Is your license valid and everything? >> Yeah. >> All right, Ms. Sands, >> Mhm. >> you stand over here for me, face me. All right, Ms. Sands, like I said, the reason I asked you to step out of the vehicle is based on some observations I made of your driving and while talking to you, I'm a little concerned about your sobriety. I want to make sure it's safe for you to be driving. >> Okay. >> Now, do you suffer from any kind of medical problems I might need to be aware of? Are you diabetic? >> No. >> Do you take insulin? >> Mhm. >> Do you have seizures? >> Mhm. >> High blood pressure?

Let's try that again. I need to keep your head completely still. >> Sorry. I have a >> All right, you can relax. All right, Ms. Sands, listen, I'm seeing some indications in your eyes that's causing some concern. So, what I'd like to do is continue our investigation and ask that you perform some additional field sobriety exercises. That will consist of you walking a line and standing on one leg. Do you have any injuries or physical defects that would prevent you from being able to walk a line or stand on one leg? >> That's a >> Okay. Are you willing to do those exercises for me? >> I guess. >> Okay. Um So, we can use the roadway right here. Um just stand right here behind your car.

Can you stand on that on the end of that piece of tape? Just hold it down for me with your foot. All right, you can step off of it now. >> The infamous two drinks defense is about to be tested. The officer moves to the walk and turn. Pay attention. This isn't just a balance test. It's a listening test. Can she follow complex instructions while managing her body? If she starts too soon or misses a step, the investigation is essentially over. >> I'm not going to try to trick you or surprise you. It is important though that you follow my instructions exactly. So, if there's anything about these instructions that you don't understand, just make sure you ask questions when I give you the chance. >> Okay. >> Do you understand so far? >> Yes. >> Okay. Now, I know this sounds like a silly question, but I have to ask. Do you know your right from your left? Show me your left hand. Okay, good. Here's what I want you to do right now, okay? Go ahead and take your left foot, place it directly on the line at the beginning of the line. Now, take your right foot and place it in front of your left foot touching heel to toe. Next, put your hands all the way down at your side touching your legs. Then, stay in that position and don't do anything else until I tell you to. Do you understand so far? I need a yes or no from you. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Now, when I tell you to, you're going to take nine heel-to-toe steps down the line, turn around like I'm about to show you, and then take nine heel-to-toe steps back. I'm going to demonstrate. It's going to look just like this. From the starting position, I want you to start walking with your back foot. While looking down at your feet, count each step out loud as you walk like this. 1 2 3 and so on until you get to 9. Once you get to 9, keep your front foot on the line. You're going to take your back foot off and use your back foot to take a series of steps around your front foot to turn around. Once you've turned around, take nine heel-to-toe steps back. Again, looking down at your feet and counting each step out loud as you walk like this. 1 2 3 and so on until you get to 9. Make sure every step touches heel to toe. Keep your hands down at your side the entire time. Don't step off the line and don't stop walking till you complete the entire exercise. Do you understand the instructions? I need a yes or no from you. >> Yes, sir. >> Do you have any questions? All right, ma'am. If you don't have any questions and you think you understand, whenever you're ready, you may begin. >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 >> All right, go ahead and relax. >> Turn around. >> All right, stand on top of that white Turn and face my car. All right, I want you to stand with your feet all the way together, hands all the way down at your side touching your legs. Stay in that position. Don't do anything else until I tell you to. Do you understand so far? Now, when I tell you to, you're going to raise one foot, either foot of your choice, about 6 in off the ground with your foot parallel to the ground. Now, 6 in is about that high. It's about the height of a soda can. I'm going to demonstrate for you. It's going to look just like this. Either foot of your choice about 6-in high. Notice how my foot is parallel with the ground. Both legs are straight. Hands all the way down at your side touching your legs. Then we're looking while looking down at your raised foot. I want you to count out loud like this. 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, and so on until I tell you to stop. Don't raise your arms for balance. Don't hop. Don't sway, and don't put your foot down. >> Okay. >> Do you understand those instructions? >> Yes, sir. >> Do you have any questions about the instructions? >> Yes, sir. >> All right, ma'am. If you don't have any questions and you think you understand, whenever you're ready, you may begin. Keep your foot parallel to the ground. Make sure you're looking at your foot. Keep going.
