it's on my birthday.
Catherine,
I've literally been out of town since
then.
Okay, Catherine,
you got pictures on that. You want to
cut me a cup?
Catherine, would you be willing to do a
voluntary field sobriety test?
Huh?
Honestly, I just want to die right now.
That's not going to happen. Okay,
Catherine, look at me. Catherine,
no. No matter how good you are, it
doesn't matter, does it?
Would you be Listen to me. Would you be
willing to do voluntary field sobriety
tests?
I'm anemic.
Do you know what that's like?
No, I don't.
You get dizzy just from [ __ ] being on
your periods. So, we can do that. But
they're voluntary. You don't have to if
you don't want to. Would you like to do
voluntary filter body test?
I would die.
Okay.
Give me a PBT.
Catherine.
Catherine,
would you be willing to blow in a
portable breath test? So, I know that
I'm not blowing in anything.
Okay. And you're not going to do
voluntary pills or body test either?
And I would, but it's it's just going to
[ __ ] me over more.
Okay. They're voluntary. If you don't
want to do them, I'm not going to for
you. You're not obligated to do them,
but I would like to do it to take the
the PBT so I know I'm not sending an
impaired driver back away from here.
Yeah.
You be willing to do that?
Yeah.
Okay. Thank you.
These guys anymore?
No, they clearly she she's good.
Okay. Thank you. See you.
So, it sounds like you're volunteering
to provide a PBT, correct, ma'am?
Yes.
Okay, perfect.
I didn't say I'm blowing anything.
Oh, that's what I asked you. No, I said
I'll do a test. I'm not blowing
anything.
The voluntary field sobriety test was
walk and turn, all that good stuff.
I told you I just drank alcohol just
before doing this. I'm not doing I'm not
doing that.
Okay. My understanding was you didn't
want to do the voluntary fuel or body
test, but you would blow in that. Are
you declining?
That was the opposite of what I said.
So, you will do the test.
Yeah, but I will not blow in that. That
is what I said.
Okay, that's fine.
I can do it. You can I can do it. You
sure? I can do it, but you're taking the
arrest.
All right.
What do you mean taking the arrest? Why
are you laughing?
If there if we need to go down that
route, okay, that's all that.
So So if I don't take it, there's no
arrest. I just go through the process.
We have to make we have to make a
decision. Okay. Cuz right now there's
there is the odor of alcohol emitting
from your breast.
You told me that you drank before this.
There's empty bottles, empty cans in
your car
and not and you crashed.
Don't let the word arrest scare you. So
that that's on me. Can you talk to
someone that is that has been through
all this? Yes. Thank you.
Okay.
Let me talk to him if you want to keep
working this real quick.
So, okay. What's your name, sir?

She's good friends. Okay. Where are you
coming from?
We were just having lunch.
It's 8:20. I'm

Okay. She told us, well, I watched her
crash. I watched her make a U-turn and
crash into that tree. I watched it, too,
so with that being said, She told us
that she drank before. She has drank
tonight. There's there's empty
containers in the car.
Okay. And she she caused a collision,
single vehicle collision. So we right
now we're doing an investigation for
DUI.
Okay.
So that that's where we're at right now.
Okay. Yeah.
So is there anything you can add to this
investigation?
Turn around.
Uh she just asked me to follow her to
work because she was afraid somebody was
going to be there and she wasn't.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay. In the time being, you give us a
minute. Let let us let us follow me when
I did a U-turn and it gave me like
we're going to be conducting an
investigation right now. So, please give
us a little bit of space, a little bit
of time. Okay. So, if you can just kind
of stand kind of a little, you can
watch. I don't care if you watch. I
don't mind you watching, but we do need
you guys to kind of not impede on this
investigation, distraction, anything of
that nature. Kind of just
I was asked to follow her to work
because she was worried about somebody
following her and she just said she felt
like somebody was following her.
Okay. So,
and we we'll investigate all of that,
but right now we're conducting an
investigation for DUI. So, I need you to
kind of just step to the side, not
distract her, not get in her way,
please. And thank you.

ignition to roll up cuz it's an
automatic.
Okay. Can you hang tight with the dog?
I'm okay.
Thank you. I just want to make sure
he's good.
Hey, what was your name, dude?

