A bipartisan group of Minnesota lawmakers wants to ban state agencies from tracking the location of D-W-I offenders who have ignition interlock devices on their vehicle.  Republican Representative Peggy Scott from Andover says

 

Scott says the state Public Safety Department argues that real-time reporting from ignition interlock devices will discourage repeat drunk driving.  But Scott says she doesn’t want agencies collecting data on the location of individuals — which she says may be unconstitutional.
