Do you have your license or registration on you? >> I actually don't have it in this car, but [music] what if I show you these? >> Man, it's [music] 2024. I can see tip in it anytime. >> Well, what if you touch them? >> That's true. >> We've all heard of pretty privilege and people trying to flirt with a cop to avoid trouble. But what happens when it actually works shockingly well, leading to dates, home visits, and unbelievable scandals within the police department. >> What you say, daddy? >> Okay. >> Now, before nerds for anybody, >> I am a nerd. >> I am a nerd. >> These were the moments when suspects flirted [music] with cops and it actually worked. We begin with an officer who broke the ultimate rule. Instead of taking a suspect to jail, he joined her in the back of his patrol [music] car, leading to an hour of missing footage and a destroyed career. >> Don't say that right now because um everything's being recorded right now. >> All right, sir. Step out of the vehicle for me. I believe I just >> If she If she said if she said something and you said, "Hey, don't say that right now cuz it's recording." >> You remember that? >> I I She's I remember her saying something like, "Hey." On August 14th, officers in San Diego responded to a 7-Eleven for a stolen vehicle, leading to the arrest of two suspects. For officer Anthony Hair, this should have been a standard transport to jail. But the female suspect in the back of his cruiser had other plans, setting the stage for a shocking series of choices that would unravel his life and career in a single night. >> Thank you. >> Hey, why are you guys tripping over? Hey, just listen to him. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> There you go. Stay like that. >> Why you guys tripping like that? >> Listen to him. >> I can't hand behind your back. >> My name is Israel, boy. >> A little kid. What the [ __ ] >> I'll explain everything to you, man. >> I know you going to explain everything. Just >> relax. All right. Cool. >> Roll to your side. >> Bend your knees. >> Take this one right here. >> Sounds good. >> No weapons or anything like that. >> Yeah. Down and everything. >> All right. All right. Go ahead and stand up for me. >> Yeah, maybe it's easy. >> Roll over first. Yeah, roll over. >> You get the other one. >> Yeah. Hold on one second. All right. >> Okay. We're just going to go to my car right here. Okay. With the suspect detained, Officer Hair confirms her warrant, but a seemingly innocent question about her belongings sparks a personal conversation. This simple exchange would [music] be the first step in a dangerous dance, leading to a compromise that would end his career. >> Hi, it's Officer Hair with San Diego Police Department. I'm just calling just to confirm a warning. >> Officer Hair Hir. >> All right. Uh, let me hold on one second. Let me get that for you. Sorry, my computer. >> All right. >> Okay. Yeah, it's confirmed. She's going to send over the um note the warrant to watch. From there, there's a little statue. Um, that's it, right? That's all I'm looking for. >> Yep. Okay. And then, um, in your actual report, >> do I need I need to ask for, you know, I mean, to do a search. >> Um, >> uh, I don't have anything. You have anything? >> I have nothing, bro. I have nothing. >> So, when they do their scanner and everything? >> All right. No. >> Before you go, ma'am, before we go, is there anything in the car that you want? >> Yes. >> My purse or something? >> My >> or um my makeup? It's just my makeup. What color? >> I need that for when I got a joke. >> What color is that? >> Um it's in a backpack. >> Oh, okay. Back. >> Yes. >> But um I don't want everything in the I just want it. >> Okay. What else in there is yours? You have a phone or anything? >> But that was in my car. So have to switch. >> That's fine. >> Um I did a pad down. But >> uh when we drive over here or no, just straight to >> No, I don't think HQ. We got to do that. >> What's that? >> Yeah, I already The warrants already been sent over. >> You might find a female officer over there. Search. I did that one time. As the male suspect offered his flimsy story about being in the stolen car for a blanket, the scene was already set for a far more serious breach of protocol just a few feet away. >> So, you are going to jail tonight for uh stolen vehicle. >> For what? >> Okay. >> How How did I go and steal a car? >> Okay. So, uh you guys saw me driving out of the parking lot at 7-Eleven. Okay. I'm driving by. I run the plate. It comes back. I stole it. >> I didn't I didn't drive no car. >> I see you guys walk inside. I wait till you guys come out and you don't even attempt to come back to the car. Okay, you attempt to walk away. I'm not I'm almost there. >> No, sorry. >> Okay. She asked me to get her makeup bag out of the car. I go and get her bag. I have to search it cuz she wants to get So, I search it inside. I find a prescription with your name on it. >> Yes. I That's her stuff. Listen, >> it's embarrassing. >> I told you my medicine that I have medicine. >> You said it was at your boy's house. >> Okay. But look, it's embarrassing to tell you that we wanted to get whatever was in that car. Bro, we went in that car. Yes, it was cold. She wanted a blanket, dog. We had our stuff. We We weren't planning on you guys stopping us or or seeing what we're going to get from that car. >> Okay, I'm going to move you over to my car and then we can talk more about this. All right, go ahead and stand up for me. >> Like, come on. It's embarrassing to say that, bro. Like, come on. You didn't see me driving the car? Officer Hair made his first critical mistake by placing the female suspect in his cruiser alone. This simple act of isolation was the first step down a path that would lead to the complete unraveling of his career. >> You're going to come with me to my car. So, let's go. >> He said you heard him. He said >> about asking me. >> Yeah. >> This way the street. He said he was going to ask me. What's the only mean one? >> I'm not mean, >> bro. No, you're the only once we get into the car. Okay. >> I got your >> Sorry for calling that. But >> I got your not your duffel bag. What? The drawstring bag. I got all of that. >> Your makeup. >> Not really. >> But it like that. I just go step inside. Go. I'm going to unplug the screen a second. >> Perfect. Just a little bit more. I don't want to pinch your skin again. All right. I'm going to ask you a couple questions. >> All right. >> Here. Just Just listen up. You have the right to remain silent. If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you do say can, and will be used in court against you. You have the right to speak with an attorney of your choice before questioning and to have the attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you by the court prior to any questioning if you so desire. The attorney will not cost you anything. The services are free. Do you understand each of these rights that I have explained to you? >> Um yes. >> Yes. Having in mind understanding your rights as I have told you, are you willing to talk to me? Um, I mean, what if I were just >> Yes or no? Either you want to talk to me or you >> I don't I mean I have nothing to talk to you about, but yes, I'm I mean I'm I'm complying. Yeah. >> Thank you. >> The ride began with simple, harmless conversation. Officer Hair transported the suspect to headquarters without any sign of the misconduct that would soon follow. >> What do you mean? I'm cool to you. >> Not bad. What is it going to hurt you if I were to say I don't know >> if I were south on several times. Do >> you have anything? You're right. Not so much. Not so much. better shoes. You want to do that there? >> I can do the scooch later. >> Okay. >> Yeah, I'll do. But as they left headquarters for the final leg of the trip, the tone shifted completely. Officer Hair began asking the suspect about her dating life, crossing a clear and unprofessional line. Well, you're not That's very >> Oh, no. So, so everything has to be >> Yeah. Yeah. >> It's not lost or anything. You just have to go pick it up after. I run away. >> I already told you. >> Oh, I'm not there. >> Wait, hold on. >> I'll tell you after. Hold on a little bit. >> I can't hear you now. >> That unprofessional line was crossed completely when the suspect made a brazen proposition. Instead of refusing, Officer Hair's only reaction was to warn her the camera was recording. A clear signal of his intent [music] moments before he reached over and plunged the scene into darkness. >> Don't say that right now. I said don't say that right now cuz it says um everything's being recorded right now. Are you doing good back there? >> Are you