Thank you. Okay. All right. Listen to
me. I'm about to tell you something
important. You're under arrest for DWI.
The New Mexico Implied Consent Act
requires you to submit to a breath test
to determine the alcohol content of your
blood. After you take our test, you have
the right to choose an additional
independent test. If you choose to take
this additional independent test, you
have the right to a reasonable
opportunity to arrange for a physician,
a licensed nurse, or laboratory
technician or technologist who is
employed by a hospital or physician of
your own choice to perform an additional
chemical test. The cost of this
additional test will be paid for by the
law enforcement agency. Do you agree to
take our test?
It's a yes or a no. That's a test. It's
a breath test. Yeah. You do? Okay. So,
we're going to do that at the station
after your deprivation period's up.
Okay. Go ahead and have a seat. Thank
you. Can I um We'll get all your
property for you. Have a seat.
Have a seat in the car. I'm not being
rude, but we keep having to tell you
like so many times it gets old after a
while. Okay.
It's right
there. I got you. What about them who
floating? They're not intoxicated. Yeah,
they are. Scoot over so you don't get
hit. Thank you. Yeah, they are.
Move. Do you have any children in your
care?
No. No. Do you have any depend any other
dependent we should know about?
Okay. Here. Go ahead and step out for
[Music]
me. We're going to walk towards that
door.
28.
[Music]
Mhm. Stay right there.
Adam Charles, step inside.
Go to the right. We're going to go right
through these double doors right here to
your
right. We're going to go back towards
this cabinet.
Yep. When you go through this door, make
a left. There'll be blue chairs to your
left. I want you to sit down on those
blue chairs right over there.
[Applause]
All
right. So, as I had read the implied
consent act advisory earlier, you said
you wanted to you would do our test. Um,
so in order to do this test, I'm going
to let my machine run through its
functioning calibration checks. This is
a brand new mouthpiece. It has not been
opened. All right. Go ahead and step up
here. You're going to blow in this
mouthpiece until the tone stops.
Okay. Come closer. What is this going to
tell? I'm sorry. What is this going to
tell? Blood alcohol content. I know, but
will it affect the charges against me? I
can't hear you, Jada. Will it against or
will it um affect the charges against
me?
Okay. So, like, so if you don't want to,
so this is probably the wrong time to
ask
because it'll time out. Okay? So, if you
don't, um, I cannot force you to take
our test, but if you refuse, you will
lose your New Mexico driving license or
non-resident operating privilege for 1
year. If you are convicted in court of
driving while under the influence, you
may also receive a greater sentence
because you refuse to be tested. Do you
understand? I understand. Yeah. Okay. Do
you agree to be tested?
Um
um say yes or no. I understand but it's
like I wasn't the one driving. Okay,
Jada. If this time's out I understand,
sir. I know. But can I at least speak my
part? You heard I heard your part and I
told you I can look into it. Does it
matter? At this point, no. Okay, then.
Okay. Yeah. Yes or no? Yeah. Okay. If my
story, if my part doesn't matter. Yeah,
whatever.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
go. Keep going. Go, go, go, go, go, go,
go. Stop.
Okay, have a
seat. All right, this is your last
sample. Come over here. Do the same
thing that you just did. Okay, just blow
into your mouthpiece until the tone
stops. Want to get in trouble for it?
What do you mean? I
the only thing by law I'm allowed to
read if you refuse the test is just I'm
going to be reading that again. Okay. I
know. But if I make go over the um limit
or whatever will get in trouble. What do
you mean? Well, you're kind of already
in trouble. I understand. Right. Yeah, I
understand. Okay. So again, if this
times out,
then what?
So if you're going to take the test, do
it before it times out. I understand,
but if I blow more, if I fail, like I'm
just trying to figure out like what's
going on right now.
So you already got one charge at the
scene of an accident. You're being
charged with DWI regardless of whether
you blown into the instrument or not.
