Hey everyone,
I am moving to the state of New Mexico from Pennsylvania. I believe that they have a requirement in place where I'll need an ignition interlock device installed due to a DUI on my PA driving record from 7 years ago. Since then my driving record is spotless. How can NM punish me for a crime that has already been served? Is there anyway around this?
One scenario I can think of that makes this seem really unfair is say you're a New Mexico resident. You get a DUI 7 years ago and fulfill your punishment. You then move out of state to Texas. You get a Texas driver's license, etc. 6 years later you move back to New Mexico and go to apply for a New Mexico driver's license again. Will they still require an ignition interlock device for a year even though the incident occurred in New Mexico originally?
Overall it's just embarrassing and I don't see the purpose for this law. I could understand if they add the DUI to my NM driver's record so that a subsequent occurrence would result in tier 2 punishment. However, punishing someone a 2nd time for a crime that has already been served seems unfair.
