Answer 1

Don't think they have that law.  If someone's requiring you to get it, you should have tons of proof and then see if the gov. can pay for it or something.  

Ohio is dumb.  Esp if you're talking about the state troopers.  They're really stupid.  

If you're in trouble for DUI/DWI, first of all you just got unlucky.  Get yourself a good lawyer and get it off your record and you'll be gravy.

Answer 2

Here is a basic factsheet about Ohio DUI laws:

http://www.bmv.ohio.gov/driver_license/d...

You will want to take a look at 2951.02(C)(1) of the Ohio Revised Code (http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2951.02). It states in part, "If an offender is convicted of a violation of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code [the DUI law]...the court may require, as a condition of a community control sanction...that the offender operate only a motor vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device..."

Hope this helps!
