Q: Can I remove someone else's interlock from my car? Their name is no longer on the title
My ex did not follow up with the calibration of the device, and will not complete the steps to have it removed from the vehicle. However their name is no longer associated, in any way, to the vehicle. I am making the payments on this truck, and can not even start it because the device has been locked out due to not keeping up with mo they calibrations. If I remove the device, what legal repercussions will I, or my ex face?
A:
You can remove the interlock. I would send the bill to my Ex.
You have no obligations to him or the court. Therefore, you can remove the device from YOUR vehicle.
Your Ex needs to update the court and/or the probation department about his vehicle status.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
