So, like I just explained, >> I know you want me to walk on this crooked line, >> but I also don't >> Just use it as a guide. It's >> It's just a reference point. Okay. Go. >> While you're doing this, I'd like you to look down at your feet. Count each of your steps out loud. Keep your arms down to your side. And once you start walking, don't stop. Okay? Is there anything you'd like me to clarify before you get started? So, I have this walk and turn and then I have a one leg stand after this. Okay? I want to make sure you fully understand you don't have any questions before you get started. So I just have to >> that's that's the only reason why I'm upset is because if something but if I do something one thing wrong in this test I know what's going to happen and I know that my dog that's like so if like just so you know if you refuse to perform the field sobriety test you're forcing me to make a decision based on my observations up until this point. Okay. Additionally should you be charged with DUI this refusal can be used against you in court. No. >> So, I just want to get that out there. >> I understand that. I'm just And I'm just telling you right now >> that I'm thinking about the my dogs eat in a few hours for breakfast. My dogs are used to me coming home every night. There's nobody that I know.

I understand. >> Yeah. Like I >> I this is simply here to make sure you're good to drive. Okay. >> Yes. I understand. No, I understand that. It's just making me >> The faster we get this over with us, the faster we can move on to the next portion. Okay. >> Making me nervous. It just makes me nervous cuz I feel like I'm incriminating like >> Well, I I I can't force you to do this. >> Incriminating myself. >> I can't force you to do this. Okay. >> Cuz obviously like you know what type of mindset I like. Okay, cool. But like >> I just feel like I'm just thinking about the worst case scenario right now. >> Mhm. >> And I know my dogs >> Yeah. >> And my dogs are in your apartment right now by themselves. It just freaks me. I'm not someone that like leaves our dogs unattended. I'm not someone that I'm someone that takes their dogs to the dog park every day. I'm someone that is a good [ __ ] person. Like >> Yeah. I don't think otherwise. I never said you're a bad person. >> No, I I No, I don't really understand what you're I get it. I'm just thinking in my head that >> it's just like all these tests are it's just >> they're not pass or failation. >> Okay. But like I said, I can't force you to do it. But if you're whenever you're ready. Okay. These tests present a minute. Do not pass or fail. Okay. Like I said, I can't force you to do it, but Okay. Whenever you're ready. Okay. Whenever you're ready. Okay. >> Once you get into that. Yeah. So, the first step, that's one. >> That's going to be your first step. So that's my first car. Oh, wait. Hold on. >> From that starting position. So yeah, stand just like how I'm standing. Okay. So >> So this is one though. >> That's not So this is the starting position, that first step you take is going to be one. >> Okay. >> Do you have any other questions? >> So you may begin whenever you're ready. Okay. 1 2 3 1 2 3 6 2 3 6 Yes, ma'am. This is how I demonstrated Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. All right. So, we're done with this. Don't worry about the line. If you want to come over here, I have one more test for you. It's the one leg stand. Okay. So, the first thing I'd like you to do is stand with your feet together, arms down to your side. All right? I would just like you to stand like that until I tell you to begin. Do you understand? Once I tell you to begin, you're going to raise either foot, whichever one you feel most comfortable with. Okay? It's going to look just like this approximately. >> I know. I know. It's like, oh my god. I never am like once in Okay. >> Yeah. Whatever foot you'd like. Okay. It's going to be 6 in off the ground like this. Legs straight, arms down to your side, and you're going to look down at your foot. You're going to count out loud. 1,00 1,002 10003. >> Like 1 2 3 or 1,00. >> Just like how I explained 1,00 1,002. Just continue to count like that until I tell you to stop. If you happen to drop your foot like this, which I don't want you to do, how just continue to count like that until I tell you to stop. If you happen to drop your foot like this, I don't want you. Just continue to count like that until I tell you to stop. If you happen to drop your foot like this, I don't want your time. I'm going to start my stopwatch. >> Notice the strategy here. She attempts to pre-explain potential failure by citing weightlifting and gym equipment for her lack of balance. In field sobriety tests, officers aren't just looking for physical stumbles. They are watching for the inability to follow instructions and the need to constantly negotiate. Is this a valid medical explanation or a nervous attempt to control the narrative? >> That's it. All right. 100,00 1,002 1003 100 4005 1006 1007 1008 1009 100 >> Stop. All right. So, if you want to come back to the front of my cruiser, I have a couple questions I would like to ask you before um I pulled you over. Um my questions are very direct, so I do need to advise you of your rights, okay? Before I proceed with asking you any questions. Um so, you do have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer, have him or her present with you while you're being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you. You can decide any time to exercise these rights, not answer any questions, or make any statements. Do you understand each of these rights I've explained you? Having those rights in mind, would you like to speak with me? >> Um, I don't know where I stand. >> To be honest with you, I don't know where I stand with you. >> And so I don't like I don't know where your head space is at right now. >> Me? Uh, well, I just I would like to ask you questions, but I can't. Okay. >> Honestly, like at this point in time, this is my feeling. >> Of course, >> I would like to pull my car into this parking lot and just Uber home >> and go get my car >> tomorrow. >> If you want to arrest me, then I will pull my car over and I will just get in the [ __ ] car at this point. Just I'm not even going to [ __ ] Like, I'm not even going to this. ask you if you want to answer a question. >> No, I know. I understand it, but I don't know where her head like I don't know where >> tell you where her head is when she when she ask questions. >> I understand, sir. >> But it's it's cool. All right. So, what >> I answer whatever question that I feel comfortable answering. I don't know what questions you're going to about to ask me. >> So, I feel I know my rights. >> Yeah. >> So, you don't have to speak with me, you know, either way. It's up to you. >> Yeah. >> Are you willing to speak with me or no? >> I am willing to speak with you. >> Okay. Um, so where were you coming from before I pulled you over? >> Christ in St. Okay. Um, did you have dinner or like >> Yes. >> What kind of venue is it or restaurant? >> It's just a restaurant. I literally just had dinner with my >> Okay. Uh, what did you have to eat? >> Steak. >> Steak. >> Steak and French fries and oysters. Doesn't rack raw. >> Oh, that sounds good. Creme brulee for dessert. I know exactly what I eat. I love my food, honey. I love I love what I eat. The cream is I had a oysters raw. I had the steak fritters with a with a freaking French fries and ketchup. >> And then I had my creme brulee for dessert. >> That sounds good. That's probably my favorite dessert. >> Freaking And you know what? Like it's like I never treat. It was like a dinner that you just treat yourself. >> Is it like a celebratory dinner or is it just just because? >> It was like a we haven't gotten together in a while and it was just like a Yeah. >> Okay. >> Like a just because we both got raced at work recently and >> Oh, that's awesome. >> Yeah. Okay. >> And so it's just let's go out to eat and have a good meal. >> Okay.