doing good back there? >> You can call the address you just arrived. >> What's going on? Heat. Heat. Responding to a call for help, a supervisor arrived to rescue officer hair from a locked patrol car. But the officer wasn't in danger. He was the source of it, having willingly trapped himself with the female suspect. His claim that his body camera fell off was proven false, as it was later found securely mounted and fully functional by the internal affairs. All right, sir. Step out of the vehicle for me. >> Everything just went wrong. >> Okay, hold on. Hold on. Let me turn my camera off. >> She's code four. >> She's code four. >> Okay. Okay. Yeah. Let me turn this off real quick. Okay. Forced to explain himself, Officer Hair gave a theatrical performance for his superiors. Acting out a ridiculous story of accidentally locking himself in the back seat. But his desperate attempt to explain an hour of missing footage was a flimsy lie that no one was buying. >> Hey. >> Yeah. Go ahead. >> Okay. Um, so this open the door and then as I came in like that I, you know, I was trying to wake her up. My feet wasn't this. My feet didn't get cut like that. And then when I was like waking her up, that's when I noticed that this door closed on me and that's when I was like frankly trying to open the door, but I know there's no there's no door opener. And then and then Yeah. And then from then she was a um she was able to so I was like I was like this majority of the time. I was trying to you know get her up cuz her face was right here. >> Okay. >> Right here. And then I was trying to like wake her up to get her up. And then next thing you know I hear the door close on me. I was frantic. I was looking and then she then that's when she started to kind of like I guess wake up or get dazed off or whatever. And then that's when I asked her like hey are you having a hard time breathing? She said no. Do you need medics? No. I was like, "Okay, all right. Just just stay right there." And then that's when I was trying to open the door. >> Okay. >> And then that's when I went on D2. >> All right. You can jump up. Let's jump up. >> In the recording of his interview, you could hear the moment his story fell apart. He stumbled and contradicted himself when asked about the suspect's sexual comments, which suggested he had been aware of the [music] misconduct and was trying to protect his career. >> Explain to me, Tony, how is it that you got >> all the way into the car with her laying down? >> It get her up. It was a I was trying to um get her cuz she she was a heavy girl. >> Okay. >> So, I was trying to like lift her up to sit her down. >> Okay. >> And then but yes, it was a it was a tight squeeze in there. So, then I think that's how somehow maybe my leg >> because that means that your your your torso, your butt, your legs, and [music] your feet are completely inside the car. >> Yeah. I was kind of like I can I wish I could show you if you were in the patrol car, but yeah, I was I was in there. We'll have that. We'll do that in a little bit, >> you know. So you you got into the back of patrol car and then somehow through hitting the door, meaning when you kind of push it to open it, it kind of rebounds and close back on you. >> Correct. >> Is that what you're saying? You think >> I have [music] problems with your story, Tony? And I want to make sure if there was something that you forced your if she consented and said, "Hey, there's going to be [music] I'll do this or you do that." You know, we can have a good time. there's a consent or [music] something. You forced yourself on her. >> She did not say anything like, "Hey, I do this for you. Let me go." She did not. And even if she did say something like that, I would I would I believe I just >> If she If she said if she said something and you [music] said, "Hey, don't say that right now cuz it's recording." >> Do you remember that? >> I I She's I remember her saying something like, "Hey, I'm on right now." Because what? >> I'm on what? I'm on what? What? What do you mean? >> Oh, like my my camera. I think I I mentioned cuz I don't know. There was one thing [music] where she said um I don't know if it was like I don't know if it was talking with the family issue or whatever or if she's asking if I was single, but that was the only thing was like, "Yeah, I'm just letting you know I'm recording [music] right now." >> Mhm. >> That's it. But >> Okay. So, if she were to say something in a sexual um comment and you were to say something like, "Hey, don't say that right now. It's recording." Or it's, you know, whatever. You don't remember that you're saying cuz I just talked to you about all that and you said no, >> but I could tell you for a fact. >> No, I mean I I remember saying something like that that I'm on now that you mentioned it cuz I didn't say what did she say? >> That that I don't remember. I would have I would have to look at my my BWC again to to see what exactly she said. That I promise I don't remember what she said. >> Officers also questioned the female suspect and her statement shattered his entire story. She revealed he used a flimsy excuse to get in the back with her. And >> he was like, "Um, [clears throat] well, he say something like he said, >> so are you single or you with your boyfriend, your boyfriend or something like that?" I don't know. I took it like I don't know how to take it. >> So he asked you if you were single. >> Yeah. I don't remember how how to take it. Kind of like laughed a bit off. I was just like I don't know. I don't know. I was just confused. What the heck? How I should answer that? I don't remember what words he was saying. I don't remember what we're talking about. I swear I don't remember what was said and I don't. But I do remember like um him um like he I think he might have used excuse just to come in to the back cuz he says he his excuse to come to the back because I mean it would have to happen that way cuz I don't know why he's like said I he thought I wasn't breathing right or something cuz um I was laying down and he said he came to really bad. This is what he was telling the officer after. And um I think he might have used the excuse to get back there with me, but he didn't want to stay. I mean, obviously he knows he didn't want to say anything that would get him in trouble. And so, um he opens the back door. He gets out, opens the back door, and then like [music] he says that the door shut on him. And I don't like I don't know. I think it was just stupid. You said you believed he used that as an excuse to get into the back seat. What do you believe was the reason why he was getting in the back seat? >> I mean, it kind of is like only like it could only be like one other thing. Like why why else would anybody do that, you know? And um I don't know if um he was scared. I think he was scared like he knew he [ __ ] up. He was scared. And um I remember him um >> when he said he knew he [ __ ] up. >> He closed the door behind him on accident. >> Okay. >> Cuz and then I was like, "Oh my god." So I remember I was like, "What the fuck?" Like and he started panicking. He started he started panicking and he was like I don't know. He was being scared. He was like tripping out. And then um he called one of his friends or he called somebody. I don't know who or how, but he called another um officer and they came to open the door for him and then um that was and then I went to the um to the hospital afterwards because when I got to ask they said I um they sent me to the hospital and that was it. >> So did he make any sexual propositions at that tribe at all? Again, this is the one where you're going to >> Yeah, I know. No. Um, >> did you make any comments or special propositions to him during that transport? >> No. >> Was it? I don't know. I don't think so. I don't. I just not like to do that. So, >> okay. >> Um, do you remember engaging into conversations were in nature or some or some might think there was sexual in nature [music] >> during that drive? >> What's that? >> What does that mean? Like if uh if you and him had a conversation and comments were made that someone might listening might interpret like were they talking about sex or was it >> oh no >> you know anything that someone might think >> think about comments or sexual stuff like that. >> Okay. >> The internal investigation found officer hair guilty of gross misconduct lying about his sex conversation with the suspect and filing a false report. Facing certain termination, he was forced to resign from the San Diego Police Department. Next, we have the case of a police chief who decided a burglary suspect was worth risking his career. On June 3rd, 2009, Chief