You have your ID with you? Can I see it? Just you know, everything's being audio recorded, okay? >> She does not deny anything. She does not ask why she got pulled over. She just starts shrinking the situation. She lives right there. She is not going to drive anywhere. The officer is not interested in any of that. He just wants her ID. >> So I actually So I live down the street from here. >> Where do you live? >> Like right there. >> Where did you guys come from? >> No, like we've been staying right here.

This is so crazy because this has never happened to me and I feel like just because I'm a Latina, it's happening to me. >> First thing I notice is the car. I don't notice the people who are driving. It's dark out. It's 1:00 in the morning. It's 1:00 in the morning. I'm Hispanic as well. You noticed it right away as I walked up. I know. I'm I'm out here. You're inside the car.

We can go to the train depot where it's nice and warm. Put you through the exercises. If you show no signs of impairment, I'll bring you back. You go home. Okay? Is that something you're willing to do? >> Listen to what he is offering. He could run her through field sobriety tests right here in the cold parking lot. Instead, he is telling her, "Get in the car. We go somewhere warm. You pass. I bring you home." This is the exit ramp. She has one chance. >> My car is >> Do you want to know how much I earn a year? >> I honestly >> You probably don't give a [ __ ] >> A cop is [music] investigating you for drunk driving, and your move is to bring up your salary? That is not a defense. >> But I don't really give a [ __ ] I want you to give a [ __ ] Because I see you around the streets. I see you.
