Uh they're doing about 50 mph down a 25 mph road and she was about like 6 in away from her bumper. >> Um so I I will be honest with you, sir. She did tell me that she has been drinking tonight.

Okay. >> So, I mean, like I said, as long as she passes everything good, I don't know wherever her friend lives.

I like I said, I say the same thing to everybody. All right. All right. So, I'm gonna read you your Miranda rightites. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you while you are being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish. You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. Do you understand those rights? Uh to the best of your ability, if you could just sign right there, that's just stating that you understand your rights. and this is the even longer one. You have been arrested for driving while intoxicated NJSA 394-50. The law requires you to submit samples of your breath for the purpose of testing to determine alcohol content. A record of the taking of the breath samples, including the test results, will be made. Upon your request, a copy of that record will be made available to you. After you have provided samples of your breath for testing, you have the right at your own expense to have a person or physician of your own selection take independent samples of your breath, blood, or urine for independent testing. If you refuse to provide samples of your breath, you will be issued a separate summon for the refusal. A court may find you guilty of both refusal and driving while intoxicated. If a court finds you guilty of the refusal, you will be subject to various penalties, including license revocation of up to 20 years, a fine of up to $2,000, installation of an ignition interlock, and referral to an intoxicated driver resource center. These penalties may be in addition to penalties imposed by the court for any other offense of which you are found guilty. You have no legal right to have an attorney, physician, or anyone else present for the purpose of the taking the breath samples. You have no legal right to refuse to give or delay giving samples of your breath. Any response from you that is ambiguous or conditional in any respect to my request that you provide breath samples will be treated as a refusal to submit to breath testing. Even if you agree to take the test, but then do not follow my instructions, do not properly perform the test, or do not provide sufficient breath samples, I will charge you with refusal to submit to breath testing. I repeat, the law requires you to submit samples of your breath for testing. Will you submit samples of your breath? >> If I refuse it, I have like anonymous suspension on my license, right? >> So that's that's like down the line in court if you were found guilty of it. That's what could happen. All those everything that I listed here is what could happen if you are found guilty of it. Just if you refuse right now, that's just another summon that I will be writing to you. >> Um, but you won't take like blood or anything like that? >> No, >> I'm going to refuse it then. >> Okay. your >> like off record like is that like gonna [ __ ] >> I mean look my my body camera is still on. >> Yeah. >> Um so with with that in mind, what's your question? >> Because like my whole thing is if I blow like a certain number, it's obviously going to go against me, but if I refuse it, >> I mean, I can't give you legal advice. Um I just got to read everything from from the sheet here. Whatever you decide to do is your is your own decision. Then obviously after this you know get attorney you consult with that and then you go through that whole process. >> But you can't like legally take blood or anything from me right now? >> No. I'm not going to be getting a blood warrant or or anything like that. No. >> Okay. So, I'm just going to refuse it. >> Okay. Your answer is not acceptable. The law requires that you submit samples of your breath for breath testing.
