I suspect you're driving under the influence. Would you be willing to perform standardized field sobriety tests for me? >> Absolutely. 1,007 1,008 1,009 >> We got pictures of her nodding off behind the >> You're under arrest for DUI. Put your [music] hands behind your back. >> DUI investigations are very common in policing and it's an unfortunate commentary that an officer can make a DUI arrest nearly on every shift. Not only because of the danger that they place themselves in, but the danger that they place the other people on the road. And one of the most unfortunate types of car stops is when you stop and encounter the driver and the driver is driving with their children inside of the vehicle. This is one of those. >> If you can, notify dispatch. >> Pulling over at East Bain Chalmo >> Still going. Random stops. Still going. On the Going on. They're stopping. >> That took a long time for this person to stop. And a lot of times when you're going after a person, it could be that they're trying to flee. The other thing is that they're unaware. Sometimes I've had people their music was up really, really loud. They just weren't paying attention. And other people who are intoxicated and you can follow them for a really long time and they don't know that you're behind them. I'm getting some signs of intoxication from this person. You see the wobbling, the unsteady gait, the droopy eyes. A lot of those things when she stepped out of the vehicle were very, very apparent. >> Which driver license is that for? >> It's my mom's. >> Oh, that's that's really nasty. This is all down your back when they just sign it. >> Absolutely. >> Yeah, I was coming up behind you when you were like she's oncoming traffic. I seen the car swerving on that side. >> went off the right-hand side of the road into the grass, both right tires in the grass. She jerked it back to the left, made another car swerve out of the way. I passed that truck and I was trying to get around our complainant, which is fine. He was trying to >> No, I get it. Well, I seen the cars on the >> Well, I pulled up. We maintained for 200 yd. We turned down here, not stopping. I turned the siren back on and she made a stop here. >> Yeah, I seen the cars coming the ones that were coming eastbound swerved out of the way. Hey, you grab a statement from him? >> Oh, you have a video? >> Yeah, I got pictures of her nodding off behind me. She almost She almost rear-ended me at the light and coming off the beach. She was way off on the right side and she skidded to a stop. >> Sorry, can I hold your phone? I'm having a hard time with the sun here. >> And then she was uh I don't know. I I don't know what >> No, it's all right. >> So real quick, this section up top is going to be your information. If you got a description of her, you can provide it here. >> Shout-out to the witness who called it in. I've done it before. I've called it in. Seen people who I believe to be DUI, they were driving, called it in. But this is important point if you observe a person who's driving and you think that they may be intoxicated. That's definitely a 911 call, but there's some things that you have to take into consideration. If you choose to follow that person, do not violate any traffic laws yourself in order to keep up with them or chase them. Don't violate any traffic laws. You have to drive in a safe manner yourself. The officers can pick up on the person from the last time you saw them and if you have a passenger in the vehicle, ask them to record so they can record and you can focus on driving. I know for sure that people calling in suspected drunk drivers has [music] saved lives. Just don't place yourself into peril. >> I don't think she's going to do that anyways. Um he's got a picture of her nodding off to sleep behind him. >> I When when he When he said uh she swerved on coming traffic, I was coming to him and I watched the cars on the other side like getting off the road. >> I knew I knew I caught it, but I know you like DUIs. If you would like to do a DUI, I'll be more than happy to assist you. No, I was grabbing these few. So, I I knew you didn't know. Yeah, if you don't want to do it, that's fine. I'll do it. I'll call it. Huh? Um some people aren't them. All right, man. What's your name? >> Lauren. >> Lauren? I suspect you of driving under the influence. Would you be willing to perform a standardized field sobriety test for me? >> Absolutely. >> Okay. Good. Hey, come stand right here. With your back to the car. There. I'm going to read them off these fancy cards. The way everybody understands them really good. >> Okay. >> All right. First one we're going to do is horizontal start. Third little part here. Horizontal gaze nystagmus. I'm going to check your eyes. Do you wear glasses or contacts? >> Uh yes. >> Okay, which one? >> Uh contacts. >> Well, how's your vision without them? >> Very >> Very poor without them. Are you wearing them right