So like can you kind of [ __ ] run it?
Sure. [ __ ]
Okay. I'm stand on your side. Don't
start until I tell you to start. You
understand?
Yeah.
Okay. So stay in this position. Okay. So
when you're doing this test, you're
going to take nine heel to toe steps
looking down on your feet and counting
out loud. Okay.
Look at me. I'm going to show you. I
want to give you the best.
We're good here. If you guys want to
clear out, we have a lot too many here.
All right.
On that imaginary line, sorry, this line
right here. Continue to take nine more
steps. You're going to do a series of
small turns. Take nine more steps. Okay,
Catherine.
1 2 3 so on and so forth until you get

4 5 6 7 8 9
Is that it?
Oh, did I instruct you to test?
9 10 step.
Are you done with the testing?
Yes.
Okay. You got one more test. Okay. It's
called the one leg stand. All right. So,
one thing you need to show your test.
We're almost done. All right. Catherine.
I'm sorry. I can't I want her away from
my [ __ ] car. I cannot focus until
she's away from me.
John is with your dog.
I don't care. I want her away. She said
you my dog was fine and she lied. I want
my dog secured and I want her. I cannot
[ __ ] focus.
She's right here.
Would you like to continue with this
last portion of the test, Catherine?
Yes.
Okay. This leg, this portion is called
the one leg stand. So, once again, legs
together, arms out at your side. Okay.
Explain it and demonstrate the test. Do
we have a like an evidence bag or
something we can take to the window?
I think eventually if we do go 105 with
her, we'll let him handle the dog and
let him take it.
Um,
I'm thinking I haven't been watching
fields. I'm going to mute the point.
For some unknown reason, officers muted
their body cameras for 30 seconds and
then turned them back on.
Uh, I'm going to deal with him after we
can deal with her. Please,
put your hands behind your back. You're
under arrest for DUI.
Yeah, I asked you guys not to be right
there. Why can't they have a a simple
test where you guys were not there?
Okay.
So, if I would have done this, I would
have come to you live.
No, that's not how that works.
Basically, I was just trying to make
sure that you were safe to drive when
you got in the car accident. Okay.
Trust me, Jerry. You told me multiple
times you wanted to do it.
I just asked for them not to be in the
line of sight because I kept crying.
Okay.

Okay.
No, that's fine. I just I kept looking
at them.

reason for you to be laughing while

Not a proper test.
Hey, Catherine. What's your phone

Why?
Just for documentation.
Do I have to give it?
I would like you to give it.
Is it foreign? Like,
I can get it one way or another. We I

court to reach you if they decide to
prosecute the case. All right.
Seven. Thank you.
I already warmed up the machine for you.
Oh, dang. You're the man. Corporal.
Awesome. Thanks everybody.
Hey, Catherine, we're actually going to
move to a different room. Okay, I'll
walk you over.
So, this room that says BAC,
we're going to go back in here. All
right, that chair in there. You just
need to take a seat. This is the next
portion of the uh the process. Okay, so
there's some paperwork involved. We're
going to get through it. It doesn't take
too long, but like I said, since this is
your first DUI, okay, you're going to be
home tonight. All right. No priority you
right. I don't see your name in the
system. So,
am I right?
My kids off.
Don't say that.
I have a DUI now. Okay. I'm a single mom
with no daddies.
Okay. You're going to go home tonight.
For what? My kid's better off with his
grandma.
Okay. You don't get it.
Okay, Catherine, let's get started. All
right,
so I know I read this out, your
constitutional rights out to you in the
field, but I have to read it again. It's
just part of the process. Okay. You have
the right to remain silent. You have the
right at this time to an attorney.
Anything you say can and will be used
against you in the court of law. If
you're under if you're under the age of
18, anything you can say can be used
against you juvenile court prosecution
or juvenile offense and also be used
against you adult court criminal
prosecution if the juvenile court
decides you're to be tried as an adult.
You have the right to talk to an
attorney before answering any questions.
You have the right to an attorney
present during the questioning. If you
cannot afford to hire an attorney, one
will be appointed for you without cost
if you so desire. You can exercise these
rights at any time. Do you understand
these rights?
Yeah.
Okay.
So, I need a couple signatures as we're
doing this. Okay. So, I need you to sign
here.
Once again, this is just a
constitutional right. So, sign there.
Right here. This box right here. Yep.
Okay. And my understanding is that
you're willing to speak with me. Okay.
If so, sign right here.
Okay, this next part is the implied
consent warning for breath. Okay,
listen closely because this is
important.
Warning. You are under arrest for
RCW4661502
or RCW4661504

