1. Hernandez Law Office: BAIID Device: Friend or Foe?... or Monitoring Device Driving Permit my new best friend? Before the Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP) was created a driver who had temporarily lost his/her driving privileges as the result of a Statutory Summary Suspension could obtain relief by obtaining a Judicial Driving Permit (JDP). The difficulties for such drivers were many. A JDP could only be granted to driver who had a fixed work schedule and a fixed work site. In theory the restrictions were meant to give the driver limited driving privileges however many drivers were in elgible for the relief of a JDP. The MDDP is a new privilege which is not without its own limitations. The MDDP also has many restrictions which are detailed below MDDP Restrictions: * If you are under the age of 18 you are not eligible for an MDDP. * You are only elgible for a MDDP if you are deemed to be a first-time offender as defined by the Secretary of State. (i.e. a driver who has not received a previous statutory summary suspension, has not been convicted of DUI or assigned court supervision for DUI in Illinois, or has not been convicted of DUI in another state within five years.) * Your license must have been otherwise valid in order to obtain an MDDP. * You are inelgible for an MDDP if a death or great bodily harm resulted from the DUI arrest * You are inelgible for an MDDP if you have previously been convicted of reckless homicide or aggravated DUI that resulted in a death. * An MDDP will only allow the holder of a commercial driverŐs license to drive noncommercial vehicles. * An MDDP will not allow you to drive a commercial vehicle if you are a holder of a commercial driver's license. Other important MDDP facts: * If you are granted an MDDP your driving privileges are not effective until the 31st day of your suspension. * You will be required to use an Illinois certified BAIID provider to install/monitor your BAIID device on any vehicle you will be driving during your SSS. ****If you are found guilty of driving a car without a BAIID device during your SSS you will be found guilty of a Class 4 Felony.

Kane County prosecutors take drunk driving charges seriously. They are not likely to look at your professional resume and drop the charges.