Okay. Mhm.
But that's up to you on whether you want
to be tested or not. And it's most right
now if I do. The only thing I can tell
you, Jade, is that I have to read that
again. Okay.
So, just like I read before, I cannot
force you to take a test. I understand.
Okay. I can't s Okay, then I'll just I'm
not trying if you want if you change
your mind before this time's up. You
understand? Am I right? I'm just That's
it. Like if I Okay, but I'm telling you
all I can do is under the influence. I
get it. But if I if I um blow and I
fail, what will happen to me? I don't
know. You have to go to court, right?
You have the right to challenge
everything in court, right? I failed
one. I understand that. It's not
necessarily failing.
It is. But
if you change your mind, do it before
this machine's out. J, I don't want to
change my mind. I'm just trying to What
will happen? If you want to blow it,
it's right here.
fail. What's going to happen when I
fail?
I don't get your question. Like, you're
still being charged with DWI regardless
of whether you blow into the machine or
not. But it's going to be um So, if you
don't blow, then it's aggravated. I
understand. But if I do blow and it is
still fatal, then what is that? You
still get arrested. I don't I know that.
I don't the charges. Well, it depends on
what the level show.
Seriously,
even though I'm telling you the people
who drove here, I told you I can look
into it. Okay. But right now, witnesses
are saying that you were the one
driving. Okay. I'm a witness, too. Okay.
And it's dually noted, but I have two
against one, right? But Okay. So, again,
I can't force you to, but this is
entirely up to you. Still, it's not me.
So, Jada, what I'm going to tell you,
this is about to time out soon. Okay.
So, if you But
it's up to you. No, I'm going to, but
I'm just Okay. Well, if you're going to,
Jada, if you're going to hurry before it
turns out, but I still got to look out
for my race. Too late now. Really? I
warned you.
[Music]
Seriously.
Yep. Have a seat. Seriously,
I have no control over the machine. You
didn't say hello. I told you before the
machine times out. You did not say it
wrong though. I was asking questions.
Okay. Well, we're kind of past that
point. Go and have a seat. Can I try one
more time? If it left me. Can you
please? I I didn't know how how long.
Nope. Only got one sample. Please,
officer. It's too late now. Tell me.
Jay, look. It's too It's too late, dude.
Are you serious? Yes, I'm serious. It's
too late. I can't just redo the test.

wreck.
Well, it's not great.
So, over here.
So, just walk right up to that tire and
face the car. I probably wouldn't be
very nice if you actually heard anybody,
but we got lucky. If you actually heard
anybody,
Huh?
said, "I probably wouldn't be as nice if
you actually hurt somebody, but luckily
that's
still to be mean. I don't get paid to be
mean."
Well, here's the deal. I'll be real with
you. I'm not here to lecture you. Like I
said, I'm not here to be mean to you. I
don't get paid to do that. But we have
video. Like, we have video of you
crashing into the first car, doing all
this stuff. Like I said, I'm not I'm not
going to be mean to you, especially
nobody's hurt, you know, so it's okay.
It just sucks, you know, all the
insurance and all that other crap that's
going to have to happen. But I honestly
I feel, you know, like it, you know, I'm
sorry that you have to go through this,
but it's something you have to. Okay.
I don't cuz I don't I don't judge people
based off their history, but based on
what I have been told, it sounds like
this is your third experience with this
and you're way too young to be doing any
of this. I'm totally my second. Okay. I
believe I know
it's my second, but it's
like like I said, it could be a lot
worse. We've seen a lot worse. We've
seen people get killed second time. They
I live with my roommates. They still my
car.
I don't record them, but still. This
thing I don't know. This is
Yeah. I don't know. Like I said, we have
video. You're too young to be doing
this. It's something you don't have to
do. It's easy to get rides these days.
Uber, Lift, Friends, whatever it may be,
right? And like I said, people die
because of these things. And luckily
nobody did it.
[Music]