Number four, you have the right to
additional tests administered by any f

Okay. I didn't see that you have a CDL,
so I won't read that part to you. Okay.
I just got my license.
Okay. Do you understand what I've read
to you, ma'am?
Yeah.
Okay. I need your signature right here.
This box right here.
Okay. Will you now submit to a breath
test?
I'm I'm [ __ ] tomorrow if I don't.
Right.
I I can't answer questions like that. I
can only read this to you again.
So, if I don't,
I could lose my license for a year, but
if I do, even if I'm guilty, it's 90
days.
I can read this to you again.
Would you like me to read it to you
again?
That's not going to [ __ ] do anything
different. I didn't get my license for a
year because I was [ __ ] held back by
my m like I was
So, Catherine, let me read this part to
you then. Okay. You are now advised that
you have the right to refuse and that if
you refuse, your driver's license,
permit, or privilege to drive will be
revoked or denied by the Department of
Licensing for at least one year.
Okay.
Okay. So, how long if it says that I'm
drunk, how long is it as my license
denied?
So, you have you're going to get a copy
of a do hearing paperwork. Okay. So,
what how it works is you'll contact the
department of licensing. There'll be a
hearing and you can apply to get your
license back. Okay.
So, m no matter when I lose my license,
not necessarily. I I I can only read
this to you again. I you're the
questions that you're asking. I wish I
could answer for you, but I can only
read this to you again.
Does that make sense?
That being said, you can talk to a
lawyer and he can adise me.
You have a lawyer?
Yeah.
I'd like a lawyer.
Okay. I will make a phone call for you
and then I'll step out. You'll have a
chance to talk to the lawyer. Okay.
Yeah. Okay.
Am I going to get a lawyer tonight or
[snorts]
Do you know?
Hang on a second. I can call. You're
going to be on the phone with the
lawyer. Do you guys have the updated
information for the lawyer? Cuz didn't
that change recently?
Okay. So, the test is really simple. And
you need to take a deep breath like
you're about to blow up a balloon and
continue blowing hard until I tell you
to stop. Okay? You'll hear a beep as
it's going on. Just keep going until I
tell you to stop. Do you understand?
Okay.
Okay. Go ahead and grab the tube. Big
big breath and blow.
Blow. Blow. Blow. Blow. Blow. Blow.
Blow. Blow. Blow. Blow. Blow. Blow.
Blow. Blow. Blow. Blow. Blow. Stop.
Very good. That was perfect.
So, we're going to do this two times.
Do it. That was perfect. Do that same
thing the way you just did. Okay.
Is it really?
It has to like interpret the results.
So, it takes a little bit. M but all
things consider I appreciate you uh
you know being cooperative.
[snorts]
[snorts]
Mhm.
[snorts]

