So, let's make sure we run them through all the tests and everything. I just contact the sergeant and let him know so we can let the hotel know. >> Okay. Now, I'm going to administer a set of tests to determine whether or not you are impaired. My evaluation will based on how well you follow my instructions and whether or not the tests are performed exactly as I demonstrated them. Do you understand? >> Of course. >> And obviously, you're wearing glasses. So, for this test, I'm just going to have you take Okay. Sitting right here on the hood. You don't have any other contacts in or anything, right? Okay. So, I'll have you do, we'll just stand. I feel like this is pretty Do you want to stay? Oh, you don't need. All right. Okay. So, what I'm going to have you do is just stand with your feet together, arms down at your side, and then you're going to be following my stimulus. The stimulus is going to be the tip of my pointer finger here. Okay? So, you'll just follow this and then with your eyes only, not with your head. Okay? All right. Go ahead, shake it off for me. Perfect. Can you put your glasses back on? Thanks, guys. Okay. >> Just going to be directly in front of you as you can see right here. Okay. So, you're going to stand. Sorry. >> I'm just going to take them off. Yes. >> You want to take them off? >> Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, we're going to use an imaginary line since we don't have one. Okay. Fair enough. So, we're going to pretend that there's a line coming straight out from the front of your left foot. So, you're going to place your left foot in front of your right and just imagine a straight line going straight ahead. Okay? >> So, you're going to go ahead and uh place your left foot in front of your right foot and you're going to put your arm against your sides. Okay? And you're going to remain in this position while I do the rest of the instructions. Okay? So, when I tell you to begin, you're going to take nine heel to toe steps from this position. I'm going to demonstrate three for you. Okay? And you're going to count the steps out loud. So, it's going to look like this. One, two, three. Again, it's going to be nine, but you're I'm only demonstrating here. >> Once you get to the very end, you're going to keep the uh front foot that's planted there, and you're going to do a series of small steps back around. Okay? So, it's going to back onto the line. Okay? And then you're going to proceed back another nine steps. So, it's going to look like this. One, two, three. So, go ahead, get back in that position. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 Okay. All right. So, the next test that we are going to go ahead and do is one leg stand. So, um for this one, again, if you want to take off your shoes, you're more than welcome to. So, you're going to go ahead and just stand with your feet together, arms down at your sides like this. Okay. And then just stay in that position until I tell you to start. Okay. When I tell you to start, you're going to raise one leg, either leg of your choosing, approximately 6 in off the ground. Your goal is to keep it parallel or flat to the ground. Okay? So, you're going to choose either foot. Keep it 6 in. Arms down at your sides. You're going to look down at your foot and you're going to count um in a series like this 1,00 1,00200 3 until I tell you to stop. So, just remember to keep your arms at your side at all times and keep watching your raised foot. Do you understand? That's right. >> Okay. And then which foot are you going to be raising? >> My right foot. >> Do you have your work phone on you really fast? Cuz my work phone's in the car. So when uh feet back, put your feet back together. Okay. And then when you raise your foot, that's when we're going to go ahead and begin the test. Okay. >> Yes, ma'am. Okay. >> Ready? 1,001 10,002 1003 1004 1005 106 1007 1008 10090123 14 1 2017 So you're going to go ahead just keep going keep going till I say you stop. Okay. >> Okay. 2019 2020. >> Okay, now you're good. Go ahead and relax. You can put your shoes back on. >> Thank you. >> Well, I'm going to go ahead and just um You said you don't smoke or doing that, right? >> Okay. Well, I'm going to go ahead and I'm just going to perform the other test while we're already at it. So that way you have the full >> full thing. Okay. >> So, what you're going to do is um take off your glasses for me on this next one. >> So, what I'm going to do is I'm not going to touch you. We're going to look at my stimulus again. >> Okay. >> Okay. And then I'm gonna trace a circle around your face. And then I'm gonna bring my finger to the bridge of your nose, but I'm not touching anything. Okay. So, the goal is essentially to have your eyes crossed. So, we're gonna see. Do you have any eye issues? Anything like that? >> No. My left eye just a little. I mean, right eye. >> What What's wrong with it? Like you just can't see or like >> Yeah, it's just much weaker than my left eye. >> Okay. No worries. So, you're just going to fall asleep. All right. And so then what I'm also going to have you do is you're going to just stand with your um I'll face you. Stand with your feet together. And then you're going to go ahead you face me. Sorry. You're going to point your point your fingers out at me like this. Now flip them back over like this. Okay. Now bring them straight down. And then what I'm going to have you do is I'm going to give you a series of of commands. So when I say left, your left pointer finger to the tip of your of your nose. I say right. So I'll say left, bring it up. Immediately bring it back down. I'll say right, right, bring it back down. But you are going to have your head tilted back and your eyes closed a little bit. Okay. >> So yeah, just tilt your head back. Close your eyes. Okay. Left, right, left, right. Okay, good. Very good. Okay. So, one last test that I'm going to do is it's going to be the same position essentially. Can I use your phone one more time, Frank, please? Sorry. Um, so you're going to stand again with your feet together, arms down at your side. So, I'm uh going to start a timer and what's going to happen is you're going to just put your head back. >> Um, close your eyes again, and you are going to count to what you believe to be 30 seconds. Okay? It's not, you don't have to count 1,00 1, 10,000. However much you believe to be 30 seconds. Okay? So when you think the 30 seconds is up, I want you to go ahead and tilt your head forward and say done for me. So that way I know to stop. Okay. >> All right. So go ahead and just close your eyes. When you tilt your head back, I'll start. >> 30 seconds. >> Okay. So I just have one last thing. If you still want to commit uh if you still want to do the PT, like I said, it's preliminary breath test. It is not something that can be used for, but it essentially just tracks the alcohol in the body cuz Yeah, that's essentially what it does. Just make sure that you're not like over. >> Okay. Are you still willing to consent to it? >> Um I mean so just my my clarity >> what we've done now I that that's what the test was. No. >> So so that is uh one of the tests but I'm a TSO so that means that I carry around a a breath test. So basically if some if it basically helps us eliminate impairment and stuff. Obviously I know you drink but just because you drink doesn't necessarily mean that you are over the legal tripping like that. So that just kind of gives us an idea. Um but it's completely voluntary. It's all up to you. It's can't be used in court. Um so it's up to you. If you don't want to do it, you don't have to do it. >> Well, then I would prefer to wait. >> Okay. You don't want to do it? Okay. >> Okay. All right. Just one second. Let me go ahead. You can stand right here. [Music] >> Put your hands behind your back, sir. Hold together like you're clapping. >> Go ahead and spread your feet for me. Thank you. >> As of right now, you're going to be arrested for because we believe you're robbed. >> Okay. Is there anything out of the vehicle that you want to go with you? >> Just my cell phone. My my wallet. >> Just your cell phone and your wallet? >> Yes, sir. >> The one with the badge and all that? >> Yes, please. >> Okay. And everything in the wallet has your name on it. Is yours? >> All credit cards and stuff? Yes, sir. >> The suspect is Edgar Flores. He faces a misdemeanor DUI charge and a status hearing is scheduled for January 12th.