now? >> Yes. They're like negative. >> Like can't see my hand if you're not wearing them? >> Oh, absolutely yes. >> You could see or can't see? >> No, I can't. >> You couldn't see. But, you're wearing them now. >> Yes. >> So, you can't see my hand. >> I can't see it. >> Okay, you can't see my hand. Which way is your head? >> Okay, so this is good because if he's does HGN from this position, I mean the lighting's not great, but you'll be able to see and I've explained HGN before. Horizontal gaze nystagmus, involuntary jerking of the eye, six-point test, 45°, max deviation, smooth pursuit two eyes, tip stimulus, don't move the head. That's essentially HGN in a nutshell. But, here's the thing. A lot of people when they're drinking end up moving their head and it's kind of hard to follow all of that. But, we might be able to see it here. Some people just have natural nystagmus and many times I've explained this and people chime in in the comment section saying I just have a natural nystagmus. So, that's really interesting to know as well. >> there's some confusion in the talk there. All right. So, you're going to stand here with your feet just like this and your hands down by your your Yep, just like that. All right, I'm going to check your eyes. I'm going to use this little handcuff key. Can you see this right here? The top of that? Can you touch it with your right index finger? >> Yeah. I'll touch it. >> Yep. You can see it with no problem with that? >> Yeah, right there. >> Follow with your eyes and your eyes only, you understand? >> Yeah. >> That's one. Oh. All right, sorry. Little distraction going on. >> Okay, yep. >> All right, you see it? >> Yep. >> All right, follow with your eyes and your eyes only. All right, you want to do another one for me? >> Do what? >> You want to do another one? >> Okay. >> Yes. All right, we got to find us a straight line right here on the ground. Anybody see a good line? >> That's a straight line right there. >> All right, we're going to do another one while we're waiting on them to find some tape. Can you step forward one one step? There we go. All right, this next one's called the one leg stand. You're going to stand with your heels together and your arms at your side just like this. The same way we were standing on that last one. Don't begin doing anything until I tell you to, okay? All right. You understand that so far? >> So far, yep. >> So far. When I tell you to, I want you to raise one leg, either leg, approximately 6 inches off the ground. Foot pointed out. Keep both >> Then foot pointed out? >> Hm? When I tell you to, I want you to raise one leg, either leg, approximately 6 inches off the ground. Foot pointed out. >> Foot pointed out, okay. >> Keep legs straight and keep your eyes on your elevated foot. While holding that position, you're going to count out loud. 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004. Until I tell you to stop. It's going to look like this. Either leg, I'm going to use my left leg for the demonstration. 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005. Don't stop don't stop until I tell you to. Put your feet Put your feet back here. >> I do have some bad knees. >> You have bad knees? >> Can't run. >> You can't run? >> Uh not walking normally, but like bad. I don't I don't know. It's not like bad knees. Like I cannot run, walk. >> What do you do for work? Do you work? >> I do work. >> What do you do for work? >> I am the um club manager on a little field. >> You're a club manager? Like the gym? >> Mhm. No. >> No? >> Um like the Not club manager. Um like the sound side. >> So this is really interesting. Most people, the layman, not a trained officer, the layman would see this person and likely say that they think that she's drinking alcohol or under the influence of alcohol, but would have a difficult time articulating the terms necessary to do a probable cause case on it. So that's why it's important for young aspiring officers to watch these videos and document what are the observations that you see and learn the terminology that police use under the circumstances. And it could be a fun exercise amongst yourselves, even for people who are not interested in law enforcement, who watch this together. And I know it's amazing to me. So many messages I get, it's almost all couples that watch together, and I absolutely love that. The other thing I like to mention is this person very likely thinks that she looks sober. Most people who are of some degree of intoxication believe that they don't look like that and I don't want to call it a phenomenon, but it's just very interesting. >> What do you do for work? What does the club manager do? >> I'm not the I'm not the club manager. I'm like the sound side event manager. >> So, you plan events? And host events and stuff? >> Yes, on the sound side. >> On the sound side? >> Not like the >> You do a lot of walking when you're playing all these events and stuff? >> Yes. >> All right, go back to the starting position when I tell you. All right, I'm going to demonstrate. Don't start again. Don't start until I tell you anything. Either leg, I'm going to use my left leg for the purpose of this demonstration. You're going to keep point foot it out and you're going to look at it while you're doing it. You're going to count in a matter of 1,001, 1,002, 1,003. Again, do not start until I tell you to start. Here we go. 