VASAP has once again failed at protecting innocent citizens. 

The State now understands all the ignition interlock devices are pure science fantasy. 

They’re not alcohol specific. Not just Alcolock, but every single one of the devices cannot meet the standard of the law. 

Now on top of that fraud, lies another. Working hand and hand, IID companies and ASAP can defraud citizens by eliminating the yellow warning light. 

In the little window where a warning light should appear between .00 and .02 there’s nothing but a green light. 

The customer is fraudulently led to believe they’ve reached “zero” and the IID reads Start Car, and the print out says PASS.

So the IID says PASS, and ASAP says VIOLATION. You didn’t get to zero!

I know Alcolock is 100% guilty of this, but I suspect all the vendors may be omitting the yellow caution light. 

Having a functional yellow light would prevent a lot of ASAP violations, and it would mean a lot more work for already overburdened case managers (they’d have to actually study readings). 

I’ve seen three peoples’ readings where they’ve been accused by ASAP of “not reaching zero”, when indeed, they reached a passing .017, and a subsequent .012 pass. They have a pending court case.

How would they know they needed to keep providing samples when they passed already and are driving the vehicle?

This is flat out fraudulent. 

Any vendor who isn’t providing green, yellow (between .00 and .02) and red indicators or three similar notifications, is working hand in hand with ASAPs to defraud clients to extend their 6 month interlock time. 

One more reason every single “violation” needs to go to court.

Because right now, all that exists is a violation farm that keeps people in the indefensible loop. 

It’s pretty hard to know you’re being screwed when you DON’T see something. How would anyone know? I’ll tell you one ASAP employee who knows. Kim Barcliff of Peninsula ASAP knows. How many people is she still being allowed to violate? 

Oh my! You didn’t reach zero in 15 minutes? VIOLATION. Restart your 6 months. 

Absence of the caution message is a disgusting fraud. Please change the wording of the statute to ensure the contracted vendors are following the law. 

If the IIDs can’t meet standards, (which none can) they need to be removed from Virginians’ cars. IID is fraud upon fraud and I’m relying on the Commission to grow a collective backbone and recognize the depravity and lack of ethics plaguing the entire IID program. Even though the administrators try their best, the Virginia IID program is built on lies and has zero integrity.