Timothy Escola was filmed kissing a burglary suspect, turning his personal vehicle into a scene of scandal. Heat up here. Heat. Heat. Once the video leaked, the outrage was unstoppable. It sparked a firestorm of public fury that made Chief Escola's position impossible to defend. Facing certain termination and total disgrace, he was left with no choice but to resign. His decadesl long career in law enforcement ended in a humiliating scandal. [music] Moving on to Officer Shaw Sherman, who thought filming a provocative skit was harmless. In April 2024, he starred in a viral video where a model flirted her way out of a traffic ticket, proving that some officers can be easily manipulated when tempted. >> I knew you were getting pulled over. Told you we were going too fast. Nobody listens to me. I'm not going to get a ticket. [music] >> How do you think that you're going to get a ticket? >> I'm going to show my I'm not going to You're not going to do that. >> Yeah, I am. >> No, you're not. >> Watch me. Just watch. >> Good evening, ma'am. I'm officer Jones MPD. You know what I pulled you over? >> Uh, no. >> All right. Well, I got you going 65 and I'm 45 back there. Okay. You have your license and registration on you? >> I actually don't have it in this car, but what if I show you these? Well, now it's 2024. [music] I can see tip in it at any time. >> Well, what if you touch them? >> Let's try. >> Yeah, that makes a little better. All right, I'll let you go with the warning just next time. Slow it down for me. All right, you have a good night. >> Thanks. >> What the >> The situation escalated when it was discovered while the skid officer Sherman was on duty. This shameful abuse of power cost him his badge and resulted in two felony misconduct charges showing that [music] such unprofessional behavior has severe. Moving on to a DUI stop where a woman's flirting crossed every line [music] from calling the officer daddy to making shocking offers. >> It seems like you are under the influence of something. Do you want to try this first exercise for me? >> I will do anything for you, Daddy. You're the one taking me home, right? >> Sure. >> You're taking me home. >> Mhm. I want you. >> Okay. I'm wearing glasses. [music] >> No, I'm I am wearing contacts. >> Wait, you see this? I am wearing contacts. >> On the 17th of November, 2024 in Sarasota, officer Nick Barerer, pulled over a visibly impaired driver, but the woman behind the wheel, Sophia, was about to take this DUI investigation in a direction he never expected. >> Just across the street. >> I have to be really bad. >> Okay. All right. Well, you're going to have to hang out. Unfortunately, there's no places to be right now. Where is across the street? >> Um, Golf Gate. Tipsy Turvy. >> Golf Gate. >> Tipsy Turvy. >> Tipsy Turby. Is that a bar? Uh, excuse me. Down in Golf Gate. >> Oh, >> sorry. We're drinking a fizzy drink. >> What were you drinking? >> Uh, Celsius. >> Fizzy drink. >> Yeah. >> And it's a Celsius. >> Yeah. You swear, >> Pinky. >> You swear, >> Pinky. Here, why don't we get out of the road? >> Sophia tried to play it cool, joking about red flags and pretending she'd only had an energy drink, but her giggly, flirty act was just the beginning, and she was about to take this encounter to a whole new level of inappropriate. >> You were drinking a fizzy drink. >> Oh, >> you all right? >> Yes. I just want to counter you. >> Counter me, >> boy. >> I think you're trying to counter you. You were drinking a fizzy drink. You were drinking a fizzy drink. >> Yeah. >> Are you going to try me? >> A fizzy drink as in a Celsius. Cuz I need energy. >> Energy? >> Yeah. >> Me, too, bro. >> Okay. >> I just got off work. >> Do you work at Hooters? >> Yes, I do. >> But then you went to Hooters and then >> I went to Hooters and then I went to Golf Gate. >> Do you work at the Hooters down in Golf Gate? >> I do. Okay. >> Call me. Red flag. >> You what? [music] >> Red flag. Call me. >> Okay. Well, what's your first name? >> Sophia. >> Sophia. >> My name is Nick. >> Nick as >> And I'm going to be honest. >> Nick as >> it seems like you are under the influence of something. >> Oh my god. Now, unfortunately, in situations like this, um, you know, we are going to investigate a DUI. Um, >> would you be willing to participate in the >> No, >> you don't want to participate. >> No. >> Sophia kept lying, saying she wasn't driving and that she needed to pee. She was trying every excuse to avoid taking the DUI test. The officer was about to see just how far she would go to dodge the test. >> I am literally drinking and I'm not going to drive. Not going to drive. >> But you were already driving. Problem. >> I was not. >> No, it wasn't. >> No, I was not. >> I mean, we stopped you in the middle of the road. >> No, you didn't. >> No, we did. >> No, you did not. >> Look at the cars. >> You No, you did not. >> Where do you think you are right now? >> I am in Golf Gate. >> No, >> you didn't. >> You're miles from Golf Gate. >> You did not stop me in front of Golf Gate. >> We did not. You were correct. That's what I'm saying. >> So, look, I want you to turn. >> Hey, it's not fair. You did not stop me in front of golf gate, >> Sophia. >> I am investigating a DUI. >> Sorry. >> And I would like if you would participate in a couple couple standard field sobriety exercises to determine if you're able to drive home. I am not going to drive home. >> Okay. Well, in that case, we could at least pull the car over. But if you would be willing to participate in those exercises. Do >> you want me to call TripleA? >> Like I have to pee. >> I know, but right now you're not going to be able to pee. I'm sorry. >> I have to pee. >> I'm sorry. You're not going to be able to right this second. >> Can I go inside, please? >> Where? >> Right there. Please. >> This is a church. That's >> I don't want to pray in front of everybody. You're not going to be able to pee right now. >> I don't want to pee in front of anybody. Please. >> I don't want to pee in front of everybody. >> You're not going to be able to pee right now. There's nowhere to pee, unfortunately. >> Would you be willing to participate in those exercises? >> No. >> And why is that? Because >> well, if you don't participate in those exercises, I have to make my determination on >> uh driving. >> Those guys reckless driving. You're not going to arrest them. >> Well, I'm dealing with you right now, unfortunately. >> Really? >> Yes. >> Really? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Sophia stubbornly denied driving, claiming a friend was behind the wheel. But when her lies hit a wall, she made her first flirtatious move, suddenly calling the officer babe to try a completely different tactic. If you do not if you do not participate in some of those exercises, then I have to make my determination on a DUI charge based off of what I've seen so far. And it seems like, you know, there's quite a few signs that you're under the influence. >> I am under the influence, but I did not drive. I >> swear to God. >> But you were driving. >> I was not. I was not. >> Sophia, you were driving. You had the car. >> Do you remember that you had the car in drive and then I had to put it in park for you? >> I was not. >> No, I did not. >> Well, how did your car get here then? >> My friend, >> my friend drove it over here for me. >> Okay. So that's not what happened. >> He drove it over here for me. >> We physically saw you driving. >> I was not driving. I was not driving. >> We saw you driving. >> I was not driving. I wasn't. >> I swear. I swear. >> Okay. Well, I'll ask you one more time. Would you be willing to participate in those exercises? >> No, I was not driving. >> Even if there's just one to check your eyes. >> I was not driving. >> It's [music] a super simple exercise, >> babe. I was not driving. I will not drive. Like, it's it was not me. It was never me. It's not just >> just not me. Was not me. >> Was not me. >> The officer finally got her to agree to the test, but Sophia wasn't done playing games. Her flirtatious stalling had worked so far, and she was about to take her performance to a whole new level. >> Can we try one exercise? >> And it would really help with me making my detation. >> Can I Can I please can I go first? >> You cannot make the second. No, >> there's nowhere to >> That's not fair. That's not fair. That is not fair. >> That is not fair. >> It is. >> You're asking me to take a promo >> to take a what? >> Without taking >> a what? >> Taking a test without taking a >> participate in an exercise. >> I've exactly >> But this exercise you only have to stand there. You were asking, babe. You were asking me babe. Babe, you were asking