My friends live at the end and they were going to rent the place and so we're going to move their plane. >> Do me a favor. Step out of the car. Turn off the vehicle and step out. >> Yes, sir. >> You have any guns, knives, drugs, bombs, anything crazy in the car. >> Okay, ma'am. I'm talking to her, not you. Step over here. >> Yes, sir. >> Alcohol impaired driving contributes to nearly onethird of all traffic fatalities nationwide. With over 12,000 deaths in a single year, deputies are legally obligated to investigate signs of impairment to prevent potentially deadly outcomes. >> How much you had a drink today? >> I had a a drink at coming. Well, two >> drinks. Okay. >> Yes, sir. >> Let me explain something. There's somebody who's been behind you. >> Stay in the car. >> That's right. >> Shut the door right now and stay in the car. A car got behind you. They've been behind you the entire time. You have been reported as all over the road. I then pull into here. You pull you Hold on. You pull out of Tom Thumb without even paying attention to oncoming traffic. Then you pull into here, make a wide right-hand turn. You're driving in the Hold on. You're driving in the grass, >> right? >> I light you up all the way at the top of the street. Then you continue to drive down the street. >> You know, I I know that that doesn't mean >> stay in the car. Shut the door now. Just stay right here. The passenger's actions now create a separate criminal offense. Interfering with a lawful DUI investigation or discarding potential evidence constitutes obstruction under Florida law.

You're sluring your speech. I can smell it on you. Your driving pattern, >> whatever you need me to do. >> Are you willing to do field sobriety exercises? >> Okay. Stay right there. >> You see this blue light right here? >> Yes, sir. >> I want you to follow this with your eyes and your eyes only. Do not move your head. Do you understand? >> Yes, sir. >> Wherever this blue light goes, your eyes are going to follow. Do you understand? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. All right. Not your head. Keep your head straight. Just your eyes and your eyes only. Okay. Yes, sir. All right. >> That's not my problem. >> That's my problem right now. >> I just Allan here is her and it's >> Don't worry about her. You're worried you're worried about me because right now >> Yes, sir. >> Right now the the criminal investigation is on you. >> Okay. >> Okay. All right. >> She's already got her own issues. >> All right. Field sobriety tests are not pass or fail exams. They are investigative tools used to identify impairment clues in balance, coordination, and attention. One key test, the horizontal gaze nestagmas, looks for involuntary jerking of the eyes, a known indicator of alcohol impairment. These observations help deputies establish probable cause for a DUI arrest before a dangerous situation turns into a tragedy. >> I stopped the car. I'm trying to talk to this young lady. We bring her back here. We're talking. We're having a conversation. This one's throwing evidence out of the car. >> I've told her like three or four times to stop. Finally, I just detained her.

It's in your face. You're >> mean to me. Meaning me. >> I'm not worried about you being mean to me. It's about following instructions. >> I know. I'm trying. I'm just scared. >> It's in my mouth. >> It's in your mouth. >> Thank you. >> Did you eat something? >> No. >> Okay. >> There's nothing. It was just when you could drug test. >> I'm not about to drug test. I'm asking cuz I don't want you to die in the back of my car. That's why I'm asking. >> Okay. Okay. You will see a judge first thing in the morning. >> So my kids get to see a family. >> Your kids what? Who's with your babies right now? >> Dad. >> Their dad.

Come where? >> You want a cigarette or not? >> Please. >> Come here. >> Yeah, let me do that. >> Well, you you got yourself all the way on there. >> How do you want me to? >> You got yourself all the way over there, didn't you? >> Prior to transport, the passenger began showing signs of distress, including panic and claustrophobia. The deputy remained calm and took steps to help deescalate the situation, even offering her a cigarette to help her regain composure. While not required, actions like this demonstrate professionalism and the importance of maintaining control through calm and measured response. >> My hair mean I don't know what you want me to do with your hair. >> Just move it. >> Um, listen. >> Thank you. >> Sorry. >> And at the same time, obstruction. How many times did I ask you to stop trying to get out of the car? How many? Three times. Finally on the third time when the bottles came clanging out the car and you could see you tossing from the car. >> Yeah. That's whenever I came over and pulled you out of the car and put you in cuffs. >> And then when I'm asking you to get out of the car and trying to put you then I'm trying to put you in cuffs. You're trying to pull away from me. >> That's kind of where we're at. You're out of the car right now. Your handcuffs are in the front. You have a cigarette. If you cause me any issue on the way to the Key West jail, the cuffs are going back behind both y'all's backs. You're probably going to get hobbled, which means I'm going to tie your legs together so you can't move at all and stick you in the seat. >> Please don't do the seat. >> Dela, we're past that point. >> I didn't do anything. >> Okay, I've already explained it to you like four. I've already explained it to you. >> Overreacted. >> How does overreacting? What? Overreacting. It wasn't even dealing with you. I was dealing with your driver who >> and you're not listening to me. Now you're making me question my safety because I'm trying to talk to your driveway and I'm having to focus on you while she's here talking to me. >> How hard is it to stay in the car to not move?

You're running your mouth. I'm trying to talk to Elizabeth. I'm not worried about you. I'm worried about why your driver is drunk and driving the way she is. Okay. You see what I'm saying? >> I am so good. I have two babies. >> This is It's stupid. It's stupid. This is dumb. >> So sad. >> Go and have a seat for me. I'm going to leave the cuffs in the front instead of put DUI investigations are governed by clear legal standards.