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, so on and so forth. So, you still still I tell you to start. All right, you understand those? >> Yes. >> All right. Hold on, I'll tell you when. All right, you may begin. >> First, I just want to mention before she does this is phenomenal tap on this officer. She looks very, very tactical. Good stuff. Now, one of the things that's interesting I just like to share with you about the field sobriety test, standardized field sobriety test, whichever you call them, is that one of the most common mistakes that people make when they're doing them is that they start before they're told to start and that's a standard part of the instruction. It's very interesting. That's one of the most common things that people miss. >> All right, you can stop. >> Did you understand the instructions? >> Yes. >> Okay. You want to do it again? >> I I would do it again. >> Well, I'm asking you if you want to do it again. >> I would do it again. >> Okay. Do you want to do it again? >> Yes. >> Okay. I'll read I'm going to go through the whole deal again. So, get to it. You're going to stand with your heels together, your arms down by your side. You understand that portion? >> Yes. >> All right. Don't begin doing anything until I tell you to. >> Yes. >> You understand that portion? >> Yes. >> When I tell you to, I want you to raise one leg, either leg, off the ground 6 in with your foot pointed out. You're going to look at it. You're going to count in a manner of 1,001, 1,002, point your foot. 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005, and so on and so forth until I tell you to stop. You understand that? >> Yes. >> It's going to look like this, and I'm going to demonstrate it for you. 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005. So, I tell you to stop. That's right. All right. You understand all of it? >> Yeah, I'm going to I'm going to count until you tell me to stop. >> All right. >> Okay. >> Hold on. Tell me when to start. You can begin. >> Now? >> Yep. >> 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005, >> Look at your toe while you're counting. >> What? >> Look at your toe like you're counting as the instructions were provided. >> 1,005, excuse 1,005, 1,006, 1,007, 1,008, 1,009, 1,0010, 1,0011, 1,0012, 1,0013, 1,0014, >> All right, you can stop. Look at that. Asked for a line of one appears. All right. Come on over here if you want to do another one. All right, you stand right here and I'm going to stand in front of you and explain it. Face this way. That was in Spanish. I don't speak Spanish. >> I don't speak Spanish either. >> Good. Makes two of us. All right. You want to put your left foot on line just like this. You're going to put your right foot in front of it just like this. Put your left foot on the foot Put your left foot all the way on the line. >> Okay, take a snapshot of this scene right here where her vehicle is and where she is and I'm going to talk about something after they complete this. >> Put your left foot all the way on the line. There you go, just like that. Put your right foot in front of your heel toe. All right. Put your arms down by your side. Just like that. You're doing great. Don't start until I tell you to. Do you understand? All right. When I tell you to begin, you're going to take nine heel to toe steps on the line, turn around keeping one foot on the line and return nine heel to toe steps back. It's going to look like this. Right? It's going to look just like this. Your left foot's on the line, your right foot heel toe in front. And you're going to look at them and you're going to count and you're going to go 1 2 3 So on and so forth until you hit nine. Put your feet back on the line. Stay in the starting position like we talked about. And then when you get to nine or wherever you decide you're going to stop, you're going to take a series of small steps while keeping your lead foot on the line. It's going to look like this. And then you're going to take nine heel to toe steps back. >> Like that? >> 1 2 3 So on and so forth until you hit nine. Or wherever you decide to stop. Do you understand that? >> Yeah. >> All right. While walking, watch your feet at all times. Keep your arms out your side. Count your steps out loud. Once you begin, do not stop until the test is complete. Do you understand those instructions? >> Nine steps up. >> You want me to read you the instructions again? >> Turn around. >> Do you