All right. >> Okay. Um so what I'd like you to do is just face my windshield for me. All right. Just place your hands behind your back and rest for driving under the influence. my phone. >> Well, I I don't want you to drive any further. >> Um, everything right now. >> Yeah. >> My phone and my >> everything will get taken and given to you >> and then everything will work it out. >> If you want to um you're allowed to make three phone calls if you need to call a friend for your dog to come over to your apartment, but I don't know her number. >> Okay. That's going to go with you. Okay. you out with tonight to help you. >> Yeah, but I just need their mind to help. >> Okay. Do you have anything in your bra or anything? >> Okay. >> Um, how long will like the next? Um, so from here we're going to go down to the station for the breathalyzer. Okay. After the breathalyzer, you'll get transported up to Penllis County Justice Center. It's typically a minimum of eight hours from the time that you're arrested. So from the time now, you'll be released 8 hours from now. So you have a phone. Do you have a wallet in your purse that you'd like to go with you? How >> is my front seat and I would like to bring it? Yes, I would like to bring it with me. My my car key, my wallet, and my phone. >> They're all in the passenger front. >> Okay. Just come to this back side over here. Okay. >> We'll make sure everything goes with you.

We have to keep in mind >> I also think I'm going to have a I have to go cuz I came from college defense. If I have to go in general population, I will freak the like I don't know. >> I don't know how they're going to work up there. I I really >> I understand but I am I know those type of I've I've represented those. I cannot >> I don't know what their um policy is up there. I know you're going to get booked in. they'll get a a photo and then from there they'll make you change, but I'm not sure the housing or how they keep people typically. I'm sure if you raised your concern and ask the booking staff, it all depends on your attitude. I guess when you get up there, just ask them say, "Hey, can I get a separate um >> just ask I wouldn't hurt to ask, >> is it possible for me? My mom is out of state. >> My family like my friends, yeah, but they're pieces of shit." Like they're not friends that I would call to trust any day of the week with anything. >> Is it possible like for me? >> Mhm. >> Like how can I call my mom now?

