Tampering means an attempt to physically disable, disconnect, adjust, or otherwise alter the proper operation of an ignition interlock device, including the camera, in any way that allows the motor vehicle to be started without the driver providing his or her own breath sample into the ignition interlock device, or allows a driver with a BrAC at or above the set point to start the engine, or prevents a photograph of the driver.