All right, one more time.
So, do the same thing you dig. Big, big,
deep breath like you're blowing balloon.
Blow hard until I tell you to stop.
Okay, big breath
and blow blow blow blow blow blow blow
blow blow blow blow blow blow. Stop.
Very good.
I think that's the new
Do I get any indication? Hm.
Do I get any indication?
You will. So, the the machine has to
think. You're going to get a copy of
your results. So, I'm going to get one
and you're going to get one. Okay. I'll
let you know where you're at.
[music]
How old is your kiddo?
Well, my mother is about 12.
How old is she or her?
Her son is seven. Seven. [snorts] Are
you close with your mom?
I'm not supposed to answer any of your
questions.
Okay. I'm just trying to get to know
you, so I won't ask you anymore then.
I'm a single mom and I feel like I'm
about to lose my son because of this.
So, I don't really want answer any of
your questions.
Okay.
Mhm.
No, I understand. You're going through a
lot. Okay. Trying to respect your
privacy.
What privacy? You're a [ __ ] cop.
[sighs]
All right, man. I'm going to give you
two things. Okay.
The first thing that you're going to get
is your request for DUI hearing. Okay.
So, like I said, we we what we do we do
the criminal piece. Okay. But there's
also the DO piece, the Department of
Licensing piece. Okay. So, I'm just
going to read this to you. Now, I need
to get a signature from you.
This is your notice that your Department
of Licensing intends to suspend, revoke,
or deny your license, permit, or
privilege to drive. You have the right
to request a formal hearing to contest
the suspension or revocation of your
driving privilege. The hearing will be
conducted according to chapter 308-101
of the WAC. For issues covered at the
hearing, refer to RCW4620308.
A non-refundable fee of $375 must be
included with your request unless you
qualify for financial assistance. See
financial assistance below. Your request
must be postmarked within seven days of
the arrest or within 7 days of the date
the notice is given. If your request is
not made within this time frame, you
have waved your right to a hearing.
Okay? So, I'll let you read everything
else. All right? So, essentially, that's
how to get a hearing so you can get your
license to drive back. All right.
Was I going to get that no matter what I
blew?
You were always going to get that. Okay.
So now that I've given that to you, I
need your signature here. This just
means I gave you this. Okay. Driver's
hearing request information was given to
the arrest arrested person. All right.
Go ahead and sign there. Right here.
Okay.
The next thing I'm going to give you is
your results. All right. So, right now,
you blew a 0.15, which is double the
limit. Okay.
I do what I drink, right?
Sure. I'm I don't want to ask you any
questions. I'm just letting you know if
these are the facts. This is where
you're at. Okay. This is for your copy.
Okay. We are good in this room. I'm
going to walk you back out to the chair
real quick. Actually, you're going to
deal with Corporal Haney over here.
Okay.
Yeah. Where's her property at?
Uh, it's in the
Did Big drop off a toe form for her?
Uh, yes. I think he did.
He did.
Uh, it's right here.
Tow form first.
All right. You good?
I'm good. Do you need me?
if you're not everything you need.
Okay, I'm just going to let her know
that I have ID.
You know what? My license
I [ __ ] pay her [ __ ] [ __ ] drive.
So I don't even want to hear it. You
have no idea.
All I do is
I can try and tell you
I'm not going to tell you anything
that's going to keep you here because
No, there's nothing going to keep you
here.
You're really telling me
daughter
because you're free to go. You're not
getting healthare. So,
all I can do is recommend please don't
do that. But I have no legal cause to do
that.
Okay.
You pass as soon as you can.
I see people
actually care
the defenders.
I
think
you know what I
accept that
[snorts]
mother
Christmas Eve
and uh
I lost custody. She lost custody of us.
But you know what?
She thought I'd be better off if she
never
come back tonight or what?
No, bro. Don't even
Don't even say something like that. I'm
just trying to I thought fingerprinting
was quicker than this.
I'm still alive. Yeah.
I'm just going to let her know right
now.
I'm just going to let her know I'm out
of here.
You can bounce back. You can get another
car. You can move forward from this.
It's just hard right now.
Hey, Catherine, I just want to let you
know in your property is also a copy of
your toe form along with the two forms
that I gave you. Okay.
What? It's a tow form on there. It's how
to get your car back. It's just
instructions there. Okay. You have your
results. You have your DO hearing.
Everything's with your property. Okay.
And then
what am I supposed to do with that car?
It's total.
I mean, it's still your car. Sure. But I
just want to let you know. All right.
But listen, all things considered, I
wish I hope everything works out for
you.
I should have died. I wish I died.
Okay. I wish that [ __ ] tree killed
me.
Okay, I'm going to go now.
Yeah.
Do it again. You
been here so many times. I can't help
but think you want to come back. I'll
gladly step aside for you, buddy. This
[ __ ]
only give us what's your phone. Why? I'm
just asking. Do I have to give it to
you? Why you get it? I'm just asking you
to give it to me. You know, I don't see
why I have to do Look, man, if the court
wants to reach out to you, somebody it's
just a phone number, right? It's it's
not private, confidential. I can get it.
So then she finally gave it up. She
goes, "Look, I'm not trying to be a
bitch." And I'm thinking to myself,
"Well, you're [ __ ] doing an A1 job of
it."
After they went out of their way to
catch your [ __ ] dog.
Holy [ __ ]
Was it a big
puppy?
A puppy. German Shepherd. Beautiful got
[ __ ] railed in a car accident. I was
literally at a red light and I'm go back
to Rose Hill Safeway. Somebody steal
[ __ ] Just thinking what I'm going to
do. Red light. She in front of me making
a U-turn. I watched it. U-turn, lose
control onto the sidewalk, boom, [ __ ]
tree. And I was like scared. I was like,
"Fuck
on the VTA."
And she gets out of the car just
screaming to her to calm down. Soon as
she starts talking to me, I'm like,
"Fuck."
And the dog jumps out the [ __ ]
window.
I'd be [ __ ] scared to see your nails.
[ __ ]