We have to head out from here, but I'll I'll >> What's going to happen with my car?" >> And that is a wrap. Despite her legal training, the combination of erratic driving, bloodshot eyes, and a shifting story from aderall to 2.5 glasses of wine led to the inevitable cuffs.

Officer Barlo spots a white Sonata blowing a stop sign and clipping a curb. The driver claims she was just texting, but the officer spots signs of impairment immediately. Let's see if her one drink story holds up against the field sobriety tests. >> All right. You have your driver's license with you today? >> Any reason why you just completely blew that uh stop sign back here when you made the right turn? >> I'm so sorry. I have no idea. I was texting a friend that I'm meeting right here right now. >> Okay. And I was trying to get your attention. They was going to tell you to pay attention, but then you ignored me and you ran over curb.

Let me see what you got. >> I don't need that one. That's an old one. >> All right, Sandy. So, what I'm going to have you do is I'm going to have you step back here for just a moment. Okay. And when you open your door, just be careful. Don't hit it on the wall or anything like that. I don't want you to damage your car. >> What's that? >> Yeah, I know. All right. Come back over here for me. All right. Have you stand All right. Okay. So, here's the deal. I'm a little concerned about your sobriety tonight. So, I'm going to ask you to do some field exercises. Help me to determine whether or not you're driving on the top. Sure. >> You going to be willing to do these field exercises? >> Sure. Let me >> I'm sorry. No, we're we're not making any phone calls.

All right. Um, now for this, what we're going to do is we're going to be walking a straight line, stand on one foot. I'm going to give you the opportunity to take your shoes off.

Since there's not one here. So, all I'm going to have you do is just grab a hold of this. Don't do anything. >> Sandy removes her heels. A smart choice, but watch closely. This walk and turn is a divided attention test. She has to process the officer's instructions while maintaining physical balance. Starting too soon or missing heel totoe steps are key indicators of impairment here. >> I'm going to demonstrate those instructions for you. So, it's important you pay attention. Okay. >> All right. So, what we're going to do is we're going to use this blue tape we just put on the ground. I'm going to have you go ahead and place your left foot on this blue tape. >> Okay. All right. Go ahead and step backward just a little bit. Okay. Go ahead and put your put your left foot where your right foot is at now. >> Okay. Put your right foot in front of your left foot. >> All right. >> Say just like that. All right. Keep your right make sure that the heel of your right foot is touching the toe of your left foot.

Don't do anything until I tell you. Okay? >> You understand? >> When I tell you to begin, you're going to take nine heel to toe steps on this blue tape. When you reach nine, you're going to turn around and take nine heel to toe steps back on the blue tape. As you do this, keep your arms to your sides at all times. Look down at your feet and count out loud your steps. Now, it's going to look just like this. It's going to go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. When you reach nine and turn nope, when you reach nine and turn around, you're going to turn around by leaving your front foot on the line. Do not pick it up. Use your back foot. Take a series of small steps around your front foot like so. Once you've turned around, you'll take your nine heel to toe steps back. Again, counting out loud each of your steps. >> Once you begin, do not stop at any point until you complete the exercise. >> Okay? Remember to keep your arms to your side and look down at your feet as you do this. >> You understand? >> Do you have any questions? >> No. That's super cool. >> All right. You can begin anytime you're ready. Okay, I'm going to have you stand right here for me and I have you face me. All right, what you're going to do is put your feet together for me, just like this. Keep your arms to your side. Remain in this position. Don't do anything until I tell you. When I tell you to, you're going to raise one foot. Your choice. Raise that foot in front of you so the heels at least six inches off the ground. That's about the size of a soda can. All right. So, it's going to look just like this. Keep both legs straight. Keep your feet foot parallel to the ground. Keep your arms to your sides at all times. Look down at your raised foot. And you're going to count out loud. 1 10 1 2 1003 1004 100 five. And just keep going until I tell you to stop. If you put your foot down before I tell you to, you're just simply going to pick your foot back up. Continue to count from the number that you left off. I don't want you to put it down, but if you do, just pick it back up and keep going. Okay? But don't start yet. Do you understand? >> Yes. 100234. >> Right. Just keep going till I tell you to stop. All right. Any other questions? >> No. >> You understand the instructions? >> Yes, I do. >> Okay. All right. You can begin anytime you're ready. >> Whenever you're ready, we'll start. >> 100. >> Remember, look at your foot, not me. Look down at your foot, not me. >> 107 108 1090 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 >> Okay, you want to stop? Okay. All right. I'm going have you come up this way for me. right over here. Actually, if you want to go grab your shoes and go ahead and put your shoes back on. [snorts] >> All right, come back over here for me. All right. So, I'm going have you stand right here for me. Have you face towards my car? Turn around. Face that way. Take your hands out your pockets. Drop them down to your side. Okay. There you go. All right. Ma'am, at this time, you are going to be arrest for driving me alcohol tonight. >> Yes, ma'am. >> I have only have one. >> Okay.

