okay yeah would you mind if I take a
look at your eyes real
quick
um do we have to do this or is there any
other option I call I um since I'm
seeing signs of impairment at this point
I'm going to conduct my DUI
investigation okay okay um so I don't
have people call rides or anything like
this I'm going to request a couple field
sobriety exercise from you and then
we'll go from there okay okay at this
point um so my dad is actually a lawyer
okay I'm going to I feel like I should
call a lawyer um I'd just like to get
some basic information from you okay
you're not able to make any phone calls
right now cuz we're in the middle of an
investigation okay okay so if you can
come back to the front of my cruiser
real quick I'll just get some basic
information from you I will explain if
you do not wish to participate in the
field sobriety exercises the consequence
is that entail that okay okay yeah
yeah so I I um your Honda is that
registered to you only what year is your
Accord
2022 are you feeling sick or injured
this evening no do you have any physical
defects are you diabetic nope um
epileptic like a seizure disorder do you
see a doctor or dentist outside of
routine
Care dentist yes
and are you taking any
medications how would you consider your
overall health good fair or po good very
good do you have any injuries that would
affect your day-to-day activities okay
so
um I'll ask you again would you mind if
I take a look at your eyes real
quick um I feel like I should call a
lawyer um so you're not able to have a
lawyer here because it's a DUI
investigation Okay so
but I will request that you participate
in a walk and turn in a one leg stand
would you be willing to participate in
the two additional field sobriety
exercises if I say no what does that
entail um so if you refuse to
participate you're forcing me to make a
decision based on my observations up
until this point okay additionally
should you be charged like 2 minutes I
know additionally should you be charged
with DUI the refusal could be used
against you okay so the field
exercises are to dispel any concerns
that I have that you're driving well
impaired okay I can smell it on your
breath your eyes are bloodshot in water
okay I know I'm going to fail they're
not pass or fail there's just Clues on
each there's eight total Clues on the
walk there's four total on the one one
leg stand okay they're not pass or fail
um there's just clues that we look for I
explain and demonstrate all the
exercises I make sure that you
understand before you get started if you
have any there's no way to pass it if
I'm if I've
drinking well like they're not pass or
fail but there's evals that I do on
people that I don't see many signs of
impairment and I don't believe that I
could develop probable cause okay and I
don't that my DUI investigation's over
okay is there anything I can
do can I I can't force you to do the
field sobriety exercises you know the
consequences if you don't participate
and I don't call rides because I don't
give breaks I'm assigned to the Traffic
Unit I'm assigned as a DUI officer if I
gave you a break I'd have to give
everybody else after you a break I
should have given you giving everybody
before you a break so I don't I don't
give breaks like that I don't have
people call
Ubers or anything understand so my hands
are kind of tied if I if I'm seeing
signs of impairment I have to handle it
okay
um so sorry I might call
my
dad it has to be your your decision
okay just it has to be your decision all
right do you want to participate in the
field Surety exercises I can have my
partner draw the line for you right
now hey can you I have the chalk right
there I don't I mean I'm I'm so my dad
is a lawyer and
he used to be a cop he used to be a daa
cop in New York so like I know and I
have cops in New York connection
like I just I'm going to call my dad and
ask him what I should do I'm sorry I
really should not have driven tonight
and I know that now
so cuz there's no way to pass this test
not P or fail like I I demonstrate the
entire exercise so everything that I
explain in my
instructions everything that I explain
in my instructions and my demonstration
is exactly what you need to do if you do
everything to a te then there shouldn't
be any problems okay every all of all of
the clues that I look for that I I will
explain and demonstrate and if you
follow that to a te and you have zero a
Clues zero out of four Clues zero out of
six Clues on the hgn then there would be
no reason for me to yeah
okay would you like me to demonstrate it
real quick for you okay thank you
so I'll have in the beginning I have you
start in the starting position okay so
I'll have you start at the end of this
yellow line right
here so the starting position you put
your left foot at the end of that yellow
line and place your right foot in front
of your left with your heels and Toes
touching so it's going to look just like
this with your hands down to your side
so in the starting position I don't want
you to move until I tell you to begin I
ask if you understand and then I ask if
you have any
questions and then whatever answer you
give me I can explain the starting
position again or I can proceed which I
would proceed into the walking phase so
when I tell you to begin from here I
would like you to take nine Heel To Toe
steps down the line it's going to look
just like this 1 2 3 and continue all
the way until you get to nine when you
reach that nine step keep your front
foot on the line you remove your back
foot from the line to make a series of
small steps to turn around and you're
just going to take the nine heel the toe
steps back down the line the same the
same manner that you came nine heel the
toe steps back okay just like this one 2
3 continue all the way to till 9 okay
okay when you reach that final ninth
step step off the line the exercise is
complete so while you're doing all of
this you're just going to look down at
your feet count each of your steps out
loud keep your arms to your side and
then once you start walking don't stop
yes so that that's the gist of the
walking turn everything that I explained
is everything that I look for okay okay
yep good yes okay so yeah left foot at
the end of that yellow
line right foot in front of your left
with your heels and Toes yeah make sure
your right foot is in front of your and
he arms down to your side do you have
any questions before you get started do
you understand yes all right you may
begin yes ma'am just like how I
demonstrated nine heel the toe steps
down series of small steps to turn
around nine heel the toe steps
back that turn around f it was in the
manner that I
demonstrated
all right so I have a oneel leg stand if
you want to come over here you don't
have to worry about the line so it's
you're just standing with your feet
together arms to your side when I tell
you to begin from this yeah if you're
comfortable there can I ask why it's all
part of the field sobriety exercises
okay next step or did I fail so there's
three tests that are standardized okay
so when I first asked you if I could
look at your eyes I'd be checking for
like horizontal Gaz to stagis so it
would just be like the involuntary
jerking of your eyes over a horizontal
plane so that's the first one you didn't
want me to check your eyes Okay walk and
turn Okay and then the one leg stand so
this is the third the last one one at
the end of the the one leg stand we'll
we'll go from there okay okay would you
still be willing to participate in the
one leg stand what is it exactly yes so
you'll just stand with your feet
together arms to your side when I tell
you to begin from this position I'd like
you to raise either foot whichever one
you feel most comfortable with okay it's
going to look just like this
approximately 6 in off the ground I'd
like you to keep your foot parallel with
the ground legs straight arms down to
your side I'd like you to look down at
your foot while you count out loud 1,00
1 1,002 2 13 and continue to count until
I tell you to stop if you can I count 1
2 three yes just continue to count until
I tell you to stop okay if you happen to
put your foot down like this which I
don't want you to do raise that same
foot that you had held up before up and
continue to count where you left off 1,4
1005 and so on okay while you have your
leg out like this I don't want you to
hop or sway or use your arms for balance
okay do you have any questions no do you
understand yes okay so I'm on your time
whenever you raise your foot I'll start
my watch it's not a secret it's a 30
second test so when you raise your foot
I'll start the watch but remember to
continue to count until I tell you to
stop okay you to count out loud yes so
keep counting until I tell you to stop
okay
yes one 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27
28 29 30 31 32 stop you could relax okay
so if you want to come back to the front
of my cruiser I have a couple questions

very direct kind of to help me better
