Okay. >> Yeah, I realize that. But I got to talk to you about that crash still. Okay. Like I said, we got to do some test and all that stuff. The faster we can do that, faster we can get you on your way. Okay. >> We'll get to that. Okay. >> We can get to this quickly. Let you give her a call. >> Let's go over here by my car.

Right immediately without any investigation. >> So, I want to do this to to give you your chance to show me that you care. >> I do care. I appreciate you. >> No, that's not what I'm saying. You're you're not hearing me. I'm saying you need to do some field sobriety test. Don't think you're under the influence. Okay? >> No, I'm not. >> And if you're not, then you're going to comply with these field tests and prove me that you're not. Okay? That's the point of the field sobriety test is to show me that you're okay. You are not impaired while you're driving. Okay? So, if you don't want to do these right now, you seem impaired. Your your speech is very slow, your eyelids are droopy, you're kind of like nodding your head, and they're like you're falling asleep. It's consistent with what happened in the crash. Wanted to determine it's not what happened in the crash. Does that make sense? >> Yeah. So that's why I want to do field sobriety tests. >> Makes sense. >> So do you want to set yourself down and we'll get through these real quick? >> Well, like I said, I I'd rather not. >> Okay. Because if that's the case, I'm just going to have you turn around and place you in handcuffs. >> Yeah, cuz I think you're under the influence of a drug. >> Okay. Then we're going to have to go right back in there and get a blood test. But if you don't want to do that immediately, let's do some field tests real quick. Is this making sense to you? >> Yeah, a little bit. >> Okay, come on over here for me. >> Just stand right there and then face me. Okay. >> Here, I'm gonna I'm gonna hold on to that for you.

So, when I tell you to, you're going to tip your head back like this. Then, I'm going to have you close your eyes. Once your eyes are closed, you're going to keep them closed. I'm going to say start. When I say start, I want you to keep your eyes closed for 30 seconds. Okay? When you think 30 seconds is over, I want you to tilt your head forward and say stop. >> Do you understand the instructions? >> I do. Yes. >> Okay. Again, feet together, arms at your sides. Go ahead and tilt your head back for me. Close your eyes. >> Close your eyes. Your eyes are not closed. And start. 30 seconds. >> How'd you get to 30? All right. Okay. All right.

We're going to do a few more tests. Okay. Uh the next test I'm going to have you walk on a line. You want to use one of the white lines over there or one of these cracks? >> Okay. So, this is I'm going to have you stand a certain way and I'm gonna explain it to you and I'm have you perform it. Okay. >> So, what I want you to do is take your left foot. You know your left foot? >> Put it right on that line for me. Okay? So, just like my foot is, >> scoot back just a little bit so you can watch me. Okay. So, put your left foot on the line. Oh, careful. >> So, left foot goes on the line just like this. >> That one's fine. Just go back just a hair behind that cross right there. You go. So, left foot on the on the line like mine is. See how my foot is? I don't want you to stand there like that. So, left foot on the line just like mine. Perfect. And then I want your right foot heel to toe right from your left foot like mine is. I want you to stand like this. Okay? I'm going to explain the test. And if you can't stand like that, I don't want you to fall over, but I want you to m try to maintain that position. Okay? Okay. I'm going to explain the test to you. So when I tell you, you're going to take nine heel to toe steps down this line. You're going to make a turn and you're going to take nine heel to toe steps back down the line. Okay? It's going to look like this. Your arms will be at your sides. You're going to stare at your feet while you walk. You're going to count your steps out loud while you make heel totoe contact like this. Okay, watch me. One, two, three, and so on until you reach nine steps. Once you reach nine steps, I want you to leave your front foot in place and you're going to turn around and take small steps like this, pivoting on your front foot until you're facing the opposite direction. Once you're facing the other direction, you're going to take nine heel totoe steps back down the line. Go like this again. One, two, three, and so on until you reach nine steps. Okay? Um, during the test, I want you to keep your arms at your sides, stare at your feet while you walk, count your steps out loud, >> and don't stop until the test is done.

