Many criminal courts critical of alcohol lock

Criminal courts are increasingly critical of the alcohol lock of the Central Bureau of driver's licenses (CBR).They think the measure is too strict, and in some cases even lower penalties on drunk drivers, reported De Telegraaf on Monday. Michiel Boer of the Council for the Judiciary responds there has long been criticism among judges on the alcohol lock. Guardian_Interlock

Judges feel put offside, according to Boer. The driver's level of income or whether he or she needs the car for work is insufficiently taken into account, according to the judges. A criminal court in Alkmaar recently disagreed with the fact that a driver had to have a alcohol lock installed for 5,000 euros, even before the case appeared before court. The judge dismissed the Public Prosecuter's demand to impose a fine of 650 euros and a month license suspension. It remains to be seen whether other judges in Alkmaar will follow, according to Boer.
