behind me on the area can I finish
talking never can I finish talking yes
absolutely you can so when I was going
westbound on Amador I heard braks by the
the train tracks and a vehicle got real
close to me and it was a small truck
that's all I know that vehicle turned
down compress and then cut back through
on
Hadley over Valley and continue down
Hadley at a high rate of speed and i'
had been following you the whole time
understand that but that was not me it
was you ma'am cuz I followed you listen
to me I followed you from Valley trying
to catch up to you cuz you were speeding
way ahead of down Valley no you crossed
over Valley so I'm for Valley Hadley
Hadley comes out right up here Right
comes out to
motel you signal to turn left to go
south on Motel you didn't stop at the
stop sign I tried to catch up to you I
had to wait for a couple of cars so I
didn't crash and from
there I watched you there was only one
other vehicle and that was an SUV I
watched this
truck take all of these curves you hit
the median there was dust fing you
continued southbound you made a turn at
the TA and that's when I initiated my
lights I had to wait for a small car to
get out of the way all right so my
question to you is with this driving
behavior okay you stumbled a little bit
out here I'm detecting a little bit of
odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from
your person my question to you is how
much have you had to drink tonight two
glasses of wine okay how long ago was
that not long ago give me a roundabout
maybe 405 minutes okay two glasses of
wine about 45 minutes ago how big were
those glasses of wine was it at a a
restaurant at your house it was at my
house not big okay my next question to
you is are you willing to submit to
standardized fueld sobriety
testing how will that
imp I I don't understand your
question so so I have reason to believe
that you're driving under the
influence of alcohol okay all your
driving behavior like I said I don't
know how you didn't flip your truck or
crash right here thank God you didn't
okay I can I can detect odor of
alcoholic beverage admitted from your
person you got a little bit of a slurge
spee sort of all over the place you
stumbled a little bit getting out of
your vehicle are you willing to submit
standardized field propriety testing
it's a series of tests they're
standardized through the national
highway traffic safety administration
that we are trained to administer out
here in the field all right to determine
impairment this officer will submit you
through those standardized field
sobriety testing because he's going to
take over the DUI investigation at this
point you're not free to go all I need
to know is if you're willing to submit
to these
testings no I don't think I am you're
not okay I'm giving you that
opportunity I appreciate that but okay I
just I don't have my parents like how
old are you I I am 23 years old
but my parents
are well your parents are not even in
this equation okay you're in the vehicle
by yourself I I completely understand
that but my parents pay my bills okay my
parents pay they can they
they protect me as much as I can okay as
much as they can okay so I want to talk
to them them before I can commit to well
I'm not going to give you that
opportunity to talk to them right now
before we make this decision okay then
stand up turn around place your hands
behind your
back you're going to be placed under the
rest for DUI okay so if I were okay you
have a question no no no you can you can
still take these tests if you'd like can
I yes I'll take the handcuffs off you if
you willing to submit to test I will
give you that opportunity you understand
I'm telling you I smell the alcohol

willing to allow you to take these tests
if you would like I'm a reasonable
officer you you will let me take these
tests I just I don't want to involve my
parents because they do are you going to
take the test or
not what are the implications if I do
take the test w we we do the test you
