Since disabling the vehicle remotely is kinda the express intention of this device

Uhhh nope, there's no reason for a remote connection.

Interlocks are for people who have had a DUI, by your logic ankle monitors should not be able to be accessed remotely.

Don't break the law If you don't want to be monitored by the state.

Yes I am actually aware, thanks.

Ankle monitors monitor location. Interlock devices monitor intoxication levels, and locally send a signal to the vehicle about whether it's ok to drive. The difference should be obvious.

Spoken like someone never targeted by LE.

Nope because I live somewhere that isn't a police state.