Do you understand the instructions? >> Kind of a little bit of coming from hanging out with my nephew. >> Okay. But you want to try this test or No. >> No. >> No. Okay. Okay. I can't force you to do it. You Okay. The next one is me having you stand on one foot. You want to try that one? >> Uh, no. >> You don't want to do that one either? >> No. Bad knee. >> Okay. You couldn't stand on the other foot? >> Oh, yeah. I I don't want to do something you don't think you can do. >> Yeah. >> You think you'd be able to do it? >> Probably not. >> You want me to explain it to you and and you can make that determination after I explain it? >> So, while I'm explaining it, just make sure your hands are at your sides, just like this. Okay, perfect. Just like So, hands are at your sides, feet together, just like how I showed you. >> I just want you to stand like that while I explain the test. Okay. >> So, when I tell you to, I'm going to have you lift one foot off the ground. Doesn't matter which one. It's up to you. I'm going to lift my right by for to demonstrate. Okay? So, when I tell you to, I want you to keep your arms at your sides. You're going to lift your foot about 6 in off the ground like me. >> Don't start yet, though. >> Just watch me. >> So, once your foot's six inches off the ground, your foot's going to be flat to the ground like this, not pointing up. Legs are going to be straight like mine are. No bent knees, no karate kid. You're going to stare at your raised foot and count like this. 100,00 1,002 1,003 and so on. And tell you to stop. >> Okay? Hey. Do you think you'd be able to do that test? >> I'd rather not. >> You don't want to do it? >> Okay. Um, I got one more test. Well, two more technically, but >> can I just go home? >> Uh, no. We're still doing the investigation. Okay. Let me explain this test. If you don't want to do it, that's fine. Okay. But I got to offer it to you. So, this one I want you to What I'm going to have you do is to explain it. I'm going to have you stand a certain way. Okay. So, arms at your sides for me. Just stand over there so you can watch me. >> I was trying to figure out. >> Yep. Right there is fine. So, feet together, arms at your sides. So, I want you to rotate your wrists out like this. Put your fingers out like that. Just stand like that while I explain the test. All right. Don't move until I tell you to. Okay. So, when I tell you to though, I'm going to have you I'm going to say either left or right. Do you know your left from your right? >> I do. Yeah. >> Which one's your left hand? >> Perfect. All right. So, if I say left, this is what I want you to do. I want you to take your left hand straight out in front of you with your little pointer finger. I want you to touch the tip of your finger to the tip of your nose like that and bring it right back down to your side. Okay? >> Um, and if I say right, same thing. You're going to take the tip of your right finger just like this, right in front of your body. Watch me. Watch me. >> You come right up front and touch the tip of your nose to the tip of your finger and bring it right back down to your side. Okay. >> Um, do you understand those instructions? >> I do. >> Okay. So, during this test, I'm going to have you tilt your head back and close your eyes. You think you'll be able to do all that? >> You want to try it? No. Okay. I got one more test. It's called the preliminary alcohol screening test. Okay. It only tests for alcohol. Um it's right there. Um are you on DUI probation? >> No. >> Okay. We can refuse this one, too, if you want. >> You don't want to do it? >> No. >> Okay. I'll have you turn around for me. Okay. >> One place you under arrest for DUI. Okay. >> All right. Go ahead. >> You want to do it? Yeah. >> I mean, I'm not saying you have to. You don't have to do it. That's not what I'm basing my determination on. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Okay. That's not what I'm If you do that test, you still can, but that's not the reason why. You know what I'm saying? >> Yeah. >> You still want to do it? >> Yeah. I really >> Okay. So, again, you can refuse to take this test. It's just another field sobriety test like we've been doing. And if requested to take a breath test um or implied consent test, which is the chemical breath test. This is not that test. So, you'd still have to do that if you're arrested. Does that make sense? >> What? >> So, if you get placed under arrest, this doesn't count as that breath test. This doesn't count as a chemical state mandated breath test. Okay. Okay. All right. We'll do it real quick. You can stay there. It's fine. Fresh tube. Want a dirty tube. All right. All right. 