Hi. Thank you. Oh, I just want to make
sure I
um Officer Lombardi, what? You're the
only uh No, sir. No, I am. I can do Oh,
you're
Hifi.
Okay, wonderful.
All right, we'll see you guys down
there.
You're doing the 1011, right? Yeah.
I assumed I was doing everything. So,
yeah. Like if that if that was the case,
like since he's not certified in HGN,
you could do the HGN, but then he would,
if he was going to be the arresting
officer, you would want to
do want him to do it.
Release the cuff from your hand. Just
push. Come here. Just while they're
doing that first.
What we have to do is
just go.
I got a bag right here. Yeah. I just
want to explain to him.
Not a problem. We'll have you out of
here within the hour.
This is like the
[Applause]
anything that
but it's going to be under my fine
another charge for refusal. So um this
is the same piece of paper.
Then after
that warning
make me primary for this 450. And if you
haven't started the pack yet, just put
everything in my RMS.
This is for me. I'm the test operator.
So anytime you do this, there's a 20
minute observation period, right?
So during that 20 minute observation
period
um she can't or take anything to allow
roll mouth alcohol to dissipate. If
there's any alcohol left in the mouth it
will go away within 20.
All right Jessica
All right. You've been arrested for
driving while intoxicated.
uh NJ code
394-50. The law requires you to submit
samples of your breath for the purpose
of testing to determine alcohol content.
Uh a record of the taking of 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 a period or after
you've 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 make
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 for 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
the penalties opposed by the court for
any other offense in which you've been
found guilty. Uh you have no legal right
to have an attorney, physician or anyone
else present for the purpose of taking
of breath samples. Um 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
the refusal to submit to breath testing.
I repeat, the law requires you to submit
breath samples or I'm sorry, I repeat,
the law requires you to submit samples
of your breath for testing. Will you
submit the samples of your breath?
Wait, what do I Yes or Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. I don't know.
It's okay.
[Applause]
[Music]
She did. Yes. Right. Yes. So, uh this
I'm officer Ser. Uh I'm going to be
assisting with um the actual taking of
the breast samples. So, um there's a
couple things we got to do. We have to
wait 20 minutes before I can operate
this machine uh or this instrument. So,
the first thing I got to do is just make
sure you have nothing in your mouth. So,
just do me a favor. Open your mouth
wide. Okay. Can you take that? Are you
able to take that tongue ring out? Yeah,
I can. Okay. Can you do that for me?
I'll even get like a little bag. Yeah,
if you can, I'll get a bag or something
for your I'll get a bag. You can just
throw it right in here. Yeah. Just uh
Take your time. Sorry. It's all good.
It's all good.
Can I? Yeah. Yeah, you can put them both
in there like that. And then, yeah, once
we're done with it or once you leave
here, which again, like Officer Grow
said, should be under an hour. Um, you
know, you can throw right back in. So,
I'm just going to put your property bag
here. So, just again, open your mouth
real wide for me. Okay. Lift up your
tongue. Okay, looks good. So just um
during this 20 minute period just don't
touch your mouth anything like that. Put
your hands mouth don't put anything in
your mouth anything like that. We good?
Yeah. All right.
Awesome. So I have to grab this. So, um,
again, what we're doing is just like I
said, we just have to, one of us, any of
us just has to keep eyes on her. Just
make sure, you know, nothing in the
mouth, no hands in the mouth, no
burping, regurgitate, you know, spitting
up, regurgitating, anything like that.
Um,
what's your date of birth?
went upstairs.
Yes, no problem.
already using that. Oh, that the packet.
Yeah,
someone Oh, wait, wait. Is that the Oh,
yeah. Yeah, he already wrote the name.
All right, that's what
[Music]
All right. So, um, don't mind me. I'm
just training him. So, good. So, um, so
for now during this observation period,
we're good to, you know, we have our
cameras on, our radios, and all that
stuff. When we do the testing, all this
stuff has to be removed from the room.
And that includes smart watches. That
includes like uh like if you have a key
fob, phones, if you have a key fob. And
uh you know the law says we can we're
allowed to have our body cameras off for
testing because there's cameras in here
that don't emit like a wireless signal.
