Her SECOND DWI Arrest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lSE8WDbbaM Around 4:30 PM on August 18, 2022, Officer Derek Paul with the Lawrence Township Police Department responded to a call of a woman in an altered mental state at Central Park. Upon arrival, he noticed that the woman was leaving the park in a 2012 Mazda, so he activated his emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop. The driver did not immediately stop, and the officer engaged in a pursuit for a few minutes before the driver finally stopped on Ewingville Road. He advised dispatch of his location and made contact with the driver, who was identified as 35-year-old Jasmina Alic. As he began to interact with the driver, he saw that there were 2 small children in the back of the vehicle and he noticed indicators of impairment. Jasmina told the officer that they were coming from Central Park in Lawrence Township and that they were heading home. EMTs were called to evaluate her as well as her children, because one of her children appeared to have sustained injuries to the nose in the park. The officers asked her if she had consumed any alcohol, and she admitted to probably consuming 2 drinks in the hours prior. Based upon their suspicion of impairment, Jasmina was offered an opportunity to participate in field sobriety exercises. They started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test, but they were unable to complete the test successfully because Jasmina kept moving her head. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test. During the Walk and Turn test, Jasmina was unable to stay in the starting position and did not walk heel-to-toe as instructed. The third exercise was the One Leg Stand test, and Jasmina was unable to raise her foot in the proper fashion or maintain her balance. Based on her slurred speech, the odor of alcohol on her person, and her inability to adequately complete the field sobriety exercises, Officer Paul placed Jasmina under arrest for driving under the influence. A search of her vehicle yielded a half-empty bottle of Svedka vodka. Her vehicle was impounded for a mandatory 12-hour hold under John’s Law. Officer Paul subsequently transported Jasmina to the Lawrence Township Police Department for processing. At police HQ, Jasmina was read her Miranda rights along with the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators, and she agreed agreed to submit breath samples. Her Alcotest results indicated a BAC of 0.25%, which is more than triple the legal limit of 0.08%. After Jasmina was processed, records indicate that she was turned over to the Mercer County Correctional Center and subsequently released pending her court appearance at 11:48 PM that evening. Officer Paul issued her the following motor vehicle summonses: Operating under the influence, reckless driving, careless driving, DWI within 1000 feet of school, open container of alcohol, and delaying traffic Court records indicate that Jasmina was also charged with 3 criminal counts in Lawrence Township. Her criminal charges include 1 count of eluding after instruction to stop in motor vehicle (2C:29-2B) and 2 counts of endangering the welfare of a child (2C:24-4A(2)). Less than 1 month later on September 12, 2022, Jasmina was arrested again for drunken driving in Ewing Township, New Jersey. --------------------------------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).

All videos and case documents were obtained pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. (P.L. 2001, c. 404). Defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty. The New Jersey Supreme Court has previously affirmed in Salzano v. North Jersey Media Group, 993 A.2d 778 (2010) that “The fair-report privilege reflects the judgment that the need, in a self-governing society, for free-flowing information about matters of public interest outweighs concerns over the uncompensated injury to a person's reputation.” This video advances a compelling public interest. The summary of events was based on records that are “open to public view through open access to public records” as defined in the Salzano case. In Ramos v. Flowers, 429 N.J. Super. 13, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court has also affirmed the right to film law enforcement interactions.
