Have a seat. >> What's a seat? >> Have a seat. >> Yes, it is a seat. Okay. So, we're going to It's about a 20-minute down a 20-minute drive down to the Palm Beach County Jail. All right. After we get to the Palm Beach County Jail, there's going to be a breath tech waiting for us. I'm I'm required to give you a 20-minute observation period. When we get down there, I'm going to ask if you'll provide a breath sample. Will you provide that breath sample, yes or no? I need >> I want to see my lawyer. >> I need an answer. A yes or no. >> I want to see my lawyer. >> I need an answer. Yes or no, please. >> I want to see my lawyer. >> Okay. So, >> You haven't read my Taylors. >> I did give you your Taylor. I did. If you did not comprehend them, that's up to you. So, I'm now requesting you submit to a lawful test of your breath for the purpose of determining its alcohol content. Will you take that test? Okay. If you refuse to take the test I've requested of you, your driving privilege will be suspended for a period of 1 year for a first refusal or 18 months if your driving privilege has been previously suspended or if you've been previously found under statute 327.35215 for refusing to submit to a lawful test of your breath, urine, or blood. Additionally, if you refuse to take the test I requested of you, and if your driving privilege has been previously suspended, or if you've been previously fined under statute lawful test of your breath, urine, or blood, you'll be committing a misdemeanor in addition to any other penalties which can be imposed by law. Refusal to submit to the test I requested is admissible in evidence in any criminal proceedings. Do you understand what that means? Yes or no? Yes or no question. Do you understand what that means? The very fact that you used the term Taylor warning, when I didn't tell you that it was called Taylor, tells me that you've had a DUI before. In fact, I know you've had a DUI before. All right? And the fact that you're not answering this, and you already have a prior suspension on your record, tells me you know exactly what's happening here. In fact, you have. In 2011, it shows it when I pull up your record. So, I said, you must think I'm dumb. So, at this point I'm going to take and take the fact that you're refusing to talk to me, that you're refusing to do anything at this point, that as a refusal. Your license will be suspended for 18 months, and the fine associated with that with suspension is over a thousand dollars, on top of anything that you have to do with a DUI. So, roadside refusal.

That's why I waited. >> Uh-huh. >> And I already knew. >> Uh-huh. >> So I wanted to avoid it. >> Nope. That's fine. >> What do you want to do with this? >> Um >> You want the wallet? >> Credit cards. >> Yeah, I'll take care of it. I'll wear a pair of gloves myself. That way I can sign everything. >> Instead of complying with repeated lawful commands to exit the vehicle, the driver repeatedly refused, forcing officers to physically remove her. She later declined field sobriety tests and continued refusing to answer questions about a breath test. Decisions that added even more consequences to the arrest.
