Ignition Interlock Restriction Violation Alleged

The Clearwater County Jail entry identifies the offense as a violation of driver’s license restrictions under Minnesota Statute 171.09, subdivision 1(g).

Under this law, a person holding a qualifying restricted driver’s license is prohibited from operating or being in physical control of a motor vehicle that is not equipped with a functioning, state-certified ignition interlock device.

What Is an Ignition Interlock Device?

An ignition interlock device is a breath-testing system connected to a vehicle’s ignition.
