>> Can you just Officer, can you just tell
me what you're reading me? Or something?
>> Yeah, this is the Attorney General's
standard statement for driving while
intoxicated. Um it's just I have to read
this to you by law, okay?
>> Okay. Mhm.
>> You have been arrested for driving while
intoxicated, N J S A 39:4-50.
The law requires you to submit samples
of your breath for the purpose of
testing to determine alcohol content. A
record of the taking of the breath
samples, including the test results,
will be made. Upon your request, a copy
of that record will be made available to
you.
After you have provided samples of your
breath for testing, you have the right,
at your own expense, to have a person or
physician of your own selection take
independent samples of your breath,
blood, or urine for independent testing.
If you refuse to provide samples of your
breath, you will be issued a separate
summons for the refusal. A court may
find you guilty of both refusal and
driving while intoxicated.
If a court finds you guilty of the
refusal, you will be subject to various
penalties, including license revocation
of up to 20 years, a fine of up to
$2,000, installation of an ignition
interlock, and referral to an
intoxicated driver resource center.
These penalties may be in addition to
penalties imposed by the court for any
other offense of which you are found
guilty.
You have no legal right to have an
attorney, physician, or anyone else
present for the purpose of taking the
breath samples. You have no legal right
to refuse to give or delay giving
samples of your breath.
Any response from you that is ambiguous
or conditional in any respect to my
request that you provide breath samples
will be treated as a refusal to submit
to breath testing.
Even if you agree to take the test, but
then do not follow my instructions, do
not properly perform the test, or do not
provide sufficient breath samples, I
will charge you with refusal to submit
to breath testing.
I repeat, the law requires you to submit
samples of your breath test breath for
testing. Will you submit the samples of
your breath?
>> Yes.
>> That's we got to wait about 15 minutes
before we can take your
breath sample, okay?
>> I'm sorry.
>> We have to wait about 15 more minutes
before we can take this sample of your
breath.
>> You cannot give you water until I until
I Afterwards I will give you as much
water as you want.
>> Okay.
>> All right.
>> Um what's the
purpose of waiting, sir?
>> Uh so it has to make sure all the
alcohol in your body is you're not
burping anything up or nothing's coming
up to skew the test results.
>> and officer, I admitted I had, you know,
a drink or two tonight.
>> Yeah, I understand.

test.

when the machine tells me. So, I'll just
tell you I want you to take a deep
breath
and blow into the mouthpiece with one
long continuous
>> The last test?
>> Continue to blow until it says I am
done. So,
easiest way to explain it is this is
like blowing up a balloon. So, you take
a big deep breath.
I'll give you I'll be using a fresh
mouthpiece
um for every test.
>> How many are you doing?
>> Uh we need two good samples. So, nothing
bananas.
Um but you'll just take a big deep
breath
>> [snorts]
>> and then I'll give you the tube, but I
have to hold it, you can't. I know it
sounds silly, but it's just
the way it is. And then you'll just blow
into it
um like you're blowing up a balloon for
as long as you can.
>> Okay.
>> Yep.
>> Yes, sir.
>> You just got to wait a few
>> Yeah.
>> So this will be an out patient. You put
your lips right around that and then
just keep blowing as long as you can.
But I just have to wait for the machine
to let me know
and it'll prompt me.
Now let me re-state what I said.
>> Mhm.
>> I want you to take a deep breath and
blow into the mouthpiece with one long
continuous breath. Continue to blow
until I tell you to stop. Do you
understand the instructions? All right.
Go ahead and take a big deep breath.
Go ahead.
