Have you been drinking today at all, sir? >> No, I have not. >> You promise? >> Promise. >> Okay. Can we do a quick field sobriety test on you? >> No, we can't do that. >> Okay, and why is that? >> Well, I'm just trying to get my report done so I can get out of here. >> Well, I understand that, but what I'm what I'm saying, just from the public's viewpoint, right? >> You want to call my supervisor and have him give me a PBT, I don't That's fine with that, but >> Okay. >> I'm not going to do >> You just won't follow the finger real quick and that's it? >> Officer safety issue. >> Okay. >> A man approaches an officer sitting in his personal vehicle after noticing a beer cap in a cooler, questioning whether the officer had been drinking. He requests a breathalyzer test and permission to search the vehicle, but the officer calmly refuses and asserts his rights. A supervisor is then called to address the situation. Eventually, the officer agrees to take a breathalyzer test at his supervisor's request, but what will the final result reveal? Watch until the end to find out. >> Hello. >> Hey. Hold on one second for you. Hold on. Do you need something else? >> Yeah, so >> Okay, hold on. Let me get my >> Okay. >> Sure. So, I have a couple of questions for you. I believe I believe that to be your vehicle right there, the silver one. >> The silver one, yeah. >> Yep. Yeah, I see the the park on the back that had your name and stuff on it. I also see a cooler in the front seat and then a beer cap that's on the in the center console. >> Okay. >> So, just curious, I mean, do you have an open container in the vehicle or >> Did you see an open container? >> Well, I saw a cap and a cooler, which would lead me to believe that there's probably some alcohol in that vehicle. >> There are no open containers in the car. >> Okay. Have you been drinking today at all, sir? >> No, I have not. >> You promise? >> Promise. >> Okay. Can we do a quick field sobriety test on you? >> No, we can't do that. >> Okay, and why is that? >> Well, I'm trying to get my report done so I can get out of here. >> Well, I understand that, but what I'm what I'm saying, just from the public's viewpoint, right? >> You want to call my supervisor and have him give me a PBT, I don't That's fine with that, but I'm not going to do >> You just won't follow the finger real quick and that's it? >> Officer safety issue. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Do you mind if I look in your vehicle real quick? Just the front seat there. >> Like you were doing? >> No, but I mean open the car door and look in that cooler and see if there's any open containers. >> No. >> Okay. And why is that? Just out of curiosity. >> and like I said, I'm trying to get out of here in time. >> I get that, but if if there's nothing to hide then I >> No, I'm not going to let you look in my vehicle. But thank you though. >> Okay. Well, can I speak with your supervisor then, sir? >> Sure. Sergeant Peter out front on his way out. >> Okay. You understand my concern, right? >> No, I don't. >> Okay. Well, >> And you're you're I'm >> I'm just doing my job, you know. Hey, sergeant. >> How are you? >> Good. If you would if he can watch you so I can show you what I'm talking about, I'll go to the opposite side of the vehicle so you can look in without, you know, me being behind you, but I just want to show you something in his vehicle right here. So, I'm going to go on this side so that way you can go to the other side and I have no weapons on me or anything like that. I'll I'll show you right now just so you can see it. Okay. I just want to let you know in in this vehicle. Yes, in this vehicle. So, this is Officer Bennings and if you look right here towards me in that little pen compartment, you'll see a bottle cap that's open from a beer. And so my concern is is that obviously that would lead me to believe there's maybe an open container in the vehicle or something like that. >> Okay. >> And also it'd give me some concern that maybe Officer Benning had been drinking today or something like that. >> Okay. >> Um he won't let me look in the vehicle which is fine, but I think he's obviously been driving here and he's about to get in his personal vehicle and and go home. So, I asked him if I could give him a field sobriety test and he said no. >> Um >> Would you mind taking care of that then? >> I'll address it with him, yes. >> Okay. I'll I'll wait right here then cuz my concern is is that the man has a firearm, you know, he's operating a vehicle. The same thing that