me to take a test without a test. >> That doesn't make much sense. >> You are asking me to take a test without a test. What do you mean by that? >> You are telling me to take a test without a test. >> I'm I'm asking if you're willing to participate in a exercise. >> You want me to participate? >> Do I what? [screaming] >> You want me to participate in this? >> Do if you're willing to. Yes. Hey. And do you want me to do what you want me to do or do you want me to do what I want to do? >> You can do whatever. >> I'll bust out. I'll bust out. >> But I'll do what you want to do, too. >> If you're willing to participate in >> I Hey, I will I will participate. >> Okay. It seems like that sidewalk is nice and flat for us. >> That's >> Would you be willing to walk over there? That one across the street? >> We just got to watch this car to our left. >> Hey, watch the car to my left. All right, you're good to go. >> Watch my car. >> All right, get run over. >> When the officer finished setting up the test, Sophia crossed every line. She moved in close, suggested they make out, and turn off the [music] lights. After looking him up and down, she made a vulgar offer, proving her flirting was a desperate weapon to avoid her DUI fate. >> Dave, do you mind uh turning off the front lights, please? >> Dave, >> here. We're going to come on over here, Sophia. >> Dave. Dave, we're going to make out. We're going to turn off lights here. >> Hey, Dave. Okay. >> We're going to make out here. >> Okay. >> We're going to make out here. >> No, we are not. Here. Wait. Wait. Stop right there. >> Turn off. Turn off the lights. We're going to make out. >> Wait. Wait. Stay right there for >> Oh, it's my bed. It's my bed. >> All right. >> I got to pee, bro. >> I know. I I have to pee. >> Pee, bro. I got to pee. >> Okay. Do you want to try this first exercise for me? I will do anything for you, daddy. >> God damn. >> All right. >> You in that suit, I will do [ __ ] anything for you. Sorry. >> That's all right. >> Knee reaction. >> All right. So, this first exercise >> in this [ __ ] suit, brother. >> This first exercise is going to test your eyes. Okay. But before >> dude, why are you drunk to ask me? I You know I'm drunk. >> We have >> Why are you doing this to me? >> Because I want to give you. >> You know, you know I'm drunk. Why are you doing this to me? >> You know that. >> Because we still have to. >> Why are you doing this to me? >> Try. >> So you're going to drunk and then uh Oh, no. No. Here. You stay right there. >> Oh. All right, in two seconds here. Wait, you stay right there. >> Are you going to tase me? No. I just need you. Hold on. >> Are you going to tase me? You're going to tase me >> right there. Sophia, you're going to tase me. >> Just when it seemed Sophia couldn't get more out of control, she took the flirtation to a new extreme. She began telling the body camera that the officer was taking her home, successfully getting a laugh from him and blurring every professional line. Get ahead of him. >> 1930. >> Hands off him. >> Sorry. >> Unfortunately, you're gonna have to >> I can't, bro.

You know that you're drunk. >> I am drunk. >> If you are willing to participate, >> bro, >> in a few exercises, I would like to do those. >> Don't you don't have to do this. >> If you don't want to, I can't make you. >> You don't have to do this. >> I have to try to do the exercises with you. >> I am drunk. >> I'm only asking your consent to do those. >> I am drunk.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I got a laugh out of him. >> I've been laughing and I got a laugh out of him. I got to laugh at him. >> Hey, he's taking me home. He's taking me home. >> He's all right. >> Just when Officer Nick thought he could begin the test, Sophia's flirtation took a wild and unpredictable turn. What she did next was so brazen it would make this DUI stop completely unforgettable. >> Let's try it again. >> Sorry. I'll make you laugh. First one. First one left folds. >> First one folds. >> Okay. Can you put your feet together? I'll put my feet together >> and your hands side to your side. >> Whatever you say, daddy. >> Okay, now before we start my hip up. >> No, I was grabbing my flashlight. >> Oh, whatever you want, daddy. >> Okay, before we start. >> Before we start.

I swear to God I'm wearing contacts. >> Hold on. I want you to I want you to think for like seconds. >> I am wearing contacts. >> Sophia, >> you might have glasses, but I am wearing contacts. >> Hey, Sophia. [music] >> I swear to God, I'm wearing contacts. >> Like two seconds. >> Why are you such a nerd, bro? >> In all seriousness, >> bro. Don't be such a nerd, bro. Sophia, in all seriousness, everything that we do, >> don't be such a nerd, bro. >> A body cam and that body cam is public record. >> Nerd. >> It's for anybody. >> I am a nerd. >> I am a nerd. >> I am a nerd. Show it to the body cam. I am a nerd. >> But anything we do is >> I am a nerd, bro. >> Hold on. Anything we do is recorded and anybody can see that. Mom, dad, grandma, family. I just >> You think I give a >> I I just wanted to let you know. >> You think I give a >> Okay. >> Sophia continued her flirtatious act, but the games [music] ended when Officer Nick finally moved in and placed her under arrest. >> Hey, nerd. Bro, >> nerd. >> Can we just try this one exercise? >> You want to? I would like to. Yes. >> Do you want to come back here and stand with your feet together? >> No, I don't. I actually want to stand back here with my feet uh actually my arms around me like this. >> Okay. So cold. >> It's so cold. >> What the handcuffs? >> Yeah, >> I know. >> Come on. It's so cold, bro.

One more pick. One more pick. Wait. No. Take one more picture. >> I'm taking pictures the whole time. >> No. Take one more picture. >> Come on. >> Take one more picture. >> All right. Here you go. >> Take one more picture. >> I took it. There you go. No, you didn't. >> I did. The body cam took it. Remember? >> Even after her arrest, Sophia continued her inappropriate flirting. Officer Nick then called her friend to pick up the car so they could finally take her to jail. >> Hey. >> Yes, ma'am. >> I see you guys. >> Butt first is easier or however you want to. I know this is not good news, Sophia, but you are going to jail tonight for DUI. Okay. Is there anybody that can come pick up your car? >> I'm trying to see if anybody anybody can pick it up. >> You >> I cannot I don't want your car to get towed. I want I don't want you to have to pay for that. Is there anybody that can come pick up your car for you? >> You. >> I, >> Sophia. It's pointless money that you'll have to spend to get your car out. Can you call somebody that can come pick it up that won't be extremely far away? >> You know what? I should be hanging out with spider dudes. I should not be hanging out with my >> phone. See is there somebody in your phone that we can call to come pick up your car? >> Yeah. His name is Connor Gazelle. >> Is that one of the bad guys that you said you're hanging out with? >> All right. Listen, >> don't >> I'm saying do you trust this person with your cars when I'm trying to get out? >> Yes. >> Okay, >> I do. Okay, then he's going to grab your phone and we're going to see if we can call him. Is he sober? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Will you just >> Hold on. Stay right there. >> Cut me off for a second. >> What? You afraid of my private dick? >> No. >> Yeah, you are. >> I am not. >> Yeah, you are. >> Conor G. >> Yeah, that's him. >> Yeah. Can I call Connor? >> Accept. Accept. It's >> Hey, Connor. >> Hey, put it on speaker. >> Hold on. You're going to yell too much. >> Connor, this is Officer Berner with the Sarasota Police Department. How are you, >> bro? You, bro. >> Um, I'm here with Sophia and we are downtown. >> Give it to me. >> And she's going to be going to jail for you. Give it to me. Give it to me. >> She's wondering if you can come pick up her car for her. Officer Barer worked to find someone trustworthy to take Sophia's car, making several calls to confirm. He was determined to ensure her vehicle ended up in the right hands. >> So, I mean, no. I mean, she's going to jail. I mean, we could park the car here, but we can't leave the keys with it cuz we can't sit here and watch it, unfortunately. Um, do you have his number? Okay. Okay. Do you guys like all know each other or something? >> All right. >> Okay. And do you know Sophia? Well, >> okay. And what's your name again? >> Kayla. Okay. Sophia, can Kayla come grab the keys and take your Jeep? >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. Why don't you call um Let me call >> Call Siana. Call Sienna. How about that? Call Sienna.