understand the instructions? >> I think so. >> You think so. All right. You may begin. Okay. You may begin. >> I'm going to run out of line. Just keep going. >> Imagine the line straight. >> Yep. of you. it keeps going and going. Well, y'all think I can keep this going? Yeah, I'm with you. >> Yes. >> No, you're under arrest for DUI. Put your hands behind your back. >> The line didn't keep going. >> Yeah, now I understand that. >> The line didn't keep going. >> In custody. Okay, couple things I'd like to talk about. So, the female officer walking behind the female and I don't know if she was walking behind her in case she was to fall and I think that that's may have been why she did that. And if that is the case, then that would be something that I would document in the report that the female was unsteady so much that officer so-and-so elected to walk behind to ensure that she would not hit the ground if she fell. I mean, I don't know, but I'm just saying when I see these kinds of things, I wonder why different things occur. So, if you're an officer that does this or it's a practice you have, please chime in. I'd like to learn. So, the other thing you think about is that where you see her vehicle and where she's doing this walk and turn test and then taken into custody, her car is right there. So, that means the kids could have potentially seen that and how traumatic of an experience is it for the kids to have to see not only their parent doing field sobriety test, but then taken into custody. Kids having to go through that something that all officers that I know have a place in their heart that they just really don't like dealing with that. [music] So, I'm very unfortunate. >> Turn around and look at me. >> 10-4 1850. >> You're under arrest for DUI. >> Okay. >> I'm going to read you your Miranda rights. >> Right. But I also didn't walk the the line. >> Yeah, we're >> It's more than just that. >> Yeah, we're a little point past that. So, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and to have him or her present with you while you're being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish. You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. Do you understand each of these rights as I've read them to you? >> Mhm. >> Okay. Having these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to me about what's going on here today? >> Not even a little. >> Huh? >> No. >> Would you like to talk to somebody else? No, you don't want to talk to anybody? Okay. All right. Let's come back over here to one of these cars. We'll talk about uh >> Is your husband home? >> Well, I'm going to talk to her in the car about it. All right, put your chest right there on the stars and stripes. There we go. Do you have pockets? Probably not. Do you have something on underneath this? >> I don't have anything on underneath this. >> Okay. >> It's not >> I know. I just got to make sure you don't have pockets or any guns or bombs or anything that's going to explode on me, kill one of us or hurt one of us. Go ahead and take a seat in there. Watch your head when you sit down. >> Okay. >> Talk to you as soon as you sit down about that. All right. You're married, right? >> Divorcing. >> Divorcing, okay. So, you guys are going through the process? >> Yeah, partially. Yes. >> Is he at home to come and get them? >> No. >> Okay. Do you have a parent or a relative that can come and get them? >> I have a friend. >> Friend, where does your friend live? >> Uh the behind apartments. >> Behind this one, down here? >> Yes. >> Okay. Do you know where you are right now? >> Yes. >> But they don't have any blood relatives that can come and get them? >> Okay, so a lot of this is redacted, and I think that a lot of times when they mention personal information, they redact it when they're requested from the FOIA. Some interesting things about this, it sounds like her children are in the back seat of the car, which makes this incredibly challenging. And I've dealt with this so many times. It's one of the most difficult things that you have to do is arrest a parent in front of their children, especially when they're small children. And then you have to find a responsible party to take the kids. And if you can't find a responsible party, then the kids end up having to go into some kind of government, state, county facility, [music] which is one of the worst parts of being an officer is having to put a child through something like that when their parent ends up getting arrested. It would be one of the worst parts of my shift. >> I have a friend. >> Do you know his phone number? >> Yeah, I know his phone number, but I can guarantee you he is >> We have to still make the attempt to call him. Correct. What's his phone What's his phone number, ma'am? >> Yes. >> All right, we're going to call him and see if he can uh send somebody Hang out for me back here. All right, now look over this real quick. Okay. You want