And so then we were trying to help him get the door open. I pulled in the driveway. These people that live here, they came home, picked up their son cuz they had dropped the power went out and went on. I will say when we were trying to help like help him open, you could hear like the glass clinking around in the car. And then after we were here for a while, he took his kids backpack, got back in the car, put stuff in the backpack, and then gave his kid the backpack and sent the kid across the street. >> You're all set.

So, I'll just >> No. So, if you blow, you're not suspended. If you don't blow, you are. But, if you blow, you have to stay until you see a judge in the morning, but you will still have a valid driver's license. If you don't blow, you have to get a blood draw and then you just go home when you're sober. You wouldn't have to see a judge, but then your driver's license is automatically suspended. >> For a year? >> Yeah. >> But that that could get worked out in court. >> No, so that suspension is through the Secretary of State. That has nothing to do with the courts. >> But if I blow and I'm high, then I stay here all night. >> Yep, then you would go you would stay until you see a judge. >> Okay. >> But you would still have a valid driver's license. >> [snorts] >> That would be wrong. >> You want to do Is your driver's license in your wallet? >> Yes, I do. >> Okay, I just need to see your stuff. >> After I blow that breathalyzer you just heard 30 seconds.

It's there's empties in the back of the truck. I do not physically drink and drive them. Was I over with them? Probably. >> [sighs] >> There we Just make sure to keep your mouth nice. There we go. >> How is .07 to .196? >> How was what? >> The first one was .07. >> So, these are the two tests the the two samples you gave .196 and .2. >> The first one said .07. >> Here, I'll show you what That might have been like the blank testing. Let me show you when I print it off. You saw it on the screen? >> Yeah. >> Oh, are you looking at this one? That's the internal test to make sure like um that this is calibrated to where it's supposed to be at because the legal limit that it's testing against is a .08. >> Yeah. >> So, that's the internal test. Your tests are the subject result one and subject result two. Does that make sense? And then they're both [snorts] going to be a little bit different like the length of time and the amount of liters of breath it took. And then it goes back to doing So, this is saying that yes, it's calibrated correctly and then these are showing These zeros are because it's not detecting any alcohol within the machine. Does that make sense? >> Yeah. >> I'm allowed to drink in Ohio, but a lot of times here they just >> Central Florida times have a special holiday breakfast buffet. >> Some sort of alcoholic beverage within the bladder is probably what the goal was going to be anyway. >> [sighs] >> Not that I don't care about that.
