yep all right so Lego of course thank

stuff I need to reach
this is just a lot for me so I apologize
for crying so much this a
lot listen to me very carefully yes sir
you have the right to remain silent you
have the right at this time to an
attorney anything you say can and will
be used against you in a courted law I
have to read all of this I know you're
over 18 but just bear with me if you're
under the age of 18 anything you say can
be used against you in a juvenal court
prosecution for juvenal offense can also
be used against you adult prosecution if
the juvenal Court decides that you're to
be tried as an adult okay you have the
right to talk to an attorney before
answering any questions you have the
right to have an attorney present during
the questioning if you cannot afford to
hire an attorney one will be appointed
for you without cost if you so desire he
exercise these rights at any time do you
understand those rights so I'm curious
because I I understand uh the rights
right but at the same time I would
think were like Reds and so like say it
again I was taken into custody before
these rights were read to me right yes
so my I'm I'm not
unintelligent um sick yes but not
unintelligent my understanding is that I
understand that like I was arrested but
at the same
token I also have understanding like
those rights are supposed to be read
through the floor of the rest is that's
not correct that's in correct how can
you take cies my let me explain it to
you you stop for a second I'll expl I
don't want I don't want you I'm like you
let me explain it to you curious okay so
the only time somebody has to me read
their rights and I actually read you
your rights in your field and you told
me you didn't understand okay so I
actually read them to you when we were
out there right after I put you in
handcuffs I I read you I pulled that
card out of my pocket and read it to you
and you said you didn't understand
okay understand the only time rights
have to be read is when somebody is in
custody and they're going to be asked
specific questions about why they are in
custody okay doesn't have anything to do
I could arrest you not ask you a single
question and never read to your rights
because because I didn't ask you any
questions but because we are going to
talk about what happen I've never been
in situation so I'm curious that's it's
not like you know I'm just curious with
all that in mind though with what I read
you do you understand what I read
you
explain next question I have is will you
submit to the breath test
s seal your mouth around that and just
blow like you're blowing air and throw a
strong and just keep going till I tell
you to stop okay so Lean Forward here
I'll hang on to it like I said scoot
forward scoot up your you have water
first my mouth is so dry I can't let you
drink anything or do anything before we
do this remember that's the whole
15minute thing so we have to do this
right now okay so big deep
breath blow blow blow keep
okay blow hard you have to seal your
mouth all the way around it keep going
keep going keep going keep going
okay okay listen listen to me it has to
be one continuous breath keep doing that
it's going to screw the system water mou
so dry okay big deep breath big deep
breath water first I cannot let I've
already explained to you okay why you
can't I have water how you can't have
any because then we have to wait 15 more
minutes I rather wait 15 more minutes I
even want like my if I have to wait 15
more minutes I'm going to put it down as
a refusal okay why I'm not refusing you
I'm you are you're playing games with me
right now this is what needs to be done
right now I'm not playing games sir I'm
saying my mouth is really drying I get
that I cannot give you water right now
before this test if we don't do this
right now it's going to go down as a
refuser take a baby the reality that is
a reality right now it's not I'm not
saying no I'm saying I'm not this way
that should not prevent you from be take
a big deep breath and blow you just
doing it a second ago
so are you going to you told me you were
going toich like I understand you J from
the fairest indiv day I'm not one with
people I'm just saying my mouth is
really dry that's what I'm saying so
this this is your last time I'm going to
ask you are you going to submit to this
I'll try big deep breath as deep as you
can take and blow in there till I tell
you stop okay all right
because we played around so long there
machines having to go
through you can't
water you can't water this so just get
past that okay
let's try this one more time literally
just a couple minutes away from getting
in there so I'll hang out to it big deep
breath blow hard keep going keep
going okay here you can't breathe in
during this you have to just keep
blowing out for as long as you can okay
big deep breath blow
hard you're not
blowing now you are keep going keep
going
all
right you're you're not able to do the
test so I'll do the
again the machine doesn't allow that so
here's what we're going to do here's
what we're going to do so here's what
we're going to do I'm going to have you
have a seat back in there get your glass
of water okay I'm going to write a
search warrant for your blood we're
going to go pull blood that's what we're
going
to we're we're past that try again I'll
do it again sir we're we're past your
Gams I'm not trying to play games with
you sir okay I've explained we're done I
didn't put it as a refusal you're just
not able to complete the test I sorry
we're past that so we're going to go
down and going to war your blood I I'm
not I don't like that can I'll do it
again please we're past that I don't
want to take my blood I'll do it again
can I blow again please I think I should
