The Future Of New Jersey DWIs: AI, Automated Enforcement, And Upcoming Legislative Changes

New technologies are always quickly integrated into law enforcement work, so it is important to think about the role they might play. This article does just that for Driving While Intoxicated charges in New Jersey, including:

• How AI might be integrated into DWI work.
• Possible legal pitfalls and benefits to increased AI use in law enforcement.
• Other new or upcoming legislation that will impact DWI charges.

Is AI Ready To Be Integrated Into DWI Enforcement?

At the speed at which Artificial Intelligence is being developed, we are almost ready for its integration into DWI law enforcement.

Current literature indicates that some body camera companies have employed AI programming to assist the officer in writing a report. Based on available information, AI is apparently able to take into account video and audio footage and put together a report for an arresting officer who would presumably need to review the report for accuracy before submitting it.

While such AI applications may cause reduced officer attentiveness when writing up police reports, this technology could also help preserve evidence and help identify any inaccurate testimony offered by police.

Are There Any Major Recent Or Upcoming Changes To DWI Laws In New Jersey?

There is a new potential law, Bill A5411, that has made its way through the New Jersey legislature and may be signed soon, that will eliminate driving license suspensions, provided you agree to have an interlock device installed in your vehicle.

This bill, if signed into law by the Governor, will no doubt be an interesting development for DWI defense in New Jersey and can make retaining driving privileges much easier for those facing DWI charges.