Thanks, >> bro. >> Brother, >> hold on. Hey, man. It's Bernier. Hey, so apparently like you worked like a signal three or something with this girl is like Kayn or something like that today. >> It was Cook. Okay. But you like know it's like Kayn is like your girlfriend's best friend or something like that. >> Kayla. >> I I don't know. She said something about like a signal 3 or something that you know about. >> No. Okay. >> By uh I don't know. So, side story. We're arresting her friend for a DUI and Kayla wants to Yeah. Sophia. So, Kayla wants to come pick up the car, but we can't leave the keys in the car and stuff like that. So, she said Sophia's okay with you grabbing the keys and Kayla grabbing them from you later. Okay. Where were you at? >> We're at uh second and orange right now. >> Okay. >> So, to deal with the car, Kayla knows one of our officers. We're going to give the keys to that officer. We're going to move your car over to the side a little bit and then Kayla's going to come grab the keys. Are you okay with that? >> Yes. >> Okay. 100%. No questions asked. You're okay with that? >> Okay. Is there anything out of the car that you want? No. >> Is your wallet in the car? >> I just have paper. >> Is your wallet in the car so that we can grab your like ID and whatnot? >> It's fine. >> Okay. Where's it at? >> In the bar? >> Yeah. >> Your car? Your card is in the bar? >> It's in the car. >> Okay. >> In the bar. >> Okay.

We're going to do the vehicle release or motor vehicle release form. She said it's okay, but we'll probably just like park it right there. >> Yeah, I'll stay with it. >> And then I mean, you don't if it's locked, she's fine with her coming to pick it up later and leave it there. So, I just got to give these to Kayla. >> Hey, Sophia, can we park the Jeep there and then Kayla can come pick it up later? >> If I can, >> you'll be able to the jail. Yes. Is that okay? >> Please. >> Okay, we'll get on the way then. >> While searching her car, officer Nick made a shocking discovery from another cop. Sophia had a history of getting into trouble, proving her flirtatious act was a well practiced routine. >> Can you unlock for me? >> You know this girl, too? >> I know who she is, >> dude. She is She is hammered. Yeah, apparently we got into two fours this week. >> What? This thing? >> Yeah. Not DUI related. This one's DUI related. >> Oh, yeah. Obviously. >> What's up? >> What? >> In the end, all the flirting in the world couldn't save her. Sophia was officially charged with driving under the influence. [music] Next up, we have former Ohio State Trooper Brian Lee, who saw traffic stops as an opportunity for personal gain. >> Am I going to get rushed into this? For what? >> Please show me your >> Come on out. Stand out here in front of my car there for me. >> Okay. My Sorry. >> On August 9th, 2013, he pulled over two attractive women suspected of drunk driving. When they began flirting to get out of trouble instead of shutting it down, Officer Lee played along with jokes and laughter, completely violating his professional duty. >> Trying to get a knife. I couldn't take you home. just take her home and handcuff her and just >> I was just at like orange carpet last week. So [laughter] >> I would have I would have saw you in a nice white guy. >> You probably would have had to call your >> take me home and I'm wearing a little dress. I'm dressed like a hooker. >> We did go. >> What? What more do I have to do? >> I don't know what you want me to do, but I'm just telling you that I do not want to get in trouble for using the looking like that. >> You can get in trouble in trouble for looking like >> I don't know. I can't really see. >> I'm not indeent. >> Tell you please tell her to get out of the car. Step out of the car. >> I'll step out of the car. >> Tell me. >> We'll play We'll play this game. Watch. >> Am I going to get rushed for this? >> For what? >> You are a nice [laughter] >> He told me to get back in the car. >> I'll get I'll get you out here in a second. >> Oh my god. I am so sorry. I'll be >> I apologize. >> We can play that one once I turn the camera off. I have to say do you have one? >> Yes, you just said you got to turn it off before you say then you just jump off. So, >> but I do have to get you out. Just make sure you >> That's fine. You think you're hiding there >> and then then I'll come back out and play back. >> Can I have my license off? >> Yep. After I run it, >> make sure you're not running. >> What do you want me to do? >> Just come on out. Stand out here in front of my car there for me. >> That's fine. My car now. >> What do you want me to do? Go ahead and stand right there in front of my car. I just want to check your eyes here. >> Okay. >> Thanks for 1832 check. >> Okay. You said you had nothing there. >> No, I did drink a couple glasses of wine earlier at dinner. No, that was about 5:30 tonight, though. >> Okay. >> Yeah, it wasn't any time. Go >> ahead and stand right there for me. Okay. What I want you to do is face me. Okay. Go >> ahead and put your feet together. arms down your side and pull your hair back out of your eyes. Make sure I can see into your eyes. No, like look up here for me. What I want you to do is look at this pen here with your eyes and with your eyes only. Okay. >> Go ahead and put your hands up here and hold your chin. That way you can hold your head. Mhm. >> You able to see the tip of the fan here? >> Yeah. I can't follow this garage. That's the point. You're not taking your >> You can see the shocking moment when one of the women voluntarily gets into the officer's personal vehicle, not as a suspect in custody, but as a willing participant in his corrupt game. Yes, you do. I live on the street. You don't know. >> One second here. >> It's a black car. >> One second here. >> This was the moment the professional line was erased. By letting her into his car, officer Lee willingly stepped into the scandal that would end his career. Moving on to the case of Brooke Teague, who discovered that a little charm and a lot of giggles could almost make an officer forget he [music] was conducting a DUI investigation. >> You're smiling. I can't help it. [laughter] >> All right, sit. Stop. >> One, two, three. Four, five, six, seven. >> That's my dog. That's my dog. >> Is that your dog? What's his name? >> His name is Coach. Stand up. >> On January 15th, 2023, Officer Smith initiated a traffic stop for improper lane usage. He approached Brooke [music] Teague, who was on the phone, and immediately noted her slurred speech and the odor of Intoxic as she claimed she had single Miller Light after her shift at JJ's Grill. >> Hello. >> Hello. Hey, I'm Officer Smith, man. Go police department. Nice to >> meet you, Mr. Smith. >> Um, never heard that before. I'm trying to stop. I appreciate that. Um, hey, so I'm just stopping you for improper lane use. >> Sorry, I was on the phone. >> You're on the phone? >> I'll be honest. >> Okay. Who are you on the phone with? >> My baby daddy. I'll show it to you, too. >> Okay. Zachary. >> Yeah, you can talk to him if you want. >> Where are you coming from? >> I'm coming from JJ's. I just got off. I'm going to Street. Yeah. >> Okay. You live on street? Yes, sir. >> Bentonville? >> Yep. >> Okay. What time did your shift end at JJ's? >> It ended at 10:30. >> Okay. You had to clean up and all that stuff. >> Okay. How much you have to drink tonight? >> Only one drink. >> Just one drink. Final answer. >> Miller. >> A Miller Light? >> Yes. >> I won't lie to you. A Miller Light. >> That's That's all you've had. >> Yes, sir. You can ask Zachary. >> I don't really want to talk about >> I know you don't, but I'm just saying. >> Okay. Hey, u do you have your driver's license? >> Yes, sir. Um here's these two. My insurance and registration. Give me a second cuz I do throw my driver license in here. >> As Brooke clumsily