Go ahead and put your feet together like this. Arms by your side. >> I already know I'm going to fail. >> All right. Arms by your side, man. All right. I'm going to put this So, when I tell you to I'm going to tell you to tilt your head back. And then I'm going to say close your eyes, okay? What After I say close your eyes, I'm going to say begin. Once I say begin, you're going to allow 30 seconds to pass in your head. All right. Once 30 seconds has passed, just go ahead and tilt your head forward, open your eyes, tell me to stop. Do you understand the test? >> Uh >> You want me to say it again? >> Tilt my head back, close my eyes, 30 seconds. >> I'll say begin and then you're allowed 30 seconds to pass in your head, yes.

Did you like one Mississippi, two Mississippi? >> No, just one two three like that. >> Did we ever confirm he's on DUI probation? >> Huh? I don't think someone >> Have you had a DUI before? >> I've had a DUI >> When was that? >> Um 2 years ago. >> 2 years ago? >> Yeah. >> When were you When were you uh I guess convicted of it? Cuz they the the the deputies say you're on DUI probation, but I'm checking to make sure. >> I did the whole um I can't remember call it. SR-22 >> Mhm. >> Um the whole DUI program, passed it, did all that. >> Okay. >> Um >> Was there like an end date of your probation that you know? >> I Yeah, I graduated it. Um >> Yeah, but just cuz just cuz you graduated like the class doesn't like there's just like an end date of the actual probation. You know what I'm saying? Like usually like they give you like two Like maybe they'll give you a year, but while in that year probation, you got to get certain things done in order to get off probation. >> It was like a 3-year date, I think. >> A 3-year date? >> Uh uh three I'm not sure of the whole all the things, but I think it was like a 3-year mandatory program. >> Mhm. >> program. I think that's what it's called. Like a program. And did it, I paid all my [ __ ] I passed it, I graduated from the class, the one over here by the courthouse. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, I did all that, and >> They can to back yet or what? Take that long? All right, man. I'm I'm going to read you this, okay? If you're on DUI probation, you don't have a choice. You have to do it. But, I'm going to read you this first just in case you're not, okay? >> It's cool. >> So, I'm requesting you take a preliminary alcohol screen test. This is to make sure you don't have any alcohol. If you're not on DUI probation, you can refuse to take the test. However, this is not the implied consent test. In an arrest, you will be required to give a sample of your blood or breath for the purpose of determining the actual alcohol and drug content of your blood. This is a breathalyzer. Just measures alcohol. >> So, if I'm not on DUI probation, >> You can refuse it. You correct. But, if you are on DUI probation, you can't refuse it. And if you do refuse it and you're on DUI probation, it would be an additional charge. It's a violation of your probation and a bunch of things. So. >> So, so if I pass the test and I was off of it, would I be free to go? >> Well, you're not free to go right now. >> Well, I know that. >> So, basically, if you're not I'm going to rephrase that. So, if you're not on DUI probation and you don't have to do this and you choose not to do it, then what I would I would have to determine if I'm going to arrest you based on all the other stuff I've seen. Okay? This is just another field sobriety test, basically. We're checking right now with our dispatch. >> I I work out of town, dude, and that's my only support, dude. >> Well, they're still checking, so you got You got a minute. >> I'm Either way. I don't even know what to say, dude. >> Well, we could do it. Just get it over with either way. >> Just take me to jail. >> Well, I understand that, but if you're on probation, you have to do this. And I don't want to just take you to jail. >> on probation. I haven't been on probation in 3 years. Like, I've been on the I was on [ __ ] DUI probation, dude. I would I did the program. >> Right. >> I did it for 3 years, dude. I'm I finished it. I'm done. But it sounds like you guys are going to take me anyways, so you like no matter what I say or what I do, I'm going to [ __ ] jail. >> No one said that, but >> No, that you don't have to say it. It's it's a [ __ ] fact. Like, I can tell in your face I can tell in your face, dude. Like, I >> Is your name Cody? >> Yeah. Cody >> All right, relax, bro. >> No, I'm relaxed, dude. I'm I'm stressed. >> Sorry, man. I'm just >> I'm stressed, dude. Like, >> We got to get We got to get that thing over with. You want to You want to just get over with now or if you want to wait till the see if he comes back. You know what I mean? >> No, [ __ ] it, dude. Let's wait till he comes back. >> Okay. >> I'm going to fight this thing the whole [ __ ] time, I guess. If I didn't blow him, I'm going to be guilty. >> I get it. You're right, man. >> What else can I do, right? >> Hey, call dispatch back. It doesn't take that long to Then go ask them to make sure they confirm it. This is frustrating. Okay. So, they just confirmed you're on DUI probation, so you do have to do this, okay? >> I'm on DUI probation? How is that? >> That's what That's what they said. >> years ago, dude. >> Listen. >> Oh my god. >> Listen, you have to blow into this. >> Hello. >> You might as well get it over with now, man. Hey, you're going to make it worse on yourself if you don't. >> I'm not doing anything. >> Well, you have to blow into this. >> I'm going to when I'm ready. >> Well, we unfortunately we don't have all the >> Well, you guys been making me wait, so >> All right. Well, I'm going to give you like 30 seconds and then if you don't do it in the next 30 seconds, then I'll just take it that you're not going to do it. Okay? I don't I'm not trying to be difficult with you, man. But >> how Del Norte Del Norte County is. >> I'll hold it. I'll hold it. All right? Keep going. All right, stop stop stop. You're good, dude. You're good. Jesus. >> I'm good, dude. >> So, we got to wait 2 minutes to do it one more time, okay? >> Okay, thank you. >> Hey, man. So, you are on your active probation, okay? >> Yeah. So, I understand I don't understand how They gave you a >> I guess they give you a time frame. So, you have a certain years that you're on your active >> Also, also man, if it if if it comes out after the fact that you should have been off of it and it's a mistake with the system, then they'll they'll contact you. >> If I complete the whole program, how am I still on it? >> Well, so how how like I told you >> Do I have to go check into the courthouse? >> So, usually there's a time limit. Like like they give you 3 years of probation, but they also give you a bunch of things you have to do, like the program. >> I did the program. >> Yes, but because you finished the program doesn't mean you get off probation. You still have to finish your time. >> I did my time, dude. I went to jail for this [ __ ] Like it's just >> I have a co-worker though. We don't make the the rules, you know what I mean? >> Well, I know you guys are just collecting a paycheck, but the court [ __ ] up, dude. >> I don't know anything about the tribe. >> Whatever, dude. It doesn't matter. You guys don't know, I don't know. Who gives a [ __ ] right? I understand. I work, I do my job, and that's all I do. I get it. And I appreciate that. >> Where do you work at? >> I work out of town, yeah. For >> Dude, how's that day that we're at uh >> No, I >> Oh, that's cool. >> We uh restoration on rivers.