to walk right here to this car, boss man? How are you good, sir? You raise your right hand for me and state your name. >> Steven Evans. >> Do you swear or affirm the information you provided in this statement is true and correct to the best of your knowledge? >> Yes, sir. >> All right, sir. You sign on the line where it says the fine, please. >> You can do this. >> Yes, sir. I'll take care of that. >> Can you sign this on the back? >> Uh do you write on the back? Yes, sir. >> I'm going to turn this over to >> Okay. So, the only one we're worried about right here is this one is just a false information affidavit. This again it reiterates that the information you provided in this statement is true and correct to the best of your knowledge. Do you agree with that? You can initial there and sign there for me. All right, sir. Do you have any questions for me tonight? >> No. >> All right. So, she's going to be going to jail for the DUI. Thanks, sir. >> I want to talk about that whole raising the hand and swearing the information they're giving is right. There was only a couple of times that I've seen that. I did it with one other video and I asked the same question cuz I've never done that in my career where we had people swear to do voluntary statements. If someone can specifically explain to me why they have them raise their hand in the field like that and an officer does it, I'd be interested in knowing. Something I like to talk about with voluntary statements. Very important to put the facts of as you see them, the facts. Don't think about what possibly happened, put the facts as you saw them. The other thing that I really want to share whenever I talk about voluntary statements is that your personal information is at the top and every department is different the information that they ask you for. And one question that I would ask if I had to fill out a voluntary statement to the officer, "What information do you absolutely [music] have to have?" Cuz sometimes they ask for address, sometimes they ask for other identifying information cuz they have to get a hold of you. But that's discovery. [music] And so the other side gets that as well and I don't know the redaction process for every department, but I'm very careful with my personal information as you probably would know. And so be careful and ask if you're going to do a voluntary statement, "What do [music] I absolutely have to put on this in order to get a hold of me?" >> If you don't have any other further questions for us, then you can go. >> I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. >> Got it. I've got a claim I'm working over in Gulf Breeze. >> Okay. >> It's still Santa Rosa County. >> Yes, sir. >> Lady got a Airbnb. Mhm. She was there for like an hour and she died. Yeah, she had she was AFib. And she her daughter was they they drove in from New Orleans. The daughter was there, 11-year-old daughter, found her dead on the floor instead. I sent an email to y'all's records department. >> Yes, sir. >> To try to get uh whatever records y'all have. Do y'all provide the chemical footage? >> Um it will be released as long as it's available to be released such as if it's an active investigation or something that can't release it yet, but if it's not then they can release it. So if you go to our website, Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office, .org I believe it is. There's like 1 2 3 4 probably five sections across the top. One of them should say public records request. You can click on that. You can go in there if you know the date, the case number, put that in there, submit it. I think it's like $2 $3 you get the report, and then also there should be an option in there to like include the body camera footage. And they should release all that to you. >> Yeah, I I I called I called the Y'all's records department stuff and so >> Yes, sir. >> Y'all have stuff rolling and stuff. Do you know if the first responders wear any of that stuff? >> Uh the fire and the EMS, no, sir, they do not. We are the only ones. Law enforcement. All right, sir. Thank you very much. >> Thank you. Take care. >> Thanks, sir. Hey, you want anything out of the car from yours, your cell phone, your purse, anything like that? >> What do you mean? >> Do you want to take your cell phone or your purse or anything like that to jail? Huh? To jail. You want to jail for DUI. >> What? >> What? You're under arrest for driving under the influence. I just I'm I'm working on Do you want anything out of the car to go to jail with you? All right. It's not going to work, Jay. Well, that's not how that works. So, you want your cell phone? You can take your cell phone. >> I need what? >> Okay. We got somebody down at the house on TV trying to get a hold so they can come and get him. Unfortunately, if he can't come or somebody and we don't get a hold of him, they're going to be rolling Christian to DCF until the time. All right. Do you