarting circumvention.
The Vehicle Tracking feature which is a
standard feature of the M-1, allows police officers to intercept the targeted
vehicle and apprehend the driver, before they cause an accident What a
concept!!!
Furthermore, Armed with the M-1 as a tool to aid in the prevention of Drunk Driving, NOW YOU, THE MAGISTRATE, CAN HAVE COMPLETE AND TOTAL CONFIDENCE IN ORDERING THE M-1 INSTALLED IN A CONVICTED PROBATIONER'S VEHICLE,
ENABLING YOU TO PREVENT THIS...
WHILE ACCOMPLISHING THIS...
A MUCH BETTER OUTCOME!
Vehicle Tracking, Positive Identification, Voice Instruction and Automatic Downloading, as well as many of the other standard features that were pioneered and patented by Interceptor's engineering and management team, are exclusive to the M-1 Ignition Interlock only. In addition, all of the features that are standard on the M-1 were at the top of the Judges and Probation Personnel's wish list, and are a tremendous confidence booster for them. No other Ignition Interlock manufacturer in existence can offer all of the features that the M-1 can, because they simply don't have them!
Additionally, the M-1 has successfully passed the rigorous National Highway Traffic Safety Administration testing regiment, (NHTSA) as per the Federal Register Protocol which is required for state certification, and is available right now!
Interceptor Ignition Interlocks Inc. is the only interlock manufacturer that offers all of these cutting edge features in one product, at a low cost of only $90 per month!