searched for her license, the officer noted her severe impairment and mentioned her name sounded familiar. During the sobriety tests, she used flirty smiles and giggles to charm him, even making him laugh. But her terrible performance and the fact she was recognized clearly [music] proved she was under the influence. >> All right, Brooke. Hey, would you want to do some field sobriety tests? Make sure you're good to go. >> All right, step forward for me. All right, put your feet together like mine. Heel to heel, toe to toe. Keep your arms at your side and just relax. Okay, look straight ahead. You see it's tip my finger. >> Yes. No. >> Yes. >> All right. Fall with your eyes. Don't move your head. Do you understand that? >> Okay. >> Okay. You want to move your hair a little bit for me? >> Appreciate it. All right. Okay. Don't move your head. Try not to move your head. You're making me giggle. I'm sorry. >> He makes me giggle, too. That's a thing. >> Okay. >> I snore. I'm from Huntsville. >> We're supposed to be professional. >> I'm from Huntsville. Isn't it going to make me snort? >> I can tell you're trying to laugh, and it's making me laugh. Good. >> You're smiling. I can't help it. >> All right, sit. Stop. >> Okay. I'm sorry. >> I'm one of I'm just smiling. >> No, >> I'm sorry. >> Anyway, >> I get nervous. >> Okay, don't move your head. Okay. Okay. Put your right foot in front of your left foot on that imaginary line. Keep your arms at your side and just relax. Okay? Don't move until I tell you to do so. Do you understand that? >> Yes, sir. >> All right. For this test, I'm going to take nine heel to toe steps down the imaginary line. Make a small turn and then take nine more heel to toe steps back down that imaginary line with your arms at your side, looking down at your feet and counting out loud. It's going to look and sound like this. Okay? >> One, two, three, so on and so forth until you get to nine. Assuming this is your lead foot, take a series of small steps exactly like so to turn around. And then take nine more heel to toe steps back down an imaginary line. One, two, three. So on and so forth until you get to nine. For demonstration purposes, I'm doing three. Remember, you're doing nine. Okay. During this test, remember, keep your arms at your side, look down at your feet, count out loud, and do not stop the test until you've completed the test. >> Okay. >> Okay. Do you have any questions? Yes, sir. >> Do you understand the test? >> Yes, sir. >> All right. Remember, keep your arms at your side. Okay. You can begin whenever you're ready. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. >> Officers performed a few more tests to make sure. So, raising your foot above above the ground approximately 6 in with your toe pointing forward, your knees straight, your arms at your side, looking down at your elevated toe. You're going to count out loud 1,00 1,002 1,003 so on and so forth until I tell you to stop. Okay, remember, look down at your foot, keep your arms at your side, keep that knee straight, toe pointing forward, and your foot above the ground approximately 6 in. Okay, do you understand the test? >> To nine. >> Sorry. >> To nine. >> To nine. >> To how many seconds? until I tell you to stop. >> Okay. >> Okay. Do you have any questions? >> Yes, sir. >> You have a train test? >> Yes, sir. >> You have time? >> Yep. >> All right. Whenever you're ready. Keep arms at your side. Okay. Out of your pockets. >> 1 second. 2. 3 second. 4 second. 5 second. 6 seconds. 7 seconds. 8 second. 9 second. 10 second. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 256 >> Okay, you can put your foot down. >> Despite her best efforts to flirt and charm her way out of trouble with smiles and giggles, Brook's act ultimately failed. The evidence from the field tests was too strong, and Officer Smith had no choice but to place her under arrest. >> How much you've actually had a drink? >> I've had two Millers. >> Two Millers now. That's it. >> Yes, sir. You can call Mitchell, the manager. Okay. Well, hey, go ahead and put your hands on your back for me. Okay. >> Yeah. >> 9. So, uh, >> I have a son. Can my >> come get the car? >> Hold on one second. 971 10:15. >> He's on the phone still. >> Who is >> my baby daddy? It's on the dashboard. >> Okay. Zachary. >> Yes. Okay. Do you have anything in your pockets? >> No sir at all? No. >> Nothing at all? >> No. Nothing at all. >> After arresting Brooke, Officer Smith made the tense call to her baby daddy, revealing she was facing an 8-hour lockup. But Brooke had one more card to play. Trapped in the back of the patrol car, she gasped for air, claiming a medical crisis. Officer Smith immediately handed her an inhaler, a clear sign her desperate performance was still pulling his strings. >> She's She's knocking. [snorts] Hello. >> Can I please have my inhaler? >> Your inhaler? >> It's in my purse. >> Your inhaler? >> The purse? >> Hey, she's apparently needs her inhaler. Are we allowed to give people inhalers? >> I guess if it's a medical emergency. >> She's freaking out a little bit. So, I guess we'll do that. >> All right. You okay? >> Can you shake it? >> Do you need an ambulance? >> No. >> Ready? >> Yeah. Okay, you ready again? >> Yeah. >> Hey, if at any point you think you need an ambulance, you better tell me. Okay. >> After being taken to the station for processing, Brooke immediately turned on her charm. She asked the officer to fix her hair, joked about his dog, and laughed at his stories. Even in handcuffs, she kept him completely focused on her. Every word and gesture designed to hold his attention. >> You're going to be fine. You're not going to be put in a cell with a bunch of crackheads. You'll be all right. >> All right. Can you my hair? >> Your what? >> My hair. >> Where do you want it? >> Right here. >> Like this way. >> Out of my cheek. >> All right. Go this way. Um, hey. So, once I sit you down and we start reading stuff, I can't You can't put anything in your mouth. Okay. >> Can you take it out completely? >> Take what out completely? >> The freaking hair in my cheek. It's okay. It'll be fine. It'll be fine. Do >> you have like a ponytail thing or >> It's fine. I'll be fine. >> While completing the paperwork, Officer Smith showed Brooke photos of his dog and they bonded over their high school years. Her flirtatious charm successfully turned a formal arrest into a surprisingly friendly and personal conversation. >> That's my dog. That's my dog. >> Is that your dog? What's his name? >> His name is Coach. >> Coach? I have three dogs that are brought by Great Dane in the last. >> Wow, that's a lot. >> To protect me. [laughter] >> You just have to wait. There's a lot of waiting involved in this. >> I understand. Did I go to high school? [music] >> What? >> Did I go to high school with you? >> I don't think so. >> Where'd you go to high school? >> Yeah. >> Where'd you go? >> Indiana. >> Vero, Indiana. >> Where in Indiana? >> Verzo. >> I was raised from Bloomfield. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> Where'd you Arkansas? >> My dad was in the Marines. >> Oh. >> Retired in India, but I went to Arkansas. >> What year? Um, 2007ish. >> Just curious. >> Bloomfield. >> There you go. >> Little Bloomfield action. >> Little town. >> Can I hear that one more time? >> Officer Smith read the official DWI statement to Brooke and get it signed from her. >> I'm going to read you some stuff >> first. You have to listen to it. >> Of course. >> Trying to pay attention to it. >> Of course. >> Um, so this paper you have, I have the same exact paper up here. I'm going to start right here. Give me this real quick. We are not going to read this one cuz you are not under 21. Um or that one. >> The order won't be a a big issue. >> Oh, you're fine. So, I'm going to start right here. I'm going to skip anything with an X on it. >> Okay. >> Okay.

