Q: Can ALEA overide a judges order

I received a DUI almost 10 years ago to the day that I received a second DUI I went before the judge my lawyer said it was best to plead guilty (court appointed) I did. I did everything I was ordered to do no infractions what so ever and had a Interlock device in my car until it was deemed totaled by insurance. Contacted the place the device came from and was told that I no longer needed the device per the judges order which they emailed me a copy. Does AlEA override that judges order on my interlock device and my license.

A: Can you clarify your question? What do you mean by ALEA overriding the judges order? Are you referring to them removing a restriction from your license or have they indicated they believe you still require a interlock device regardless of the judges order?

If the judges order for use of the interlock device has terminated and ALEA is telling you that you are still required to have one, you should contact an attorney about filing something with the court to get that issue cleared up. (if you have not paid all of your fees associated with the interlock, court costs, and restitution that may be an issue.)
