You feel like you can walk, okay? >> I can walk, okay. >> Okay, cool. So What? >> I just I apologize. I'm sorry, I'm a little self-conscious, I have anxiety, but of course I will >> It's okay. So, what I'm going to have you do is you're going to stay right there. I'm going to demonstrate the start position for you. I want you to imagine a line in the ground in front of you, okay? I want you to put your left foot on the line just like this. Okay, put your right foot touching heel to toe with your left just like this. And keep your hands down by your sides. I want you to stay in that position the entire time while I demonstrate and explain this test to you. Do you understand? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, when I tell you to start, I want you to take nine heel-to-toe steps down that imaginary line in front of you. Once you reach step nine, turn around with a few small steps and take nine more back. It's going to look like this. I'm going to do three for demonstration purposes. You will do nine though, okay? One, two, three. Keep your lead foot planted, turn yourself around just like this. One, two, three. The only difference is I want you to do nine in each direction, okay? Some things to note while you're in this test in this position, keep your hands down by your sides, look down at your feet while you're counting your steps out loud, and don't stop the test until you fully complete it. Do you understand? Okay. You may begin. Yeah, no problem. Why don't you take a step to your left so that you can walk a little further down that way, okay? >> Okay. Thank you. >> So, let's take take two steps backwards so that you have a little more room, okay? So, get back into that start position. Just Okay. Okay. Okay, are you hurt after that test at all? No? You said no? What? >> Physically I'm not hurting. >> Okay, what do you mean by physically you're not hurt? Are you hurt at all? What do you mean by that? >> I just I I just have some anxiety right now, so I apologize. >> Okay. Got you. You can stand at the back of your car again. So, what I'm going to have you do for the next test is put your feet together just like this. >> Yes, sir. >> And put your hands down by your sides. I want you to stay there the entire time while I demonstrate and explain the test to you. Do you understand? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. So, just stay Keep your hands by your sides. When I tell you to start, you're going to raise a foot of your choice approximately 6 in off the ground. You're going to keep that foot level and parallel to the ground just like that. >> Okay. >> Not like this, not like this, just level and parallel, okay? I'm going to demonstrate using my right. You can use left or right, okay? >> Okay. >> When I tell you to start, you're going to lift that foot. You're going to look down at the raised foot and you're going to count out loud 1,001, 1,002, 1,003 all the way until I tell you to stop. Okay, it's going to look like this. 1,001, 1,002, 1,003. Just wait until I tell you to start, okay? So, it's going to look like this. 1,001, 1,002, 1,003 all the way until I tell you to stop. Now, if you happen to put your foot on the ground while you're in this while you're in this position, I want you to pick your foot right back up and count from where you left off. That'll look like this. 1,001, 1,002. 1,003, 1,004. Notice the entire time I have my hands down by my sides. The entire time my knees are straight and not bent. Okay? And my foot is parallel, not like this. Parallel. Any questions for me? Do you have any questions? >> No, I do not. >> Do you understand? >> Yes. >> Okay. You may begin. Look down at your foot and count out loud. >> 1,001. >> Looking down at your foot. >> 1,001, 1,002, >> Look down at your foot. Keep going. Looking down at your foot. All right, you stop.

Um, do you have your driver's license on you, miss, by any chance? >> When I drove, yeah, I better have a license. >> Okay, that makes sense. I always just ask cuz >> You never know. >> Yep, you never know. So, I don't have to read you this entire form verbatim. Um, I'm going to summarize it for you. If you wish to read it, you can read it. >> I'll summarize it. >> Yep, so pretty much what this form is saying is that she was arrested for DWI and you are signing for her acknowledging that you're going to ensure until she's deemed sober that she's not going to drive a car. Typically, I tell people it's usually for the next 12 hours. Um >> She's going to now. >> Yeah, I understand that. Um but I have to explain it to you. So, basically, what that means is you are to you are taking the responsibility away from the police department saying that, "Okay, we're not going to hold her for 12 hours here in a jail cell until she's sober." Um and that if for some reason she gets behind the wheel of a car and she causes property damage, kills someone, injures someone, or some other some other liability occurs, the police department is no longer responsible. All that liability is shifted to you. That is what it's saying. Do you have any questions about that? Do you understand? If you understand, can you sign the X for her for me, please? Then I'll bring her out to you, all right? She's been extremely kind to me, too, just so you know. >> Well, that's really special. >> She's been >> [laughter] >> very very kind. Okay, I will be right back, all right? Yes, ma'am. >> Where's the car? >> Car is impounded at Brother's Towing on Branch. It has to be impounded for a DWI driver. >> Okay. >> It can be released 12 hours from >> Is there any damage? >> From 8:10. No, no damage. >> Oh, okay. >> Nope. Okay. Miss, I'm going to real quick, I'm going to write the the tow company down for you. So that you have the tow information. Did you give the passenger tow information already? >> No, I didn't give him any I didn't >> Okay. >> The car's towed? >> Yeah, it has to be for a mandatory 12-hour hold. They're at your boat, I believe. >> Yeah, they're at the boat. >> You have to come back here to get a release paperwork. You can come at about 8:00 about 8:00 a.m. in the morning. Okay, this is the tow information. No, unfortunately, we can't, okay? So, I'll walk you out now. This is Hold on, 1 second. This is This is your stuff. Oh, no, I appreciate you being so nice and cooperative. You're going to go this way? To left or right? Out the door that says exit, okay? It's okay. All right. Right here, out this door right here, miss. >> It's okay. I was pointing at him. >> Please don't kill. >> I'm not going to kill you. >> It's okay. All right, listen. Best Best of luck, okay?
