remember how fast you think you were
going 150 200
under 50. how fast are you going 150 200
miles an hour it was 45 down through
here
okay and then i just was distracted and
then i
next thing i know i hit somebody so you
think you're going full speed around 45
or you think you're slow 30 45 40 okay
hey guys the video i have for today is
going to be a traffic crash that was
caused by a drunk driver
it's a pretty cut and dry kind of run
from the
moment the first officer approaches it's
pretty obvious that the
driver is intoxicated so i'm going to
use
his body camera and then the body camera
of another officer that shows up later
the first officer is going to approach
the vehicle make contact with her
you get to see that interaction kind of
see how she's acting
immediately after the crash and you'll
see how the officers
clear the crash scene then after that a
couple more officers come by and they
help process the ovi arrest
in this video i'm not going to show the
majority of the
field sobriety tests the reason for that
is
twofold one the driver in this case
is very short and the officer who
administers the first round of tests had
his camera angled up
a little bit too high so you don't
actually get to see very much
it was even really hard to see her eyes
when he was trying to check for a
nystagmus
but you will get to see a second officer
ask her some additional questions
and you'll see how they develop the
probable cause to place her under arrest
for
drunk driving so i hope you enjoy this
video i hope you learned something
and i'll talk to you soon
where's she at i don't know she's in the
car she's in the car

200 miles an hour it well it's 45 down

okay and then i just was distracted and
then i
next thing i know i hit somebody so you
think you're going full speed around 45
or you think you're 70 45 40 okay
a few moments later
i can't even do this you okay you're
killing me man
go and do this this one's easy you just
have to stand there i did you have
what kind of medical problems you have i
didn't hear anything i have had
i've had hip replacements i've had
ankle replacements i've had
um staples in my knees i've had you name
it
i've had it what i mean what that's a
lot for someone your age i mean
oh i have an underlying like it's called
a multiple epithelial dysplasia which
really
all my joints um they
deteriorate and it it makes it to the
point where i have to
have replacements you've had your knees
replaced or
you set your ankles i've had ankles
replaced and my hips are replaced
which i do your ankle at huh where'd
they do your ankle at
they they took it from down here because
i had spurs on my feet
and then they carried it up up here
like you know around my ankle
so you didn't have like the joints
replaces what you're saying
yes not in my feet but
my ankles yes
okay
i'll tell you what go like this have you
stand like this with your feet together
for me
okay what i'm gonna have you do is when
i tell you just keep your hands on your
side
okay you know how to add and subtract
yeah
yeah okay what i'm gonna have you do is
start at number 67 count backwards by
ones
ending on number 52. do you understand
what i'm about 67
and then 52. you understand
yes okay go ahead and begin 67
66 65 64 63
62 61
60 59 58 57
56 55 54 53
52 51.
how far am i going what number to ask
you to stop on okay okay
um so 50 49
48 47 46 no there's a question
what number did i ask you to stop on do
you remember
no it's 52 52
are you taking medication for your
ailments that you have what kind of
medication
ibuprofen i do take amphetamines
like for my adhd um
but otherwise no there's nothing else
that would
mess with me okay i mean
because your balance is real bad like
you said that that could be from before
but
you're having a hard track time tracking
what we're asking you to do
okay your voice is my my short term
memory is like
not that that helps but i would agree it
probably doesn't help
i mean so you're not taking any
medication at all
no okay not other than what i'm
prescribed
so what are you prescribed i guess but i
took that way
earlier in the day okay no alcohol today
at all
no okay because they said there's a
bottle in your car is that from
some from earlier or something a bottle
of my car
yes that's that's something that i
picked up and that i'm taking home
i'm gonna i'm gonna have you blowing
this breath test just to see if you come
up
so you had no alcohol in the last 12
hours i had maybe a shot
what time was that like an hour and a
half ago
okay i mean here's your your eyes are
super glossy
okay and your balance is pretty poor so
when you said no alcohol and then yeah
now you're saying you did have alcohol
but it's been a while so an hour's not
that long ago i know and i only took it
what time did you have the shot at what
time is it now
that's why i want to know if you know
what time it is i don't know what time
it is
so what time did you have the shot
at least an hour and a half ago
ballpark what time do you think it is
right now i have no idea
maybe nine so you're saying
i mean it's 10 15 10 13 right now
[Music]
your perception of time is off pretty
good too if you're saying it was an hour
and a half ago but you don't even know
what time it is well i don't have a
watch on me
so i don't
give me a favor just wrap your lips
around like you want a drinky straw and
just blow
keep blowing keep blowing you'll hear a
click there you go
we've been told westbound is two yards
that's definitely more than one shot
okay and those things are only a little
uh
um i do think there's more than just
what you're saying besides the alcohol
and the prescription medication he told
us okay
um because i honestly it was just lack
of
not paying attention and then next thing
i know
i was hitting someone
your perception of time and distance
while driving caused the crash
i think you have compromised perception
of time now okay based on
what i've seen and your core balance i
do think you're going to influence is
something more than just the output
yeah okay i think it's a combination too
okay
i feel like that i wasn't able to do the
walking it's because
my ankles are seriously like
hurting right after the whole accident
and that's why i asked you the other
questions
you don't have a very good perception of
time okay
and you couldn't follow the instructions
as far as counting you completely forgot
what number i asked you to stop
okay okay so go and take your hands out
of your pockets okay you are gonna get
placed under arrest for ovi
all right
[Music]
just put your palms together for me
[Music]
you
