That's all right. Just do your best. Okay. All right. So, for this test, I'm going to put you in a starting position and then once I do, you're not going to move until I tell you to go. Okay. Yes, sir. Do you have any physical ailments that will prevent you from doing a walking turn today? My knees are kind of trembling cuz I feel very anxious and nervous. All right. Well, I've never had this. That won't stop you from taking from taking steps. And you're comfortable being barefoot. You're certain of that? Yeah. Okay. I'm a hippie. All right. So, for this for this, we're just going to keep your feet together, arms down at your sides just like last time. Yes. And then I want you to imagine a straight line coming out from between your feet and going this way. Can you do that for me? Be able to tell. Well, we're going to get there. All right. Just listen to the instructions cuz they can get a little complex. And if you have any questions, we can go over that when I'm done. Too much. So, imagine a straight line coming out this way. Can you I'm doing this. This is the first time in my life. All right. Now, go ahead and place your left foot on the line like this. All right. Now, place your right foot in front, heel to toe, like you said, and then keep your arms at your sides and stand just like that for me until I tell you to begin the test. Okay? So, stay just like that. And I'm going to demonstrate part of the test. So, from that position, you are going to take nine heel to toe steps. It's going to look like this. One, two, three, and so on until you reach nine. While you're walking, you're going to count each step out loud and look at your toes while you're walking. Okay. When you reach your ninth step, you're going to keep your front foot planted on the ground and turn in a series of small steps just like this. Turn at the end of nine. And then you're going to take nine heel to toe steps back. One, two, three. Still looking at your toes. Still counting out loud until you reach nine. All right. Does that make sense? Damn. All right.

So, again, I'm going to ask, do you have any physical ailments that will prevent you from standing on one leg? Yes, sir. You don't or you do? No, I can. Okay. All right. So, for this test, once again, feet together, arms down at your sides. And again, I'm going to demonstrate part of the test before I have you do it. Okay. Well, we'll get there. I'm going to go over the instructions. I'm going to demonstrate part of the test and I'll have you go. Keep standing like that, though. Feet together, arms at your sides. Okay. So, for this test, you're going to pick one leg. Doesn't matter which. All right, it's up to you. You're going to lift it approximately six inches off the ground. Think of standing on a soda can. Okay. You're going to keep your foot parallel to the ground like this. So, point those toes. All right. You're going to look at your toes and you're going to count out loud in this fashion. 100,00 1,002 1,003 and so on until I tell you to stop. All right. Okay. You run the world. All right. Do you have any questions? No, I'm not. This one's a little bit. All right, we got I'm just kidding because I have not. You may begin.

If you take a chemical test, you may have an independent chemical test taken at your own expense. So, what does that mean? You guys going to test? So, what that means is Ohio. It means Ohio law requires that you submit to a chemical test for test me. If I if I'm over it, I'm over. I've got to learn my lesson.

So, 1 2 3 all the way up to to nine. Okay? When you get to your ninth step, you're going to take a small series of steps and you're going to come back nine steps. Okay?

I think and we kind of talked about it before, but you're not supposed to be dry here. Coach, turn your hand away. No, no, you can do that. There you go. Just like that. Um, you can't be drink you can't be drinking as much as you drink and then driving. Okay. And then like I said, I like I told you earlier, you were driving in the middle of the road and then look at where you pulled over. You're supposed to pull over on the side, you know. So, let's go back over here. All right. So, I'm going to read you something important. You're under arrest for DWI driving while under the while driving while intoxicated. Okay. The New Mexico Implied Consent Act requires you to submit a breath test to determine the alcohol content of your After you take our test, you have the right to choose an additional independent test. The cost of this additional test would be paid for by the law enforcement agency. Mhm. Do you agree to be tested to take a breath test? Yes. Okay. All right. So, what we're going to do is I'm going to take you to the sheriff's office and I'm going to where there's a machine there and then I'm going to have uh this deputy here administer a test to see how much alcohol is in your breath. Okay. Okay. All righty. Um will you do me a favor? Will you just open your mouth real quick? All the way. And then do you have anything? Okay. You don't have anything in your mouth. Okay. All righty. All right. So, go ahead and sit in there where it's a little bit warmer and then we'll uh we'll go to the we'll go to the sheriff's office. Okay. Okay. Will you turn your head and look that way? There you go. There's the seat belt. No, you're fine. I'm sorry to be so close. Okay. Can she just pull back? Huh? Okay. Lift that way. That way I can unbuckle you. There you go. There you go. All right, let's go with me. All right. Have you ever blown up a balloon? I don't know. So, this test is like blowing up a balloon. Under New Mexico law, driving with a alcohol concentration, BAC, of 0.08% 08% or higher is considered driving while under the influence, DWI, a serious offense that can result in fines, license suspension, and jail time. Have a seat right here. It is a long name. All right. So, this machine's going to do a lot of beeping. All right. So, it's going to do a lot of beeping and making a lot of noises. All right. This is a new mouthpiece for you. Once we're ready for it, I'll let you know. You take a big deep breath in and then you're just going to start blowing to the machine. Okay? So, you'll be going just like you're blowing up a balloon. Okay? You'll keep blowing until I tell you to stop. As long as you're blowing, the machine will be making a noise. All right? So, that way we can tell if you're actually blowing and if it's enough air for the machine. Okay? So remember, you'll keep blowing until I tell you to stop. Um, and then it'll do some more beeping, some more tests in between, and then we'll blow a second time. As long as it's happy with those two, we'll be good. Uh, if it asks for it, we might have to do it a third time. Okay. Okay. All right. You ready? Go and take a deep breath in for me. All right. Go ahead and blow. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Okay, you can stop. All right, let's try one more time. Didn't like that one. All right, deep breath in and blow. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. All right, you can stop. Okay, you want to stand up? Let me put those in front. Okay. I'm going to have you sign something. All right. So even though you don't have a license, um you have the right basically if you get a DWI, um we serve you with a notice of revocation that basically telling you that you can't drive in New Mexico. Okay. Yeah. Um so they're revoke they will be revoked in 20 days. Okay. So, if you want to fight this, if you want to contest it, it tells you how to do it back here. Okay? And this it tells you how to get a hearing and if you want to challenge it. Okay? All right. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to I'm going to have you sign and let's just say that I'm giving you this piece of paper. All right? and that you that you're going to read it and you're going to and so you're going to have to put right here where it says driver signature sign your name. After failing field sobriety tests, she was arrested for driving while under the influence DWI and taken to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office where a breath test confirmed a BAC of 0.15% nearly twice the legal limit. Under New Mexico law, this qualifies as aggravated DWI, carrying harsher penalties, including increased fines, longer license suspension, and possible jail time. As her case moves through the legal system, the consequences of her decisions behind the wheel, will soon be determined. [Music] [Music]
