Bro, just arrest me. Put me in jail. >> Under the influence of alcoholic beverage and or chemical or >> On March 1st, 2024 in Palm Springs, Florida, officer Alshshire stopped a driver for extreme speed reckless driving on PGA Boulevard, triggering a field sobriety investigation that ended in a DUI arrest and four criminal charges. Hey, driver, turn the car off. Yeah, he stopped. >> Hey, can you turn the car off? >> Driver, turn the car off. Stay in the car. Stay in the car. Do you speak English? >> Yeah, man. >> Okay. Are you all right? I'm officer with Palm Beach Police. Do you have any guns that have weapons on you? >> No. >> Can Can I see your driver's license? >> Yes. >> No weapons in the car. >> No weapons in the car. >> All right.

You just activated the alarm on your keys. That's why I was going off. >> Guard is 492. >> All right. The reason I'm stopping you is because you were driving at an extreme rate of speed coming westbound on PGA. You're swerving all over the road. All right. And you violated a traffic control device when you came up with the Fairchild in PGA. You went from the right lane all the way to the left and then you stopped over the stop bar. And then as soon as the light turned green, you accelerate it again to a high rate of speed. Any reason why you're driving like that? Are you okay? Are you experiencing a medical emergency? You okay? >> Yes, I am okay. Officer, >> you're fine. Okay. And also when I turn my >> What's your name? >> Officer Alshshire. >> Alsh. >> Yes, sir. >> First name? >> I don't give out my first name. All right. Also, when I turn off when I turn my lights and my sirens on, you stopped and then you accelerated and you jumped the curb and you looked like you locked your right tire up and you drove from where my car is stopped all the way here. Where you coming from, Jordan? You don't want to talk to me? Listen, man. And I'm in like the same profession as you and so I'm trying to cooperate as well. >> That's fine. You're in law enforcement? >> Yep. >> You're in law enforcement. Who do you work for? >> Brinks. >> Brinks is not law enforcement, sir. >> Oh, I'm actually classified as law enforcement in the state of Florida. >> No, you're classified as a security guard. That's why you have your G license right there. You're not You're not >> I've got my D and my G license. So, >> off. All right. Stop being the >> Okay. Do you have your registration? >> Cooperate with me. All right. I'm trying to cooperate with you. >> You have it cuz you have it. >> So stop. So stop. >> Okay. Cuz you haven't provided me your registration insurance yet. >> Just stop. >> Jordan, where are you coming from tonight? >> No. >> Okay. Do you want it from Mil Parker? >> Jordan, how much have you What's that? >> What? >> I'm still waiting for the registration. Lower your voice. >> I'm right here. I'm like 2 feet away from you. Not even. Have you had your registration insurance for me? >> I have two. >> Do you not want to tell me where you're coming from? >> No. Okay. How much have you had a drink tonight? >> Richard Horta born in 62. They're both valid here. >> Hey, do you just go just stop reaching around cuz you're obviously not able to find it. How much have you had to drink tonight? Jordan, >> you really want to know, brother? >> That's what I'm asking you. I don't ask questions I don't want to know the answer to. >> Bro, I'll be honestly blunt with you, bro. >> Be honestly blunt. >> Bro, I'm going to be very very very blunt. Bro, I just Bro, I just went to college over in Gainesville, Santa Fe, transferred to UF, came down here, moved down. I'm over here like on the Woody trying to like >> hang out with girls, bro. Went to a beach day, bro. Literally had a great time. Got my shock. Got bro driving. I'm over here thriving. I'm over here like, damn, I'm about to get stopped. >> All right, Jordan. So, I'm going to stop you right there. I don't care anymore about that. I'm asking how much alcohol you consume tonight. >> Uh, so we went to uh what was it? Twisted Trunk. >> That was like two IPAs. I'm a big IPA guy. >> Okay. You know, >> you like that higher alcohol or volume. >> All right. So, wait, let me ask you something. Am I arrested right now? >> No, you're being detained pursuing to a reckless driving investigation. >> All right. That's what that's why I'm stopping you. All All of what you were doing is constitutes misdemeanor reckless driving in the state of Florida. That's why you're being detained and you're not free to go. So, >> under Florida statute section 316.192, reckless driving is defined as operating a motor vehicle with willful or want and disregard for the safety of persons or property. Multiple direct observations of high-speed lane changes and a traffic control device violation establish this charge without ambiguity. Renv United States 517US806 from 1996 confirmed that any observed traffic infraction provides constitutionally sufficient grounds for a vehicle stop. The legal basis for this traffic stop was unassailable from the very first second. The roadside detention that followed fell squarely within Terry v. Ohio 392 US1 from 1968, which permits a brief investigative stop when an officer possesses reasonable, articulable suspicion of criminal activity. The observed driving behavior exceeded that threshold entirely. The subject's admission of alcohol consumption, combined with his observed driving conduct, provided reasonable suspicion to open a DUI investigation under Florida statute section 316.1 93, which prohibits operating a vehicle while impaired to the extent that normal faculties are affected. >> All right. So, like I said, so you had two IPAs, a twisted trunk, how long ago was that, >> dude? >> Okay, listen. I want you to do a few exercises for me. Some roadside standardized exercises. >> Let's do it. >> Okay, hold on. Hold on before we begin. All right. >> Yeah. >> All right. Do you suffer from allergies or anything? >> Nothing. >> You know, are you are are you tired right now? >> Not at all, man. I just want to get home and rest. >> Perfect. All right. Listen, do you have any medical conditions? >> 6 a.m. >> Hold on. I got So So you don't have allergies and you're not tired right now? Okay. >> Not at all. >> Got it. Not at all. All right. Listen, do you have any problems with your eyes that are not corrected by glasses? No. >> Nope. Okay. So you don't need contacts or anything like that to drive? Okay. >> And do you have any problems walking in a straight line or balancing on one leg? Not at all. >> Not at all. All right. >> Trust me. Let's go. >> Well, these aren't tests, right? They're they're exercises. All right. They're not tests, like I said. >> Very good. >> These are exercises. All right. Do me a favor. Just go and face the car. I'm just going to patch you down. Make sure you got no guns on you. Nothing like that. Just obviously for our concern because we're going to be conducting an investigation. >> Fairly close proximity. Why is the back of your shirt wet? >> My shirt? Oh, beach. >> Beach. >> The beach. Okay. Here. I'm I'm just going to I'm just going to guide you to the front of my car over here. All right. >> We're good. Yes, sir. >> All right. Just stand right here. >> Just stand right here. >> Don't fall. >> Hey, you got him. Just Just over there. >> I'm not. >> Just Hey, just come over here. >> I'm really not though. >> All right. You feel comfortable in your shoes? >> Yes. >> Perfect. All right. Let me do a favor. Keep your feet together with your heels together. Stand right in front of me. All right. Feet together just like this. Arms down by your side. All right. Listen. I'm going to check your eyes. All right. Jordan, I want you to keep your head still and follow the stimulus with your eyes only. Don't move your head. Do you understand? Hands down by your side. This is important that you listen.