If you have a prior refusal, as well as if you do have a prior refusal, and you refuse again, you could be charged with another misdemeanor offense. Okay? I'll explain all that to you a little bit greater detail when we get there and give you the opportunity to think about it. Okay? All right.

It's late night in Tampa and Officer Bar is investigating a minor collision where a driver backed into a patrol car. What starts as a routine discussion about a crash report is about to pivot when signs of impairment surface. Watch how a simple parking lot accident spirals into a serious confrontation. >> Hello. >> Hi. How are you? >> Good. How are you doing? >> I'm fine. Yourself? >> What's your first name? >> Elsie. >> Elsie. Okay. There's an officer bar. Obviously, these officers called me here because they concerned maybe you had something to drink tonight. >> That was probably maybe more than two hours ago. >> Oh, was it? >> Yes. >> What did you have? >> Um, I took maybe half a beer. >> That was it? >> That was it? >> Okay. Are you on any medication? >> No, sir. >> Okay. Do you mind stepping out for me? Come on over here. >> Do you have any uh anything like physically wrong with you? Like any uh injuries, anything wrong with like your legs, your back, your knees? Nope. >> And you said you're not on any medications right now. >> You're perfectly healthy. Then >> I'm healthy. I have anxiety, but besides that, I'm good. >> You on medication for that? >> I not tonight. I only take it when needed. >> Okay. Do you wear contacts? >> I wear glasses. >> All right. Can you stand with your feet together like this? Arms down at your side. What I'd like to do is begin by checking your eyes as part of some field exercises. >> Okay. >> You see the red light here in front of you? >> Absolutely. What I want you to do is follow that light with your eyes, keeping your head still as I move that light back and forth. Okay? Keep your head still. Try to get your head up. Okay. There's a couple other exercises I'd like you to do. Okay. You want to do those for me? >> Absolutely. >> All right. Come on down here. So, we'll use this white line right here as a line to walk down. >> I'm going to give you some instructions. I'll show you how to do it. >> Okay? >> And then after I do all of that, you can ask questions. Okay? I just prefer that you don't ask questions while I'm giving the instructions because it's kind of hard for me to stop. All right? >> So, while I'm doing all of that, what I would like you to do is stand with your left foot at the very beginning of the line. Then take your right foot, place it in front of your left foot, so it touches heel to toe. Make sure both feet are on the line and one directly in front of the other. Place your arms to your side. Now, don't begin walking until I tell you to start. Okay? >> Okay? So, when I tell you to, I want you to take nine heel totoe steps, counting your steps out loud as you walk down the line. >> Okay? >> Turn around and then walk back down the line. Nine heel to toe steps, counting your steps out loud. >> Okay? >> So, your first step will be number one, and each step needs to be heel to toe like this. One, two, three, and so on until you get to nine. >> On your ninth step, I want you to leave your front foot on the line. Remove only your back foot, taking a series of small steps to complete a turn, just like this. And then you walk back down the line. Nine heel to toe steps counting your steps out loud. One, two, three, and so on until you get to nine. >> Okay. So straight down, slowly turn, come down. >> Exactly. >> Count out loud. >> Exactly. So >> is this one or is the next one? >> So your first step will be number one. >> This one. >> Your first step will be number one. >> Okay. So while you do this, I'd like you to look at your feet as you walk. Count your steps out loud. Keeping your arms down to your side just like this. Don't stop walking until you've completely finished this. >> Okay. Do you have any other questions? >> No. Straight down. Slow turn. Back to you. No questions. >> Okay. You can begin then if you understand. 1. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. 1. