So, I'm going to ask you to step out of the car and we're going to walk back to the back of your car. Okay. Are you [ __ ] serious right now? Yes, sir. I am. boys. It's okay. We're just going to walk back to the the back of the truck and we'll have a conversation. Okay. Yeah. Um, so you said you're coming from Miami, going to Mara, and going back to Miami. What are you going to for, guys? Seriously, are we are we really doing this right now? Zack, how much have you had to drink today? About four. Four what? Four drinks. Like water, alcohol, beer. What'd you drink? Are you guys really trying to [ __ ] me right now? I'm just asking what you you look like you're impaired. I smell alcohol coming from you. So, I'm just asking how much you had to drink to make sure you're not too impaired to drive that vehicle. How about this guy? So, again, I think that you might be impaired. You You look Your eyes are bloodshot. They're kind of glassy. Are they really? Yes, sir. They are. Show me. I don't I don't know how you want me to do that. Take a picture. We could We could do that in a minute. Um, but the other reason why I think you're impaired is just the way you're walking. You're kind of stumbling a little bit. I'm not walking anywhere. Okay. And then also the way that you were seen driving, you're like kind of swerving and stuff and then the the colonel tried to pull you over and you didn't immediately stop. You stopped here on the bridge. You tried to stop. You had a safer spot a little bit back there. So, I'm going to ask that you voluntarily participate in standardized field sobriety exercises to dispel my belief you may be impaired. Are you willing to do those exercises? You'll do them? Okay. So, what I'll have you do, uh, you can just sit on the on the bumper of your car right there. You're a little bit taller. I just need to look at your eyes. Guys, look. I'm SFSD certified. Okay. So am I. I'm a drug recognition expert. uncross your feet and just put them like side by side. Perfect. And then your arms, if you could just try to put them down by your side like that. Okay. So, what I'm going to have you do is just keep your head straight and you're just going to keep your head like aim straight at me basically. And then I'm going to look at your eyes. Okay. Are you diabetic? No. Are you epileptic? No. Okay. Do you have any brain injuries? I'm a stable veteran. Okay. Have you ever had a traumatic brain injury? Yes, I have. Okay. Does it affect your ability to operate a vehicle? Guys, come on. Okay. Well, I'm just asking what your brain injury is. Come on, guys. We are both law enforcement. I'm just I'm going through a divorce. Come take my kids, man. I'm not taking your kids from me, man. I'm just making sure that you're safe to drive the car. Everything. Okay. So, no medical problems that are going to affect your ability to follow my finger. Okay. So, again, what I'm going to have you do is just keep your head straight and I'm just going to have you follow the tip of my finger with your eyes and I'm just going to go side to side and then I'm going to go up and down and I'm going to do a circle around your head. And I'm going to tell you what I'm doing before I do it. Okay? I'm not going to touch you or anything, but again, I just want you to follow my finger with your eyes and don't move your head. Do you understand? Yep. Okay. Ready? Yep. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Okay. If you can, can you just like make your head straight? You're kind of lean your head to the side a little bit. There you go. Uh, so what I'm going to do now is vertical. So I'm just going to go up and down. Okay. Ready? Same thing. Just follow with your eyes. Don't move your head. Ready? Okay. And now I'm going to do uh just two small circles around your head here. I'll show you what it looks like. So I'm going to go like this around your head. And I'm going to bring it in between your eyes to your nose, but I'm not going to touch you. Okay? So, don't don't flinch or anything. I'm not going to touch you. Okay? All right. Ready? All right. One more time. Ready? Okay. So, so this time, try to just look at my finger. Don't anticipate where it's going to go. Okay? You're kind of looking ahead of my finger. Just try to follow it. Okay, I'll go a little bit slower. Just look at my finger. Okay. Um, so the next thing I'm going to have you do is the walk and turn. Probably do it right here. Uh, Lane, I just want to get my kids. I got you, man. Come on, dude. I'll tell you a true story. All right. I went through the same thing 2 years ago. You know, if you do good on this, maybe I'm wrong. Okay? That's why we're doing these so that you can dispel my belief that you're impaired. Okay? Because right now, what I'm seeing the the stumbling stuff, I want to see if you can do this stuff. I'm not doing anything. I'm sitting right No, no. When you walked out of the truck at first, you kind of it it looked like it. Maybe I'm wrong. Okay. But that's what this stuff is for. So that we can dispel that belief that I have that you're impaired. Okay. So, the next thing we'll do is the one leg or the uh the walk and turn. Okay. So, what I'm going to have you do is just put your left foot on this line right here. Here, if you can just step forward. I don't want you to be touching the truck at all. Just a little bit forward. Just so you're not next to the truck. There you go. And now you're going to put your right foot in front of your left foot touching heel to toe. Your right foot in front of your left foot touching heel to toe. Perfect. All right. And if you can put your arms back down by your side or try to stand there just in case. All right. So again, just put your right foot back in front and then your arm straight down by your side. There you go. Now, just stay like that. If you if you have to put your hand up, just put it right back down. Okay? Okay. So, just stay like that. Don't do anything else until I tell you to. Do you understand? What I'm going to have you do in just a second is I'm going to have you take nine heel to toe steps down the line. I'm going to have you touch every time. Heel to toe. Heel to toe. So, heel to toe. Heel to toe. You're going to keep your feet on the line. Okay? If you stop walking or if you step off the line for any reason, I want you to just put your foot back on the line and keep walking. And I want you to count your steps out loud. Do you understand so far? Yep. So again, just to recap where we're at right now, your left foot is on the line with your right foot in front. Your arm straight down by your side. You're going to take nine heel totoe steps. