attorney's name and phone number?
 Can I
have a phone?
 Uh, not at this moment,
but when the time comes.
 All right.
Well, when it comes,
 you're being
investigated for driving while
intoxicated. I'm going to read you
what's called a warning to motorist.
Subsequent to an arrest for driving
while under the influence of alcohol or
other drugs or intoxicating compounds or
any combination thereof DUI or section
1141 leaving the scene of a fatal or
personal injury accident, you're hereby
notified that it's provided section
11500 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
You're a reverse offender unless within
the last 5 years of this arrest for DUI.
Can I call my attorney?
 Uh, I told you I
will allow you when it's time.
 No, it's
you're not being deprived of any
constitutional right.
 Oh, but I am.
 No,
you're not. I know them a lot better
than you. Oh, but but but but look, look
at me. I'm not convicted of anything,
but you're treating me like I am.
 Okay.
Well,
 I've not been convicted of
anything.
 Everything's being recorded,
so I'm not doing anything.
 I'm not I've
not been convicted of anything.
 Okay.
 I
have a drunk ex-husband.
 Hi, Jessica.
Please.
 That's pissed off. These cuffs
are so [ __ ] tight. I have no
circulation to my hands.
 Can we check
them for tightness?
 No. Check them
again.
They are too tight. If you don't turn
them in there, they won't get tight.
 Do
you see how
 Yeah. Look.
 No.
 Look.
 Look
at how red my hands are.
 Because you're
turning them inside.
 No. Because they're
too [ __ ] tight.
 This This is a legal
standard. My face.
 It's not legal.
 Let's
see this one. Well, your attorney can
explain that to you. Look. See?
 Are you
married to Meredith?
 Uh, what does my
personal relationship have to
 Meredith
Wadka?
 I don't know Meredith Wodka, but
why does my family situation come into
this?
 Because Meredith Wadka is a very
kind woman. I'm sure she is.
 You don't
think that that guy didn't get him extra
tight? That guy right there with the
hair do.
 We have a legal standard and I
just recorded my finger being able to
come all the way through the cuff.
 And
guess what? It's still cutting off the
circulation.
 It is very rare that we
have to use force against somebody if
that tells you anything about your
demeanor or character.
 You know what? I
didn't do anything to you guys.
 And so
when I told you you came in guns
ablazing when I told you
 you came in,
did you come in guns blazing? you to get
out of the car.
 Did you come in guns of
blazing?
 I told you that you were under
arrest because you weren't.
 Why is it
that you didn't just simply step out of
the car knowing that you because I had
already sent a message to the officer
that sent me a text message earlier
today and I had talked with my attorney
earlier today.
 From where? Officer from
where?
 Check my phone. Where is my
phone?
 An off Yes.
 That's not what we
were looking for you. an officer today.
He just said you had an a warrant for
your arrest.
 But there was more going
on. I told you that we we met you today
not because of those warrants.
 That's
what he just said.
 That's what you're
under arrest for.
 That's what you're
under arrest for. You know what? When
your attorney when you talk to the
attorney, we will explain the background
if you want us to. Well, cuz then maybe
he can explain it to you and you'll
believe him.
 The next time you think
it's okay to roll up and snatch me out
of a car in front of my kids.
 I didn't
have to if he just got out of the car.
All you got to do is get out the car.
How do you How do you reasonable? [ __ ]

in front of my kids.
 You've been blazing
guns since I first saw you. And I tell

legal,
 and beat on my window.
 You ran
over. You hit a man with your car cuz to
us.
 Who did I Who did I hit?
 Well, I
can't ask you questions about it because
you want to talk to your attorney.

to meet you today.