So, all you have to do when it uh comes
time is um just literally take all any
of your electronics off and then you put
them right outside the door around the
corner here. Okay. And then we have to
do the same with just her phone. Um you
don't have like a smartwatch on, nothing
like that. So, uh yeah, just anything
like that. Body cameras all have to be
removed. Um check the her mouth. Uh she
took her tongue ring out. So, like I if
hypothetically they have mouth piercings
that they're unable to remove, like we
want them removed, but if they're just
like they're unable to be removed for
whatever reason, you just have to
document it. Uh well, but
um
so this is
good. And then um once we're a little
closer to the time
um what's it called? I'm going to start
up the machine.
So uh officer Grow when you have to have
the actual summons for 450 to be able to
plug the summons number into the
machine. Excuse me. Into the machine
here. Um, so he's doing
that and then uh I'll have Did you have
your driver's license on you? I did, but
I somebody No problem. No problem. As
long as he brings it back down to me, I
just got to plug this stuff in there. So
once it comes time, okay, I just like I
was explaining to them, I'm going to
boot this machine up. Um, what all I
need from you is two strong breath
samples. So, um, it's kind of like
blowing up a balloon. Like, you're going
to take in a super big deep breath,
okay? And then just a long steady
continuous breath
like And it's it's going to be I have
these little mouth pieces here. They're
all nice and sealed up. So, I'm going to
give you a fresh mouthpiece each each
time. Um, I've done this myself. It
doesn't take a Lance Armstrong or like
elite athletes lungs to be able to fill
this thing up to get a proper sample.
Okay? Once we get those two samples from
you, we can start making phone calls to
pick you up. So, I don't know if they
explained to you, anytime anyone gets
arrested for DUI, we can't just release
you on your own. You have to call like a
friend, family member. They explained to
me when I was over there cuz like I live
like my like where I live is lally right
like that street right there. So I was
like can I jump my car with? They're
like no. So I'm like okay that's Yeah.
So um as soon as we're like I said as
soon as we're done with this testing
we'll get you on the phone. You can use
your phone. Make some phone calls. Get
someone to pick you up. Just keep in
mind uh again part of the law I again I
don't know if they explained this to you
on scene. Someone has to take
responsibility for you. Oh okay. So
yeah, they're going to have to sign
something saying like, you know, god
forbid you went and crashed again that
they'd be responsible. So as long as
it's someone that's you will well enough
that's going to be like, oh yeah, I got
her. You know what? Is there any way I
can use the bathroom or not yet or until
after? So we I can let you use the
bathroom, but then I got to start the
the time over. Um, if you can wait,
that's fine. If you need to use the
bathroom, we can I can let you use the
bathroom and I just got to start the the
time over. So I do, but like how long
how long? So
So I just So like if if it's a short
I'll let you know. So we have Stand by
one second.
We are
uh we're only 7 minutes into so we have
13 more minutes till I can start the
test. Can I use the bathroom before? All
right. Yeah. Yeah. It's all right. No
problem. No, no, it's all good. So, just
so you know, like that that's the thing.
We can let her go to the bathroom. We
just got to start the the time over and
it's not a big deal. You're only
Yep. just uh sorry you want to one of
you just want to take her over there. Um
it's all good. It's all good. So that's
really my fault at the end of the day.
It's it's a good idea to just Yeah.
Yeah. Just uh go steal. You're going to
stand outside the cell. Obviously not
watching her, but um just let her use
the cell.
So yeah.
Having an issue in reference to his
need. I should. Yeah. It's always good.
I I guess I I forgot, but just to be
like, "Hey, before we start this period,
do you need to go to the bathroom? Do
you need to do anything?"
All better.
Sorry, that was my bad. I probably
should have asked you before. Just need
to check your mouth again. Standard. All
right. Good. Good. Okay. So we are gonna
start this
221 73 quick
this 0254.
So, in 20 minutes, we'll get these
tests. As long as we get two good ones
real quick, we'll get you try and get
you on your way. All right. Just don't
burp. Don't touch your mouth. Well,
yeah. Just sit here. And uh I'm not
trying to be weird when we're watching
you, but we we have to. It's literally
required. So, I know it's Yeah, I know
it's going to it might feel like we're
being creepy or anything. I might feel
self-conscious, but
but I know you guys what like what you
have to do. It's all good. So you you
live in Morristown? I do. Okay. I live
right down the street like where where
happened? Oh, Lyndon. Oh, yeah. Right
