Oh yeah. They have the breathalyzer systems. After you get I believe three DUI’s you are required to have one if you have a vehicle registered in the state. If you just don’t have a vehicle registered in your name then you can get the clock started and wait for it to run out. Then you can register a vehicle in your name without one.

People who own a vehicle just register it in someone else’s name so they don’t have to have the system installed and pay for it.

This is not entirely accurate.

There is a tiered guideline that is used to determine whether or not an interlock is required and the length if time from the previous dui is also a factor.

It doesn't matter if the offender has a car or not, if it is ordered that the offender have an interlock installed and an interlock endorsement, they are not allowed to operate the vehicle, regardless of ownership.

Of the offender gets caught driving while under suspension or without an interlock device installed on the vehicle they are operating or without the endorsement, it's mandatory jail time.
