REAL POLICE BODYCAM footage captures a critical moment during a DUI investigation when winter conditions complicate a standard field sobriety test. This bodycam video documents the challenges officers face when conducting roadside testing in harsh weather environments. In this police bodycam footage from December 28, 2024, Santa Fe deputies attempt to administer the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test to Pamela Moreno after stopping her vehicle for a stop sign violation at the intersection of W Alameda Street and Entrada. The test, which tracks involuntary eye movements that become more pronounced with alcohol impairment, requires the subject to follow a stimulus—typically the officer's finger—with their eyes only. The footage captures the officer's repeated instructions: "Just your eyes. Okay, now look at my finger. Keep following my finger." Moreno immediately expresses discomfort with the weather conditions, stating emphatically: "It's fucking cold." This complaint, recorded on bodycam, highlights a common challenge with roadside sobriety testing in winter months. Despite the temperature concerns, the officer maintains focus on the test: "Keep following my finger." When Moreno appears distracted, the officer redirects her attention: "Keep following my finger, Pamela, please. My finger, Pamela. You're looking at my eyes. Look at my finger. Look at my finger." This correction, documented on bodycam, suggests potential divided attention or difficulty following instructions—both potential indicators of impairment. The officer then attempts to motivate compliance by addressing Moreno's comfort concerns: "Pamela, you gotta follow my finger, okay? The faster we can get this done, the faster I can potentially get you in a warmer position, okay? So keep following my finger as you were." This strategy, captured on bodycam, demonstrates how officers must balance proper test administration with practical considerations like weather conditions. As the test continues, the officer maintains consistent instructions: "Please. Same thing, okay?" This professional persistence highlights the methodical nature of standardized field sobriety testing despite environmental challenges. Moreno was ultimately arrested for aggravated DUI and booked into the Santa Fe Adult Detention Center following this roadside investigation, which began with a simple stop sign violation. This police bodycam footage provides valuable insight into the real-world challenges of conducting standardized field sobriety tests in uncomfortable winter conditions, capturing both the procedural requirements and human factors that impact roadside DUI investigations.