want your cell phone out of the car? >> I I need to backtrack. >> All right. Do you want your cell phone out of the car? All right. Now, we fast forward. Do you want your cell phone out of the car? I'm going to grab your cell phone out of the car for you. >> Thank you. >> She hit something. What's up? How are you guys? Do you know phone is? >> Yeah. >> Where's it at? >> All right. I'm going >> And she doesn't have pockets. She's wearing a bathing suit. >> One thing under the circumstances when you have the kids in the car like that, if you have officers who are at the scene and they don't have a specific task, potentially send them to McDonald's or somewhere, you know, to grab something for the kids. A lot of officers do that and they may have done it here. I just don't know because I remember these videos are edited. The young man is really a good opportunity for when a kid is going through something like this to do something to kind of take their mind off of it and let them know that you care about their well-being and that everything is going to be better. A simple trip down the street to school even though I'm not saying fast food is great, but it might be something that makes them happy to get them a happy meal or something like that. It's not a plug for McDonald's, it's a plug for doing something kind for the kids. >> Jose Cuervo. >> That is stout. >> Yeah, so open container. Um you can check to make sure that >> I'm still looking for a cell phone. Which we haven't came across yet. >> Can I help you? Easy to >> The children said it was in her pocket, but she's wearing a bathing suit, so I don't think that's going to be right. This is like a gym bag. I almost wonder if she like possibly left it at the beach tonight. So there was something there on the floor over there? >> I know on the phone or on the display that said no device detected or something. >> Audio device is not detected. I got you. That probably means it's not in here if I had to guess. >> Yeah, I don't think that she has a phone. >> What did you guys do today? Have a good day? Well, that's awesome. You enjoy the beach? We haven't found a cell phone yet. I mean, I'm looking for a cell phone, but it's her I don't think it's in the car. I'm working on this side, I guess. I'm going to go over there and look too. >> Make sure you document on that and you document all this in the >> Ice cold. Even got sand on it. Woo! Sam, we can >> Yeah. >> That dude is style I don't know I I think that was a self-made one cuz they don't taste like that coming out of the jar. No, I messed up. Nope. Oh, thank you. In the beach bag? You know, now that we're talking about beach, you know what I'm thinking about? Beach bum Billy. Oh, there's your margarita, son. Got to do the sniff test. Give her a sniffer, boy. Answer the FaceTime. Cuz it was FaceTime audio. Dude, those are made homemade. Yeah, he was calling on a FaceTime audio. That's a lot. Uh that is a I'd say that's a gallon one, isn't it? Pretty close. A what? >> 2 quarts. >> Now you just measure it in fingers. Oh, you do measure it in fingers. Yeah. 72 right there? Or the top was this top? Can't hardly read. Not when you're shining a light like that. 80? 80, that's an 80 right there. >> 80 oz. >> So it was an 80 and it was probably down here, so >> It was Yeah, it was >> Give or take 24 oz, 16 oz, somewhere right there. >> Okay. Thanks, sir. If you're able to find somebody that's another licensed driver, that way we can avoid a DUI. All right. Oh, he mad, too. >> Why? Why? What are you laughing about? >> What? No. Can I put this car keys in front seat? >> Okay. >> And you can hear the officers interacting with kids, which is really, really good cuz I mean this is a really traumatic experience. I can't not emphasize enough how important it is to assist those kids to deal with this the best way that you possibly can. >> The way to get the kids and make sure one of them gets hooked up with their kids' names and and and all you got to worry about is getting your arrest report done when you get back down to the that. >> All righty. >> Call me when you get done with her and that >> At the BTO? >> You done with that? >> Yeah, can I just I can't come back down and do my arrest report down here? >> Copy. >> All right. >> Sorry. >> So, you hear I mentioned on and off miles many times if miles transporting a female, very often many departments have a policy where the officer will have to give the last three digits and the decimal of their mileage. It could vary as a number so that you know that the officer went to started from the location and went to location and that mileage matches even though I know that there's GPS, but that's just a policy many departments have. What's also interesting is I kind of looked at this stop and it looks like the stop started at 6:35. She was in custody at 6:50 and then in route to jail at 7:10. So, it's fairly efficient and there were a lot of