That's up to you. >> Okay. >> Perfect. Thank you. >> As Officer Smith prepared the breathalyzer, Brooke turned on the tears, using her emotional vulnerability to keep his attention, he responded with comforting words and gentle instructions, showing how her dramatic flare successfully kept him wrapped around her finger. >> Hey, you okay? Breathe, cuz I can't give you your inhaler until later. So, just relax. You're going to be fine. [snorts] We've got about 6 minutes or so until it's ready for you. Who ever used one of these before? Who ever used one of these before? Or like a PBT or anything? All right. Hey, we need to slow it down. Okay. Just relax. Don't put yourself into some kind of episode. [music] Okay. Just relax.

You don't do you don't make any noises. You don't suck. You don't do anything other than just blow really, really hard into the tube. >> Even after her emotional performance, Brooke continued her flirtatious act by asking about the officer's dog again during the breath test. But her charms couldn't beat the machine, which showed a 0.14 result, proving she was nearly twice the legal limit. >> You'll protect me, right? >> Oh, yeah. He's not going to do anything. >> Okay. He loves almost like it picks you out a little teasing my oxygen. >> So, what's coach doing? >> Hopefully, he's sleeping. >> I hope so, too, right? >> He had a >> He's five.

Um, you hang on. >> You have to handcuff me. >> Not yet. Um, we're going to go in this room over here, though. That's our field trip. >> I promise I'll be here. [music] >> Um, on the other side of that island is a bench, same as the other one. Have a seat on that. While being processed, Brooke tried to gain [music] sympathy by sharing personal details about her divorce and her previous bad relationship. >> This is going to get me in a lot of trouble with the divorce of my baby daddy. >> It is. >> Is it anything about that? Um I'm not quite sure. I can tell you that this doesn't make you a bad person. >> Right. Well, I dated someone with six DUIs. >> You [music] what? >> I dated with someone with six DUIs. >> Six? >> Yeah. >> He's in prison. Don't worry. He's wrong. >> Was that the guy you mentioned earlier? >> Yeah. >> That is wild. Um hopefully this is like this never happens again. Um >> me too because I hope he doesn't take it to court against me against my son. >> Well, I hope not too. That's uh that'd be kind of a not a cool thing to do. >> Officer Smith read Brooke the formal charges driving while intoxicated. He explained her license would be suspended. She faced an 8-hour sober hold and had to mail a hearing request within 7 days to contest the suspension. Hearing this, Brooke broke down in tears again. >> So, this is the official notice that the suspension, revocation, or disqualification of your driving privilege will begin at midnight of the 30th day from the date of arrest. Okay. So, just sign right here for me. The date is the 15th. After reading all the formal charges, Officer Smith told Brooke she would be released after an 8-hour sober hold at the Benton County Jail. He informed her she could then call her baby daddy or an Uber. I stand up. You will bring it, right? >> The inhaler. >> Yes. Um, I'll let the nurse know that. So, what what all do you have going on? >> We have a lot going on. >> Well, I meant like medically. All right. Do you want a seat belt or anything? No. Okay. So, you're going to get your phone when you're released and there's a waiting area where you can make a phone call and ask for a ride. Um, I already told Zachary the time that you would be or the approximate time that you'd be held there, which is >> well, it's 8 hours from the time of arrest. So, which was It was exactly 1:09. You thought it was 11:00. [snorts] So, like 9:30ish probably. You'll be on your way. Yeah, of course. You'll You have free to call whoever. You can call an Uber. Um you could walk. I It's an option. Some people do that. >> Brooke was officially charged with driving while intoxicated. DWI. Despite all the flirting, tears, and personal stories she used throughout the night, she couldn't charm her way out of the charges and was taken to jail. Next up, we have a case where the suspect's badge was his best tool for flirtation. Corporal Scott Bzik, a veteran officer, believed [music] his charm and status could talk his way out of a DUI with the female officer who pulled him over. >> You are? >> Yes. >> I'm not drunk. I'm pissed and I'm tired. >> 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011. >> I'm very sorry. They put you in. >> On January 1st, 2021, Officer Brook Shudderly responded to a crash only to find her colleague, Corporal Birdie Bertzik was the driver, he immediately turned on the charm using a friendly, familiar tone to downplay the incident, hoping their professional bond would work in his favor. >> You are silver car. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. Um, if you want to go back over there, I'll come get your info in just a second. >> All right. So, uh, >> yeah. Reached out for my lighter, slammed into his ass. >> Cool. >> No, not really. >> Not really. >> No, >> he didn't want to do an information exchange. >> He does. I just No, now I found it. >> Okay. Well, Okay. >> Information exchange. I found it. >> All right. Are you okay? >> Oh, yeah. No, I'm good. >> As officer Shudderly investigated, Bertzik kept joking and acting casual. Then she walked over to the other driver involved in the crash. In a friendly and patient way, she explained his options for the insurance exchange [music] and the accident report, carefully taking down all of his information. Your >> airbag went off. Your car's [ __ ] Oh, >> no. Absolutely. which I find. >> That sucks. >> Pull these nails off. You can come give you a ride. >> Just goddamn repaired that. >> Do you want me to let him know you found the insurance? >> Same thing. >> Well, maybe you should not do that then. So, uh, you want me to let him know you found your insurance? See if he wants to do an information exchange? >> Christ, >> that's fine. >> Okay. He mentioned you guys had talked about exchanging information, but he hadn't had his insurance pulled up. >> Um, we have a couple options with this. It's really cut and dry. So, if you want to just go through insurance, you can. If you want a full-fledged report, we can do that. However you want to go about it. How long will the report going to take? A long time. >> Um, it usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes for me to get the driver's exchange done. >> Yeah, I do. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Can I get your driver's license and if you have your registration as well? And are you the registered owner of the car? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Perfect. Did you have any passengers? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Is he still here? >> Yeah, he ran over. >> Okay, cool. Is the guy with a hat on? >> Yes, ma'am. This right here. This right here. >> Yes, sir. >> This right here. >> Yeah. Okay. >> License. >> All right. And you have insurance on the vehicle? >> Yes, ma'am. I need to see my insurance card. >> It should autopop populate. If it doesn't, I'll come get it from you. Okay. >> After finishing with the other driver, officer Shudderly made a difficult call to her sergeant. She reported that one of us was involved in the crash immediately showing she would not ignore her colleagueu's mistake. >> I'm guessing the car is registered to you. >> Yep. Cool. Thank you. Thank you. You know, I don't need that. Should hypothetically autopop populate. Give me a second cuz I'm going to call Prister and see if he needs me to do anything special since it's one of us. >> Yep. >> So, >> give me a minute. >> Sorry, Birdie. Hey, this crash, um, Birdie ASO, come work it. Okay. I can't remember. It's been a long time since I've worked a crash with one of us in it. So, no, he's not on duty. He's in his POV, but I just didn't want there to be any like conflict of interest type issues. All right, that was it. I just wanted to make sure. Yay. Bye. >> She then went back to make sure the other driver was okay, giving him his license back and carefully explaining the insurance process and what to do if he felt injured later. Her professionalism with him contrasted sharply with the situation unfolding with her partner. >> All right, >> here's that back. And then I'm not sure where your brother went, but I have his license, too. >> Oh, okay. I'm going to just go hand this to him real quick and then then we'll be done. >> Hello. I'm just here to give you your license back. >> Thank you, sir. Are you on the phone with the insurance? Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. So, [music] what they're asking for is this number right here. That's the report number. And then they're probably going to ask you all of this information. This is all of his vehicle information, insurance, owner, driver, driver information, and then all of your information as well. >> Okay. >> Um, just so you know, state of Florida has a 14-day window in which to report injury. You don't usually feel it the first night, but if you wake up tomorrow and you're like, "Oh gosh, it hurts." >> Yeah. >> Let your insurance company know and they'll set up a doctor's appointment for you. Okay. >> Officer Shudderly's voice turned serious. She told Berick he was being detained. His smile disappeared and he became frustrated. His flirty strategy was failing and he didn't know how to handle it. The situation was about to get even more uncomfortable when backup arrived. Are >> they still in it or no? >> Yeah, he's still in it. >> Is he really? >> So, Birdie, you you giving me some indicators? >> Oh, >> listen. Listen, >> woman. >> Listen, Valdez is coming out just to I'm not going to lie to you about it. >> She's on her way. >> Yeah, she's on her way. Hey, >> cuz I I'm not I'm not really comfortable with this whole thing at all, but I'm not going to lie to you about it. >> Oh, no. I I don't mean to put you in that indie. >> Yep. >> Yeah. So, from now on, you know how it goes. You can't consume anything. Okay. Cuz right now, you you're being detained. >> Wait, what? I'm holding on to you because I have a supervisor coming to see if I need to do a full-fledged DUI investigation or not. >> Attention all channel one3. >> So, please don't make my life difficult. >> I would never do that to you. >> Okay. I I'm very uncomfortable right now >> and and I apologize for putting you in that position. >> Okay. >> Are you on? >> Yes. Yes, I am. And I'm going to remain on fair enough >> because I integrity. While waiting for the supervisor, Bertzik tried to smoke and was stopped. He then broke down in tears, claiming innocence. Officer Shuttterly gently consoled him, showing how he used emotional manipulation when his initial charm failed to work. You know, you can't smoke right now. >> You can't consume anything. >> Why? >> Cuz if I'm going to do a DUI investigation, it impedes it. So, you can't consume anything. >> I'm not going to say anything. >> It's out there. I don't give a >> I mean about this. >> I'm not drunk. I'm ass. I'm tired. me. She did it. I don't give a [ __ ] What the dude? >> Bravo 23 all channels 1014. >> Whatever. Divorce and divorce. Oh, >> sometimes it is. >> I want to get that dog. That is a really cute dog. >> Fear aggression is >> h >> fear aggression issue. >> I mean, you can always train a dog. >> When the senior officer arrived, he confirmed officer Shudderly was 100% right to investigate the DUI. Surrounded by other cops, Bertzik looked embarrassed. >> She wants to do DUI. Do it. >> And I can put you in that spot. I can put her in that spot. >> 723. >> She made me aware of who it was. >> Go ahead. >> Well aware. >> Okay, >> fair enough. >> If we have any fair up here, I think it's >> put anyone in that spot. >> Three people from his crew that are >> She's absolutely 100% right in what she's doing. You can't consume anything. >> You can't me >> trying. >> Come on. >> So, >> but too late now. >> Question. Cuz you just had somebody else roll. >> Okay. I think they're with him cuz he was still in the car. So, he's free to go. >> Yeah, he's okay. Is he just hanging out to hang out? >> Yeah, cuz his car is all jacked up on the back. >> Oh, so we have a motto or what is he doing exactly? I guess >> um I think his sister is coming to pick him up, which is the car that rolled up. I think so. Cuz she was here earlier, took his brother and then now I guess is taking him. >> Tired and pissed. >> Do what you got to do. >> Well, we're going to go to the back of Sergeant's car. Okay, >> cuz that's where my clipboard is. That's where the most level ground is. There's a line. >> Fair enough. >> After ensuring everything was managed for the other driver, officer Shudderly began the sobriety tests on Bzick. Forced to follow the pen with his eyes, he was treated like any other suspect. Stripped of his authority, the most damaging part of his test was still to come. >> All right, I'm going to check your eyes. >> Please remove glasses if you wear them. >> Keep your head still and follow the stimulus. It's going to be the blue light at the end of this pin. Do not move your head. Do you understand the instructions? Yes, sir. >> Next was the walk and turn test. Bick struggled to walk in a straight line. He was failing the very tests he was trained to administer and his fellow officers were watching. >> We're going to do the walk and turn now. We'll do it this way. You're going to stand like this >> until I advise you to do otherwise. >> Do not start until I tell you to. Do you understand the directions? When I tell you to begin, you're going to take nine heel totoe steps on the line. You're going to turn around, keeping one foot on the line, and return nine heel to toe steps. On the ninth step, you're going to keep the front foot on the line and turn by taking several small steps with the other foot. It'll be like so. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. You're going to take a series of small steps to turn around and return back. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. While walking, watch your feet at all times. Keep your arms at your side and count your steps out loud. Once you begin, do not stop until the test is completed. Do you understand the instructions? >> You may begin the test. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, 9. >> Do you want to finish? 72 left. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. >> Bzik failed the walk and turn test so badly he had to empty his pockets for a second attempt. He then completely failed the one leg stand, but the most embarrassing moment of his career was still waiting for him. I'm going to ask you to do the one leg stand. Okay? You're going to stand with your feet together. >> Literally in uniform, I can't do this. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2 3 4 5 with nothing. >> I'm going to ask you to do the one leg stand. >> Absolutely. So, you're going to stand with your feet together and your arms at your side like so. Do not begin the test until I tell you to. Do you understand? >> I do. >> When I tell you to, I want you to raise one leg, either leg you choose, approximately 6 in off the ground. >> Okay? >> Foot pointed outward. Keep both legs straight. And watch your raised foot. Okay? It will look like so. While holding that position, you're going to count out loud 1,001 1,00 and2 1003 and so forth until told to stop. >> Okay? >> It'll look like this. 1001, 102, 103, and so forth. >> Do you understand the instructions? Yes, >> ma'am, I do. >> You may begin the exercise. 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2007 2008 2009 2010 101 2013 14 >> [ __ ] perfect >> as the officers discussed the situation BSik made a shocking moved. He walked over and hugged officer Butterley, using their personal friendship in a final desperate attempt [music] to change the outcome, proving he would try anything to avoid arrest. >> That was what I was hoping for. You know what I mean? >> I know. I'm sorry. You got a lot of stuff going on. And so with that being said, there's things that we can do to fix this. everything. >> Despite the tears and the hug, the officers had no choice. They arrested Bertik, placed him in a patrol car, and took him to the station, ending his desperate attempts to flirt and cry his way out of a DUI. >> Yes, he will. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> You've been compliant. Can I at least cuff you in the front? I know. >> It's got the hinge locks. >> Okay. Good to go. >> Yeah. Can I uncuff you now? >> Nope. Fear does have to come off. does have to come unlock. Bzik turned on the tears, playing the victim with a crying apology. The officer's voice softened, consoling [music] him, proving that even after arrest, his emotional performance was still working on his colleagues. >> I'm very sorry. >> They put you. >> Corporal BSE was ultimately charged with driving under the influence, DUI, with property damage. He pleaded no contest, resulting in fines, community service, DUI classes, and a suspended license. His law enforcement certification was also suspended and he faced an internal departmental suspension proving that no one is above the
