Okay. >> I ain't saying nothing. I'm just saying what I feel. Okay. The deputy then read the warning about refusing a breath test. Rojos still wanted to speak with his legal representative. I'm now requesting that you submit to a lawful test of your breath for the purpose of determining its alcohol content. If you refuse to take the test at our question, your driving privilege will be suspended for a period of one year for a first time refusal or 18 months if your driving privilege has been previously suspended or you have if you have been previously fined under section 327.35215 of the Florida statutes for refusing to submit to a lawful test of your breath, your inner blood. Additionally, if you refuse to take the test I have requested of you and if your driving privilege has been previously suspended or if you have been previously fined under section 32735215 for committing a misdemeanor in addition to any of the penalties, sorry, for refusal to submit to lawful test of your breath here in 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 ever have requested of you is admissible into evidence in any criminal proceeding. You understand all that? I but I just want some of legal support. >> I got you. I got you >> right now. >> I just want legal advice. >> Okay. I I I know you want legal advice, but I got to remind you right now, your right to an attorney doesn't attach when it comes to the breath test. You already consented to the breath test when you got a Florida driver's license. You know that. So, [snorts] all I got to do is read this to you and you make a decision as a big boy knowing your agency's policies and these consequences. Okay? Tell me what you want to do. Refuse. >> Refuse. Okay. I'm going to ask you one more time when the instrument's ready and I'll just refuse. Okay. I hope you can let me uh call my period. >> I would like to tell my PBA so I know whether to blow or not. Like >> I I don't [ __ ] legal [ __ ] honestly though. All right.