So, like I said, I want you to keep your head still and follow the tip of this pen with your eyes only. Don't move your head. Do you understand? Join. >> Wait, wait, wait, wait. What's your name? >> Officer Alshshire for the third time. Keep your arms down by your side for me. Okay. >> All right. Do you understand the instructions? >> I do. >> Okay.

Do you want to do the rest of the exercises? >> I want to know the ex. >> Okay, we're going to do the next one. All right, just stay right there. Just stay right there. All right. >> All right. >> Jordan. >> All right. Listen. Do you see this yellow line right here? The tape we just put down for you. Okay. Do me a favor. What I want you to do is I want you to stand on the yellow line. Go ahead. >> All right. Place your left foot on the line and then place your And then place your right foot in front of it with your right heel touching your left toe. Keep both of your arms down by your side. Jordan, I didn't tell you to begin yet. Can you just please go back to the the starting of the line? Thank you. Again, what I want you to do is I want you to place your left foot on the line, your other left. There you go. Your left foot. And then place your right foot in front of it with your right heel touching your left toe. Keep both of your arms down by your side, meaning down by your thighs. There you go. Do not begin the exercise until I tell you to. Do you understand? Nice. Max look just like this.

Left foot on the line, your other left, and then right foot in front of it with your right heel touching your left toe. So, put your right heel in front of your left toe. Jordan, do you know your left from your right? >> Hey, has you shut the up? I'm looking at you real quick. >> Okay, listen. >> So, yeah. >> Hold on. I'm going to go. >> Hold on. Stop. Stop. You You telling me to shut the up as I'm trying to explain the voluntary >> right >> exercise instruction leads me to believe >> Hold on. leads me to believe that you don't want to participate in the in these exercises. All right. Of your own free will. Do you not want to participate in the exercises? >> I will. >> You will? Okay. So, please >> participate. >> Okay. So, let me >> I'm sorry. >> Let me explain the instructions. Okay. So, like I said, I want you to place your left on the line like there is and then place your right foot in front of it with your right heel touching your left toe exactly the way I demonstrated. Keep both of your arms down by your side. Don't begin. Just stay just like that. All right. When I tell you to begin, I want you to take nine heel totoe steps on this line. Turn around keeping one foot on the line and then take nine heel totoe steps all the way back. It's going to look just like this. All right. One, two, three. Jordan, I'm stopping on three, but you're going to go all the way to nine. Do you understand? >> Right. >> On your ninth step, you're going to stop. You're going to keep that front foot on the line, and then you're going to turn around by taking a series of several small steps to face the other way. Please keep your hands down by your side in the starting position. >> I was like, "Oh, dude, it's >> Can you keep your your hands down by your side?" Yes. Let me show you. All right. >> No, no, no, no. It was uh ROTC. I was in RTC and >> it's it it's not an about face. All right. But I'm going to show you what it's going to look like. >> You are an about face. >> It's not that. Let me show you. Keep your arms down by your side. Okay. >> Yes. >> Stimulating. This is your ninth step. You're going to stop. You're going to keep the front foot on the line. >> I know this. >> And then you're going to turn by taking several small steps to face the other way. Do you understand? It's not an about face the way I just showed you. All right. Then you're going to take nine heel toto toe steps all the way back. While walking, I want you to watch your feet at all times. Keep your arms down by your side, meaning by your thighs, and count your steps out loud. Jordan, once you begin, do not stop the exercise until it's been completed. Do you understand? >> Extension. >> Nope. Nine steps. Whatever it takes to get to nine steps. Okay. Heel to toe. Do you understand the instructions? Hold on. I didn't tell you to begin. All right. To go back. I need you to tell me yes or no if you understand. >> Yes, >> you do.

