She's shocked, almost pleading, but the [music] officer calmly explains the consequences. A night in jail, a $500 bond, and the long shadow of a DUI charge. What's powerful here is the humanity. She worries about her parents yelling at her. She insists she only had three, [music] but the law doesn't measure excuses. It measures impairment. An impairment behind the wheel can cost lives. What's that? >> What's going to happen to my car? >> It's going to get towed. I'll let you know which tow truck company it is that's going to come get it. >> And what's going to happen to me? >> Uh so you're going to go down to the Orient Road Jail. That's where I'm going to ask that you provide a breath sample. Um from there you will have to stay for a minimum of 8 hours. So it's 12:30 now, so you're looking at 8:30 would be about the earliest that you could be able to get out. Um it looks It's from the information I have right now it's just a misdemeanor DUI, which typically is a $500 bond. Um so I got You had a two or three debit cards or credit cards or whatever in your in your wallets, so I'll grab those. Um if you have $500 on those, you can use those to bond yourself out. You could also go through a bail bondsman if you wanted to, which typically Okay, which typically that's like 10%, so either whichever way you do it that's that's kind of up to you. Um and then from there it all goes through the court system. So tonight you're going to go down to the Orient Road Jail. Like I said, you got to stay for 8 hours. And then the it's a $500 bond. And then after that, it's all >> So, after this, what do I have to do? >> Tonight or in the future? >> In the future. >> Uh To be honest with you, it's probably going to all go through the court system. So, depending on what the breath results are, um the state attorney might will look at it and offer like maybe a diversion program. Um potentially, I don't know. You know, that's that's up to them. Uh and then you're going to have an attorney. Either you're going to hire one or they're going to give you a public defender. And your your attorney and the state attorney will talk to each other and you know, if if your attorney feels that taking it to court is the best course of action for you, then that's what we'll do. Um if they come to an agreement and, you know, kind of kind of find something that suits everybody, then that that's something that happens a lot, too. So, I mean, there's really a lot of different possible outcomes that can happen, so I can't tell you definitively what will happen.