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Once you get to that ninth step, you're going to keep the lead the front foot on the line. And then you're gonna use your back foot to take a series of small steps to turn around. And then you're gonna take nine heel totoe steps back down the line. Do you understand so far? Yep. Okay. So, I'm going to show you how it's going to look. Uh, so again, my left foot is on the line like you. My right foot is in front touching heel to toe. One 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Take the back foot off. Leave the lead foot on the line like this. You're going to take a series of small steps like this. And then you're going to take nine heel to toe steps back down the line. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Do you understand those instructions, sir? Yeah. Okay. Could you get back in the starting position for me, please? Give me a minute. Okay. Come on, guys. As the stop continues, one of the deputies raises concerns about safety in the roadway. But moments later, the interaction takes an unexpected turn when Scott asks one of the deputies a personal question in a way that shifts the tone of the encounter entirely. You know what? Call my supervisor. Okay. Do you want to do the exercises or No, I'll do it. But you know what? What's homeboy doing down there? You know, guys, come on. Make sure we sit because we're out of the wood. We don't want to get hit. We don't want you to get hit. That's why we're trying to do the exercise. That way, we can't move. Are you Haitian? That's nothing to do with my race, buddy. My question was, are you Haitian? It It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter where he's from. Okay. Look, man. I really need you to do the exercise. If you don't If you don't do it, then I'm going to say that you're refusing to do the exercise. I get it. You need a minute. I gave you a few minutes. Okay. But let me talk to your supervisor. Not right now, sir. Yeah. That's not how this works. You can talk to him at It is how it works because you guys are local. Okay. That's not a statute or a law or a policy or anything that we have. He's the second from the top underneath of the sheriff. Okay. He's the one that pulled you over. Okay. If you want to talk to him, we can. But right now, I'm in the I'm in the middle of of an investigation. And you're not going to talk to my supervisor in the middle of my investigation. When I'm concluded with my investigation, whichever way that goes, whether it's you in your car driving away or you in the back of my car in handcuffs, if you want to talk to my supervisor, then then by all means, you can. But when I'm in the middle of an investigation, it's you and me. No one else. Okay? So, this is this is the last chance I'm going to give you. Okay? Do you want to do the walk and turn exercise? Yeah, I'll do it. Okay. So, again, put your left foot on the line and then put your right foot in front touching heel to toe and your arm straight down by your side. Okay. I'm going to show you the instructions again real quick just to to refresh your memory. Okay. So, left foot on the line, right foot in front touching heel to toe. Six nine heel to toe steps. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 nine. Keep the front foot on the line. Take the back foot off the line and you're going to take a series of small steps with the back foot to turn around and then you're gonna take nine to toe steps back down the line. Do you understand the instructions? I do. Okay. I want to talk to your super again, sir. Once we're done with the investigation, you are more than welcome to talk to anyone that you would like. Okay. You may begin. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Okay, awesome. Uh, so for the next one, the one leg stand, we can come over here just so we're not in the road anymore. Scott, can you walk over to me, please? Do you want to do the one leg stand exercise? Why you [ __ ] me, man? All right. So, just take a couple steps forward like right here. Tell me what it is first. Okay. Well, in order for me to instruct you on how to do the exercise, I need you to stand over here. Awesome. Thank you so much, Scott. So, if you can just put your feet together with your heels touching. Okay. And now, put your arms straight down by your side. And your arm straight down by your side like this guy. Thank you. All right. There you go. So, heels touching, arm straight down by your side. You stay like that. Don't do anything else until I tell you to. Do you understand so far? Yep. So, when I tell you to, I'm going to tell you to raise one foot. You can choose the right or the left. You're going to raise it approximately 6 in off the ground. You're going to keep your foot parallel to the ground. And you're going to look at the elevated foot while you count out loud in the following manner. 1,00 1 1002 1003 1004 and so on and so forth until I tell you to stop. Do you understand the instructions so far? Yeah. Okay. So again, the way that it's going to look, your arms are straight down by your side. Your feet are together. I'm going to tell you to begin and you're going to choose, you choose either your left foot or your right foot. So when I say begin, if you want to pick up your left foot, you're going to pick it up about six 6 in off the ground. Again, keeping your foot parallel to the ground while you keep your eyes on the elevated foot. Do you understand that so far Scott? Do you understand the instructions, sir? I do. Okay.