Keep your arms down by your side >> like this. >> No, nothing like that. I'm going to show you. But you do. >> All right.

Okay. >> Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. >> I used to deal with bank and march. Let's go now. >> The officer administered all three NHTSA standardized field sobriety tests. The horizontal gaze nestagmas, walk and turn, and one leg stand. These tests are voluntary under Florida law. A driver may legally decline participation without facing automatic criminal penalty, a fact every driver should know before sitting behind the wheel. The subject produced eight out of eight possible clues on the walk and turn and multiple indicators across the HGN and one leg stand in Birfield v. North Dakota 579US438 from 2016. The Supreme Court confirmed that roadside field sobriety tests do not implicate fifth amendment compulsion concerns, reinforcing their evidentiary value. Under Florida Statute Section 316.1932, any driver lawfully arrested for DUI is subject to implied consent. A first refusal of a post-arrest chemical test triggers an automatic 12-month administrative license suspension, a consequence that operates entirely independently of any criminal court verdict. Postarrest conduct generated two additional charges: resisting an officer without violence codified under Florida Statute Section 843.02 02 and criminal mischief under Florida Statute Section 806.13 apply to obstruction of a lawful arrest and willful damage to property. Both charges carry distinct elements requiring independent proof at trial. The subject's claim of law enforcement status based on Brinks employment was legally incorrect. Florida statute section 493.6401 classifies armed security personnel as a distinct category from sworn peace officers. Claiming professional equivalence with law enforcement carries no legal weight and critically damaged the subject's credibility. The subject was ultimately convicted and sentenced to one day in jail, 12 months of probation, 75 hours of community service, 6 months with an ignition interlock device, and mandatory attendance at an anger management course. Officer Alshir receives a B+. The stop was initiated on solid legal footing and the field sobriety investigation followed NHTSA protocol with precision and genuine patience. The officer properly articulated the legal basis for detention, maintained composure through a deliberately uncooperative encounter, and executed the arrest within established constitutional and statutory parameters. One measurable lapse occurred when profane language was directed at the subject during a factual dispute over employment classification. That exchange was unnecessary and inconsistent with deescalation standards, though it did not constitute a constitutional violation and had no material effect on the legal outcome. The subject, Jordan, receives a D. The D UI and reckless driving conduct placed other motorists in direct danger. Misrepresenting Brinks employment as equivalent to sworn law enforcement was both legally inaccurate and strategically counterproductive, undermining credibility at the exact moment cooperation was most valuable. The subject acknowledged his predicament repeatedly, then consistently made choices that worsened it. Five concrete lessons emerged from this encounter, each grounded in the specific statutes and case law that governed every moment of this stop. These are practical takeaways for any driver who may face a similar situation on the road. Lesson one, field sobriety tests are voluntary. In Florida, declining standardized field sobriety tests carries no automatic criminal penalty. Every driver should know this before getting behind the wheel because a traffic stop is not the time to learn it for the first time. Lesson two, professional courtesy is not a legal right. No statute obligates an officer to extend preferential treatment based on employment affiliation when that affiliation does not constitute sworn law enforcement under state law. Invoking it without legal standing only damages credibility. Lesson three, comply first. Contest in court. The fourth and fifth amendments are most effectively exercised through the legal system, not through roadside confrontation. Resistance adds charges. A courtroom is where constitutional protections are properly vindicated, not a roadside at 2 in the morning. Lesson four, post arrest behavior is fully recorded, and directly shapes legal outcomes. Conduct inside a patrol vehicle is observed, documented, and regularly referenced by prosecutors during charging decisions, bail hearings, and sentencing. There is no private moment after handcuffs are applied. Lesson five. Implied consent is a decision point that exists before the stop, not during it. Under Florida statute section 316.1932, refusing a chemical test after a lawful DUI arrest triggers administrative consequences that a favorable trial verdict cannot reverse.
