De Pere, WI asked in DUI / DWI for Wisconsin

Q: How can I get having ignition interlock removed from my court order seeing I already did it?

I was a MI resident and got a DUI in a neighboring WI town in 2011. My license was revoked and then I had interlocking ignition installed with a restricted license. I got my MI license fully reinstated. Now 8 years later moved to WI and they want me to put interlocking ignition on my car for that offense in 2011. I already had to have it put on for my DUI offense to get my license back . Why do I have to do it again? Who can help me get this removed from my record so I don’t have to have it done twice for the same offense.

A: There are steps you must take to satisfy the requirements Wisconsin imposed at the time of the conviction. I would need further information regarding the length of time Wisconsin ordered the Ignition Interlock Device to be installed vs how long Michigan required the device on your vehicle to determine if any credit was applied or is due. Feel free to contact my office for to discuss this more in depth.
