From the blog of Garth Brooks, former prosecuting attorney and former DUI defense attorney:
"Currently, the crime of DUI does not have an element of “INTENT” Prosecutors do not need to prove the defendant intended to drive under the influence. However, if every car was required to have an Interlock Device, and an individual was caught Driving Under the Influence because they disconnected their Interlock, that would be clear evidence the individual intentionally committed DUI. Such conduct could become a felony requiring a five year minimum prison term. DUI would be nearly eradicated in the United States."