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. >> Okay. Next, what I want you to do is stand with your feet together, arms down to your side. You can forget about this line. We're not going to use it. Okay? I don't want you to do anything until I tell you right now. Okay? I'm just going to show you how to do this and explain everything. Okay? So, when I tell you to, I want you to raise one leg. Doesn't matter which one. And I'm going to raise my left leg just because that's what I like to do. Raise it so it's about 6 inches off of the ground. Point your toe straight out. Look at that foot and count out loud. 100 1 2 1 1003 and so on until I tell you to stop. Okay. Make sure you keep both legs straight. Don't bend them at the knee. >> And if you put your foot down, just pick it back up and continue counting from where you left off. >> You won't need to balance right now. Okay. >> Is that a problem? >> No, we're working out. Well, you see me doing it. >> You're a cop. >> Doesn't mean anything. >> Let's do it. >> All right. >> All right. >> Do you have any questions on how to do it? >> No. You just told me raise leg. So, you count. If I put my leg down, stop. So, you tell me. Keep counting. >> Well, if you put your if you put your foot down, I want you to pick it back up and continue counting um from where you left off. And you do that all on your up. Okay. >> Okay. 1. You want me to count by thousand? >> Yeah. 10001 10 1 10 1 10 1 10 1 10 1 10 1 10 1 10 1 10 1 10 1 1000 10002 etc. Any other questions? >> Nope. >> Okay. And begin when you're ready. >> Okay. >> 1001. >> Make sure you're looking at your foot. >> 2 1 3 1 1004 1006 1007 1008 1 9 1 >> Make sure you're looking at your foot. 1,456 2017 >> All right, you can stop. Go ahead and put your foot down. Put your arms around your back. >> DUI. >> What? >> Driving under the influence. Do >> you have anything? >> Well, you did the exercises. You just didn't perform them how I asked you to. There's a lot of exclusive impairment that I observed during that. Leads me to believe you've been drinking a lot more than you're telling me. When we get down to the jail, I am going to ask you to do a breath test. Are you willing to do that? >> Nope. >> All right. Come on. You don't have anything hidden on you, do you? >> Okay. Do you carry anything? Do you carry anything in your in your top? Any any cash? Any Okay, just make sure >> there was but okay. Stand right here. Come relax your arms. She's going to search you in just a second. Okay. >> I know. We got to make sure. No, don't impound my car. There's people in there that can drive it. No, >> we have to the car is in your name. We don't have a choice. >> But I have people in there. I don't even live over here. Like, >> that was a whole >> Do you want to hear what I have to say or not? >> No, because why? You want to impound my car for what? Like there's people in the car that can literally take my car where it needs to go. Like you guys have been extra. I barely even pumped that damn car. >> I've been more than >> Okay. >> respectful. No, cuz I've been more than respectful. And >> you have? I appreciate that. >> I don't No, but can we talk? >> Yeah, we can. Well, you said you didn't want to hear what I had to say. >> Well, let's listen to it because there's no way. I don't even live over here and have them impound my car. >> We have to by by our policy. We can't release people here. >> I'm trying to tell you. I'm trying to tell you. >> Have a seat. You don't want to listen to me. So, >> I'll bring you. >> Don't get an attitude. >> I have an attitude. No, because you know what? I've been sit in Sit in the car. Sit in the car. Sit in the car or I'm going to put you in the car. >> I'm sitting in the car and I'm trying to have a conversation. >> No, I'm trying to have >> Stand up. We're going to put you in this car if you don't listen. on the charge. >> Things just took a hard turn. The driver's frustration over the vehicle impound policy boils over instantly. Notice the physical kick as she's placed in the car. That one action just added a resisting with violence charge to her night. It's a textbook example of how quickly a verbal dispute can become a felony. I'll go see if she has any like wallet or phone. I won't take the whole purse. Uh just credit cards, nothing else. Credit cards, cash. I got count. Make sure there's not anything hidden in it. Yep. All righty. >> All right. I'm going to get out of here. Thank you. What's going on? And there it is. Refusal to submit to testing seals the deal on a one-year license suspension. This case perfectly illustrates how a series of poor decisions from driving impaired to fighting officers can compound into lifealtering charges.