24 degrees Celsius. This is going to be 422. All right. So, to take this test, you're just going to make a seal around the tube. Blow through the tube. Okay. So, big deep breath in. Good look. Hard. Hard hard. [bell] Perfect. No alcohol. >> Huh? >> Pretty sweet, huh? >> All right. So now what I'm going to have you do is turn around for me. >> Yeah. >> Place your hands behind your back. Okay. >> I'm placing you under rest for DUI. Okay. >> Go ahead and turn around for me. >> Okay. Just relax your hands. Okay. This hand. All right. So here's the deal. I believe you're under the influence of a drug or drugs. Okay. So, what that means is you're required to submit to a chemical test because you've been arrested for state of Cal. You've been arrested in the state of California for DUI. So, you're required to give a sample of your breath or blood. Okay. >> So, you can do the breath test. However, if you do the breath test, I'm still going to need you to do a blood test because I think you're under the influence of drugs and not alcohol. Does that make sense? >> Yeah. So, do you want to do the breath test and the blood test or just the blood test? >> Whatever gets me out of the handcuffs. >> Well, either one. You got to Well, I mean, like I said, you got to do at least the blood test. So, you can do the breath test and the blood test. It's just going to take a little bit longer. We have to go do the breath test as well. >> Humble 95 88 10:15. >> Meetings in there or something? >> Huh? >> Having a meeting in there? >> No. No. I have to have tell somebody if I place you under arrest I have to tell my dispatch. So >> So do you want to do the the blood test here real quick? >> Yeah. Blood test. >> Yeah. You got to do the blood test. >> You don't have baitas. >> Hm. >> You know how bait is? >> What's bait is? >> Like those >> fish? >> Yeah. >> I got one. >> But I need you to do the blood test. So you want to go in and do that real quick? >> Yeah. After I give you a P test and I'll leave it in. >> Well, it's a blood test, not a P test. Just so we're clear, it's they're going to take a little bit of blood out and then we're going to go to the jail and you'll be released with a court date after that. >> Oh, they're going to drop me off. >> I'm going to drop you off. >> Yeah, I'll take you over there. >> Okay. >> All right, cool. Let me stick some stuff in my car real quick and then we'll go inside and get that test. Okay. So, walk with me over here for me. Okay. I'm just going to grab your arm because I can't have you falling on me. Okay. >> Go to my car real quick. >> Yep. Just stand by my wheel. I'm going to put this in the car real quick. Okay, perfect. Don't walk away on me. Stay over there. 95 88. I'll be 97 Sutter for a legal draw. If you could advise Sutter, buddy, let's go inside. We're going to go in the front door this time. We're going to go get a blood test. Okay. started doing blood and alcohol. >> Huh? >> I thought you just met up overseas or something. >> What do you mean? >> I don't know. Oh [ __ ] >> Careful. Careful. Don't fall down. >> True. >> You haven't eaten anything all day. >> Okay. Well, it might be a little bit longer till you get some food. Unfortunately, unless the jail can give you food, but they usually don't feed you if you're in there for uh pushover, but it's up to them. Go right and turn right. There we go. Full circle. We're back to the ER. So, here's the thing. I want you I want to take you back to my office and do a drug recognition evaluation. >> Um, are you going to comply with that or are you going to just >> I don't want to do it. >> Not going to force you to do it. I don't I don't want to do all this stuff. >> All right, I hear you. >> All right, give this button a push, then we'll be out of here. We got to move quick cuz we got traffic. >> People trying to get out behind us. >> Huh? >> Your car? >> My car. So, I'll set you in the back seat here. All right. Go ahead and take a seat in the back. Watch your head. Huh? >> This hand right here. >> Yeah. >> This one right here. >> Okay. Try and fix it for you. So, it's not >> this one. Go ahead. >> Is that better? >> So, what you got to do is you got to kind of keep the backs of your hands together. Otherwise, it'll be tight. Okay? Cuz right now, the way it is. >> I can fit a finger under there. That's about as tight. That's about as loose as I go. That's our policy. All right. But make sure you just keep the backs of your hands together and it'll kind of keep it loose. Okay. Think you can manage that while you're up there >> or in the car rather? Watch your head. I wonder where they tow my car to. >> What's that? >> I wonder where I tow my car. >> Oh, I can let you know in a second. Go ahead and look that way for me. >> There we go. So, you'll be in for four to six hours, right? And then they're going to kick you out with a court date because you got to go in for sobering. That's why you're here. Okay? So, the sobering period is four to six hours. You're probably going to be closer to six. Okay? Hang on. I'm coming. I'm coming. >> I'm coming, dude. Chill out. I'm going to search you real quick. Okay. Just come over here and face the car for me. >> You don't have anything else in your body, do you? No drugs packed up there somewhere. >> H >> not yet.
