Forensic analysis of alcohol interlock data – Forensic documentation of alcohol immobilisers
Alcohol interlock systems prevent a vehicle from starting if a specified breath alcohol level is exceeded, and usually record the tests carried out, including the time and the result.
This data may be relevant for the forensic documentation of compliance with conditions imposed under reintegration programmes or court orders.

How an alcohol interlock test works
Once the data has been backed up, the available test reports are extracted, organised chronologically and checked for anomalies such as attempts at tampering or omitted tests.
Why is the alcohol interlock test relevant in a forensic context?
Comprehensive documentation of tests carried out can be of crucial importance for compliance with legal or regulatory requirements.
