initially the driver's condition raises concerns yeah yeah yeah you can tell say again um he's got some blood coming from somewhere but unknown where it's at possibly on his hand or from his [Music] nose hey am I going through now go ahead the officers document everything meticulously ensuring the process follow legal standards how do you pronounce your last name sir Kaa KSA okay Mr KSA do me a

little bit of a yeah yeah bet yeah and then I'll have one of the guys do the 46 just just him I didn't see any alcohol or anything else inside the vehicle um obviously you can tell with him when I first when I first rolled up he was sitting on top of the car seemed perfectly fine wasn't injured he was good but you could tell when I was talking with him you could just tell he was completely out of it regardless of that being either alcohol or due to the crash uhhuh so um and then of course still talking with him more you could just tell it you know something obviously was wrong but you're able to get more when you spoke with them more than I did so um and then Lord's going to get that 41 the she the witness to that and then we'll get I'll have I'll have L get you the 46 and get that taken care of witness accounts suggest he was driving recklessly confirming he likely lost control due to excessive speed and impairment officers proceed to gather further evidence to determine the extent of the issue so what did she say uh so she said she was a little farther back and then um saw this guy saw him turn his blink around to start taking the exit but she thought that he was like going a little fast uhhuh and by the time she got up here uh she was just like where'd the car go cuz it was and then she like as she went by she saw it on the side right there yeah she said that it was probably going he was probably going too fast for the exit and just lost it but that's it's really it okay yeah cuz by looking at it he started back over here I'm assuming he say start right there yeah right there right there he came across cuz there spots right there and then he crossed and there's the track down so I bet what it's right there so I bet what happened you see right there he was

yep [Music] okay all right for this one I'm going to have in the same spot but I'm going to go up I'm going to go okay do the exact same thing just with your eyes okay yeah all right I'll have you relax a little bit while I explain this next one um my finger is going to be in the same position where it was just for that one but with this one what I'm going to do is I'm going to move it in a circular motion and I'm going to bring it towards the bridge of your nose okay it's going to look like I'm going to touch your nose but I'm not going to okay when I bring my finger towards your nose if and you're going to continue to follow the tip of my finger when I bring it towards the bridge of your nose and you feel like your eyes are going to cross just naturally let them cross okay okay so again just with your eyes do not move your head one more time after conducting the eye test he explains the Walkin turn test be a Walkin turn exercise um I know that we're on a little bit of a hill I guess would you want to do it here would you like to for doesn't matter what are we doing the walk and turn exercise what are we doing here what do you mean going to breath Li me or are we just doing this what do you mean I don't know we're just doing the standardized field sobriety exercises okay so again so we can we can back down a little bit further unless you just feel like you it's comfortable doing it right here wherever you want to it's up to you I want to give you the benefit of the doubt doesn't matter to me I just need you to decide I can't decide for you do it down here then do it down there then okay so my supervisor is on his way and because we are on the back side of my camera this isn't going to record it so I'm going to wait for his squad car to get here that way the rest of these exercises will be recorded on camera wonderful wonderful perfect your driver side brake lamp does not work when you apply the brakes huh we see why would you mind getting in my car and no I'm not going to get into your car okay I can't see why it's not working it's cuz it's shut off right now okay yeah so we're going to do the walk and turn down here where it's more level sure so agree right here is more flat more of a level surface sure okay would you want to back up a little bit so you don't have to run into this B me load it up okay what I want you to do is I want you to take nine heel toe steps down that imaginary line when you get to your ninth step your left foot is going to be your lead foot you're going to keep it planted take a series of small steps tur in 180° and then you're going to take nine heel toe steps back down that imaginary line okay it's going to look a little something like this one 2 3 the councilman approaches the balance test with calm confidence seemingly convinced he'll pass one 2 3 okay I only did three but you're going to do nine for this exercise okay when you do this exercise what I'd like you to do is I want you watch your feet keep your arms down at your side count out loud and then don't stop the exercise until you've completed the entire thing wonderful do you understand that y anything I can clear up for you I don't think so okay you can begin whenever you're ready one 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 turning 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 eight 9 perfect I'll have you again face this way for this one it does not matter it's either foot of your choice you're going to choose what you're going to do is you're going to raise whichever one you choose to do so approximately 6 in off the ground and you're to keep both of your legs straight arms down to your side you're going to look down at that raised foot and then you're going to count out loud 1004 1005 and so on and so forth okay so just wait just wait a second so when you do this exercise what I want you to do is I want you to look down to that raised foot keep both of your legs straight even the one that you have raised okay you're going to keep your arms down at your side and then you're going to count out loud okay okay for this one um you're going to keep doing this exercise until I tell you to stop do you understand that so it's not till 1005 it's just till Noe I just stopped that 1005 to to speed up the demonstration okay so whenever you are ready you can begin and then I'll tell you to stop however his impaired coordination is clear prompting the officers to administer a breathalyzer test 1 1002 13 1004 1005 1006 17 10089 110 111 at 12 1345 2016 2017 you can keep keep going okay 1089 1020 1021 okay you can st22 all right so you said the two beers yep okay

to find a ride you can't drive what are you talking about dude as the situation unfolds the woman grows increasingly agitated accusing the officers of targeting her unfairly she repeatedly reminds the officers of her status as an elected official and a school bus driver suggesting that these positions should exempt her from legal scrutiny so I I think the Public's going to like the way that you're