would apply to me obviously if I got pulled over, you know. And I don't I I don't think it's unreasonable to just check it out real quick. >> To check it out? >> Yeah. >> Sure. Yeah, he's actually uh just going to grab his duty bag and I'll address it with him, yeah. >> Okay. So, and then, you know, my thought process too is is maybe we we I would like to know the outcome. >> Okay. >> So, how do we do that? >> Yeah, I'm not going to do it right here. I said I'm going to address it with him and I'll I'll deal with that, but just a bottle cap inside someone's vehicle doesn't give me probable cause to believe they're intoxicated. >> It doesn't believe It doesn't give you probable cause to also believe there might be an open container in the vehicle. >> He's not in the vehicle. >> I understand that, but he's about to be in the vehicle and there's also Okay. And so, did What did he show up in? How did he get to work? >> know. >> Okay. Well, that's the important thing, right? Cuz he's a police officer with a gun on him. And and and and I totally get it. I you know, but then he goes out in the public and enforces the law and my only concern is, you know, is he I mean, if he's not intoxicated, great. That's good. That's what I want. I don't want him to be intoxicated or have any alcohol in his system at all because as you know, that would void his >> It's against our policy. >> Correct. Yeah, well, it's against I think most police departments, which obviously that's that's a good thing, but um so, I just think it's important that we just address that and then we can show the community that, hey, you know, this is this is they take this seriously. >> We do take it very seriously and I appreciate you being a student enough to bring that to my attention, so >> Yeah, of course. >> I'm going to address it with him in the way I see fit. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, okay? >> Okay. All right. Well, I appreciate it, Sergeant. Okay. All right. Well, hopefully it works out. I'll be I'll call back. >> He's willing to take a PBT right now, I guess. >> That'd be great. Then it would settle it and I could leave cuz he's been very kind, he's been very nice and professional. >> What year is >> 2018 >> Uh, well, I'm not going to say it right now. >> Oh. After I take it, you will? >> Yeah, maybe. >> Yeah, maybe. >> I'll do that. I'll do that. In fact, >> Do you know how these work? >> Uh, a little bit, yeah. >> So, right now it's just giving us a temperature. Okay. Going to air blank. So, it's sampling the air we're breathing right now. That means there's nothing in that sample of air. >> Do you >> I don't Whatever. I don't care who who does it. I don't I mean, you can try and figure out how to cheat it, but I don't >> That that says test and that means it's ready to go. So he's going to blow it. >> Cool. >> It has to have two asterisks that come up. The first one just shows if there's air going through. >> Okay. >> The second one will show that if there was an adequate sample. >> Okay. >> And that quick means it was an adequate sample? And then it thinks and it calibrates and you can see it says 000. >> My name is John. >> I can't put the cord on. >> Oh yeah. Okay, we'll do one of these these elbow bumps. >> I think we already introduced ourselves. >> Yes, but I I didn't tell you my name before. So now I'm going to tell you my name. My name's John. I'm a First Amendment Auditor. What I do is I go out and I check with the with the I'm going to take my mask off if you guys are cool with that. Is that okay? >> Yes, sir. >> I'm going to stay I'll stay, you know, I'll stay 6 ft back. Okay, so what I do is I go around to different law enforcement facilities and I check them out. And I'm not trying to hassle you. I didn't think you were drunk, but what I'm going to do is I'm always going to investigate things as much as I can and then release that to the public. >> Okay. >> Okay? >> All right. >> Two things I'll I'll say right now. Number one, you're very professional. >> Thank you. >> You're an outstanding officer. I've met a lot of officers. You were amazing. >> Thank you. >> You were willing, you were honest, you were forthright, like you were great. I get the annoyance. You should be annoyed. I totally get it. How many people do you pull over and they're like, "Oh hey, I'm super excited." You know what I mean? >> Yeah, it's just it's >> Thank you guys. >> Yep. >> I want to get out of your hair. Take care, guys. Stay safe. >> Thank you. >> Thanks for what you do. >> You bet. Thank you.
