N.C.P.I.—Crim. 271.81
TAMPERING WITH IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICE-ALTERING TESTING RESULTS ON IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICE. MISDEMEANOR.
The defendant has been charged with tampering with an ignition
interlock device.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, you must prove
two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant [tampered with] [circumvented]
[attempted to circumvent] an ignition interlock device required to be
installed on a motor vehicle;
And Second, that the defendant acted for the purpose of altering
the [testing results received] [results in the process of being received]
from the ignition interlock device.1
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the crime was committed that the defendant
[tampered with] [circumvented] [attempted to circumvent] an ignition
interlock device required to be installed on a motor vehicle, and that the
defendant acted for the purpose of altering the [testing results received]
[results in the process of being received] from the ignition interlock
device, it would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you do not
so find or have a reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things,
then it would be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
