GET OUT OF THE STOP GRABBING ME. >> GET OUT OF THE CAR. GET OUT OF THE CAR. >> NO. OH MY GOD. >> These arrogant Karens believed they were important enough to escape the law, but they risked losing not only their car keys, but their entire future. After being stopped for erratic driving, the woman repeatedly let her friend speak for her, but the smell of alcohol quickly stripped every explanation of its credibility. >> Hey, do you happen to have your driver's license and registration on you? >> I don't have my registration, but I have a copy of it. >> Don't have your license but you have a copy? >> Yeah, I have a copy. >> Okay. Ladies having a good fourth or I guess it's the fifth now. >> Yes, I didn't give him my license. It's my car. It's in my purse. >> Your car? >> Yes, it's my >> Okay. >> My friend is good getting me home. >> Okay. Well, she's driving, so we got to have her license. >> I got I know. Stop.

Okay, and you understand the recourse from that, what what takes place with it? >> I I I I think so. You can expand on that if you >> I I will. So, what that means is that I'm going to take the information gathered from your driving pattern and and the roadside that I made with you, roadside contact, and make a determination on what I'm going to do next. So, when I ask, that's, you know, when you say you don't want to dispel my concern, that's okay, that's your right, but then I'm telling you I have to take based off what I have and make a determination. Does that make sense? >> Yes, I do. >> Okay. >> Can I speak to you solely without another party or not? >> Well, I was just it was you and me here before she got here. >> Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm asking. >> So, do you want to perform the field sobriety exercises? >> Can I speak to you solely without her?

I'm just standing here. >> So, all I did was just tell you not to get out of the car. >> Even after the officers arranged a ride, secured the vehicle, and gave her a chance to go home, she quietly returned hours later and made an unbelievable choice. >> Take me instead. >> Why? There's no There's no reason to take you. >> instead. Yes, please. Can you please take me instead? >> Hey, I'm just going to turn this off right now. >> No. Can you please please?
