New Cameras Required in 2013

Starting January 1, 2013, Washington Ignition Interlock Devices will start taking pictures once the device is used. The new feature is intended to prevent those drivers who attempt to circumvent the purpose of the device by having someone else blow into it. The Washington State Patrol believe that drivers routinely have other people blow into the device.

An Ignition Interlock Device is a piece of equipment that prevents a car from starting unless a breath sample is taken and tests negative for alcohol. It is court ordered after a DUI conviction or ordered by the Department of Licensing even if the person was never convicted of a DUI, but has been determined to have been driving while intoxicated pursuant to a DUI traffic stop. An ignition interlock device is also a way for a driver to continue driving while their license has been suspended for a DUI, so long as they obtain an Ignition Interlock License.

Tampering with an Ignition interlock device is a gross misdemeanor in the state of Washington.

Requirements for an Ignition Interlock License are found here.

by GC on Kris Carrasco Attorney at Law

Out of State Restraining Order

I was in a horrible situation where the mother of my son had me arrested on false claims so she could kidnap our son and move to Washington from California. She filed a restraining order when she got to Washington, listing our son as a protected party and claimed I had been abusive to her and him, writing a statement filled with lies and stories going back many years. She went so far as to have her family members, whom had never left Washington submit statements as well. The whole thing was disturbing and as a result I wasn't able to see my son for months. Kris didn't get dragged into arguing the meritless claims she made but instead focused on the actual law. Washington did not have jurisdiction over me and as a result a restraining order was not legal. A temp judge granted the restraining order and Kris made the judge explain on the stand multiple times how Washington had jurisdiction. She could not. He filed a motion for reconsideration shortly after outlining case law and making it clear that the temp judge had made a mistake. A commissioner reviewed and granted the motion for reconsideration. As a result, I was able to be reunited with my son, 102 days later. Kris is an amazing lawyer and I can't thank him enough for what he did for me and my son. Don't hesitate to hire him.
