when'd you stop drinking
it's been a couple hours ago okay how
much you have
uh maybe four beers four beers yeah okay
how much do you usually drink
about that about four beers yeah and
then you drive home
[Music]
hey guys welcome back to the channel the
video that i have for today
is going to show an incident where an
officer responds to a call
about a guy who got his car stuck in the
snow
the officer arrives on scene begins
talking to this gentleman
and begins to believe that this guy
might be intoxicated
so he calls for another car to stand by
and wait for
this guy's vehicle they go off to do
some field sobriety tests
one thing i'd like to note i get a lot
of comments
whenever i post a video about somebody
getting an ovi
and everyone's always asking why do
people do why do the officers
do so many tests well the reason for
that
in the united states or at least here in
ohio you can't just walk up to somebody
put a tube in their mouth and tell them
to blow you need to develop
probable cause in order to compel
somebody
to give a breathalyzer so what you're
going to see
is the officer is going to take this guy
somewhere and they're going to run
through a series of tests
so they can determine if this guy's
blood alcohol
content is likely above the legal limit
and then they can compel this gentleman
to take a breathalyzer
still has the right to refuse a
breathalyzer but with that refusal
will come some separate penalties so
with all that being
said i hope you enjoy this video
i hope you learned something and i'll
talk to you soon
columbus police peg one two eight