officers on the scene under the circumstances the vehicle didn't stop initially. So, you can just kind of get a timeline. At 6:35 [music] it started, 6:50 in custody, that means FSTs occurred in that period of time, field sobriety test, and then in route to jail at 7:10. >> What's your name? >> Lauren Ford. >> I'm now requesting that you submit to a lawful test of your breath for the purpose of determining its alcohol content. Will you take the test? It's going to make some noise and run through its It's testing itself right now. >> Making noises. >> It's It's running tests on itself right now. All right. So, what I'm going to ask you to do is with that end there, you can go ahead and grab that. Just go ahead and wrap your lips around it, make a seal, and blow into it. And it's going to It's going to make a tone, and you want to keep that tone going, okay? >> Tone? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Like a sound? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Blow harder. There you go. Keep going. Keep going. You're doing great. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Blow Blow harder. >> Blow harder? >> Yes, ma'am. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Push all that out from the bottom. Keep going. Okay. Perfect. >> Harder more? >> Nope, you did great. So, it's going to run some more tests, and then it's going to ask us to do that again, okay? So, we're going to do it one more time. Take that again. And same way. Just going to make that tone sound, and as long as you can, okay? You're doing perfect. That's awesome. Blow as much as you can. That's perfect. >> This is still beeping at me. >> Yep, it's going to do some more tests, but this This part is done. >> It's so loud, though. >> Okay, so I'll talk about some things with this breath machine. First off, this is a field breath machine, which is called a PBT, portable breath test. That is good for PC, but in court, you need an evidentiary test, a machine like this. In most jurisdictions, you have two options, blood or breath. And some people just refuse, and there are ramifications for that, and I've explained that's called implied consent when you get a license, and you'll lose your privileges if you refuse. So, you have blood or breath. The person who takes the breath test has to observe you the entire time to make sure you don't put things in your mouth, take things out of your mouth, and you give two samples. And there's a period of time between the first and the second sample, and it has to be done in that time frame. It's really good that these machines have become more advanced. Before, the person would have to blow for such a long period of time, it would be really difficult for them to get an accurate sample. But the machines and the technology has advanced. So, what the difference is if you give blood [music] or breath is breath, you're going to get the results while you're there. Blood, the results have to come back later. But I want to talk specifically about this lady and her circumstance. Especially an officer who had similar arrests in the past with [music] people in their circumstances. In some jurisdictions, you can additionally be charged with child endangerment, and I don't see that that was a charge that was placed here. I think it was the DUI arrest. And my hope is that this person [music] gets the help they need to turn their life around, because I don't make judgments upon a person by what is potentially the worst thing that they did on a body cam. And I contemplate sometimes what they do, and I've said this before. That said, I'd like to mention that the one-year anniversary for the Sergeant Curtis Channel is coming, and we're doing something really, really special. If you're an officer on a department of 100 officers or less, we're going to open up a contest where you're going to be able to submit [music] to win all-expense-paid trip to the International Association Chiefs of Police Conference [music] in November. It's in Orlando, Florida. I will be in attendance, taking some classes while I'm there, and you'll be able to take classes while you're there. I will coin you at that event. And in addition to that, you will receive brand new body armor and a brand new body cam. I want to do that because I want to give back, and a lot of people don't realize that people from the smaller departments don't have an opportunity to do a lot of the training. This channel is about professionalism and education, and it's an opportunity to give back to the wonderful people who serve in the capacity of being an officer. So, the details for that are coming soon, so make sure you subscribe. Click the notification bell as well, so you'll know, because that's how we're going to push this out.

We've created a scholarship to pay for some tuition and books and other things school related and also that information is going to be posted [music] up here very very soon.
