been a paramedic for 20 years okay so if you're going to try to pull one over on me don't do that shut up put her in handcuffs no please on said is on July 16th 2024 a police officer noticed a car driving erratically and failing to stay within its Lane suspecting that the driver might be impaired or otherwise unsafe the officer initiated a traffic stop be a black golf C occupied by two fill the signal hello hello how's it going tonight good how are you good so you know that thing has blinkers right yeah we just figured that out and they're so dang loud after it's quiet residential area people don't want to hear that mess they are very loud but you still got to use them okay and there's a line painted on the street at the stop signs you have stop okay I got you all right you got your driver license with you sure during the investigation the officer detected a strong odor of alcohol on the female driver's breath when questioned about her sobriety the female responded by laughing at the officer's inquiry this reaction prompted the officer to further investigate as the smell of alcohol and her response raised concerns about her potential impairment I don't know how to put this thing in like Parks so I'm just going to make I don't think I'm moving but push if you push that yeah see where it says the p yeah got there you go perfect gotcha all right do you guys live here or you visiting we're visiting excellent home in the morning all right how much have you had to drink tonight me yes I had a glass of wine about 5 four hours ago okay and nothing since in nope okay where's my driver's license oh I don't know okay hold on you got to find it yeah I can't get on the plane without that let's see hold on so just so you know you can't have an open container of alcohol and a golf cart telling you what's okay I that's what he's telling you do that right now that's out just like a car you can get a ticket same with the seat belts there's seat belts on golf carts you

God you're killing me okay so here's the deal okay is I can smell alcohol coming from your breath I'm con list talking to her okay so I'm concerned that you may be operating a motor vehicle well under the influence of alcohol so I'm going to ask you if you'll consent to doing Fields brat exercises to dispel my suspicion of that sure I had a stroke recently so if you see me wobbling initially the female driver denied being drunk however when the officer instructed her to exit the car and step onto the road she complied this action was part of the officer's process to further assess her condition and perform variety tests given the suspicion of her driving Under the Influence that's what it is okay no worries so I got a couple questions we're going to go over that stuff real quick I'm going to have you step away from the golf cart we'll go up on the sidewalk here real quick okay it's all right you don't have any weapons on you correct no I know your p hold on I told you I had a

the one okay it's fine I would not do that you did it's all recorded that's fine perfect is this your purse it is okay how about man well it's a little hard okay well make it work so did she do anything that you want her to go to jail uh she resisted me a bit about going to the other side of the road and then resisted while hand yeah yes sir all right take her jail take her jail hey Mr hessie um 104 thank you her driver's license is suspended out of Georgia according to com okay well that's probably why she lied about it then did you know your license was suspended no I did okay I didn't know either yeah no I did not know okay I know before but interesting to find out okay I'll see if I can I'll see if I can see I don't know if I can see in Georgia so I'll check for though okay um you've been Cooperative I don't have any concerns about you but if I take the handcuffs off you're not going to punch me in the face right no all right hey will you take mine off too she punch the T pun the only thing that I'm going to ask of you is when I take these handcuffs off I want you to put I'm going to start with your right hand I want you to put it on top of your head I'm going to take the left one off put it on top of your head then you can have a SE all right okay are you going to provide a breath sample no I think I I mean do I need to call my lawyer I so you're not entitled to a lawyer right now okay but you gave me you read me my right so does that mean I have to entitle to a lawyer not right at this moment no so this is the administrative side of the law um regarding a driver's license I just need a yes or no if you will provide a breath sample um no not at this time no reason for it I will read you another thing here in just a minute and then I'll ask you again okay all right but I can't answer this question without asking my lawyer so I'm confused about that again this is the administrative side of the law and you're not entitled to a lawyer but if I answer the question is incorrect what happens then there is no incorrect correct answer but I'll read you something here after arresting both the driver and the passenger the police placed them in the patrol car and transported them to the police station for further investigation at the station the driver cooperated fully providing detailed information about her actions and the incident this isn't very long just listen to it if you have if you have questions at the end um that's fine um just wait till we're wait till I'm done otherwise I'll lose my spot and you're just going to have to look any talk okay you me read it myself nope uh all right so I officer Joshua hessie of the kws police department if you failed to submit to the test that I have requested of you you're privileged to committing a misdemeanor refusal to submit to the test that I have requested of you is admissible as evidence in any criminal proceeding okay that's called the implied consent warning do you understand what I just read to you I do okay so it's saying if you refuse to provide a breast sample your driver's license will be suspended for at least one year and up to 18 months if there's been a previous refusal okay I need to ask my L about this all right do you still refuse to submit to the test knowing that your driving privileges will be suspended in ACC in accordance with Florida state law I mean I'm going to tell you I don't I can't answer that question without asking somebody what the legal part of this is okay that's I can't so I can't say yes or no okay so um I'm going to mark you as you are refusing I will give you one final opportunity because I have to set up the machine and like I said you're not entitled to a lawyer right now so you can make a final law then why don't I why don't I have to stay here because again this is civil this part is civil there's still there's two sides of the law civil crial anymore because if I do that then what happens I'm telling you if you don't provide a breast sample your driver's license will be suspended for a year okay um I hear what you're saying but I need to ask my lawyer what that means for me because I know I just need that out okay so like I said I'll get the machine set up it'll give you 2 minutes while it's all set up if you don't provide a breath sample we're going to hit the refusal button and we are going to mark you as a refusal all right so where's it being recorded there and there is that right there there there video in all over the place yep why is everybody so like aggressive and mood is there a reason for it all she said was can I get some water please and he said you're not getting it we're like good outstanding upstanding people no reason for that just blow like you're blowing up a balloon as hard and as long as you can okay all right go ahead and then just you got to make sure you keep that t you got to way harder there you go you got to keep doing that keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going you're almost there I know you're almost out of here got it got it oh man that hurt I know [Music] keep going keep going you're almost there see if we got it yep we got it okay cool okay so your samples were 0.031 and 028 so you were under the legal limit so what I'm going to ask you now is so I you said under the what under the legal limit okay so I arrest uh based on impairment okay impairment that I see it could be from alcohol could be from drugs could be medically induced um things like that so we have uh people that have been specifically trained to recognize if something is impairment based on alcohol drugs or if it's a medical um condition like you were saying okay um if we can get one of those people to come down it's not anybody that you saw tonight it's nobody that's working right now and participating an evaluation with them it is basically some of the same things the exercises that we did but you get to do it in a much more controlled environment flat floor nice light and then they do a few extra ones they check blood pressures and things like that it's another it's another opportunity for you to prove your innocence is that some is that something that you would participate in or not so that that says that I'm under the legal limit yes ma'am what is there a need for me to do that you can either do it or not you're you're being lodged at the jail either way and why is that if I'm under the legal limit because again IR arrest based on impairment so I saw impairment I cannot uh say if that impairment is due to a medical condition or due to drugs and alcohol is out of control you know what no there's no need for that I'm not impaired I haven't done anything and I've been very cooperative and followed all of your tests and under legal limit so and I cooperated with you there so I'm there's nothing for me to be I haven't done anything all right understand despite the driver's breathalyzer reading being below the legal limit she was charged with driving under the influence and fraud impersonation the passenger faced charges for resisting arrest the driver's behavior and additional evidence led to the DUI charge while the passenger's actions during the arrest resulted in her charge if you enjoyed this video be sure to hit the like button share your thoughts in the comments section and don't forget to subscribe to our channel to stay
