The title Okay. >> So, I kind of have to wait for him to do that on my side. But the the last officer that pulled me over, he said that it's okay. Everything's going to be okay as long as I get that title within a month. It's been about, you know, half a week. So, I I guess I still have my more time from that officer that put me over. But he said that I would have to face, you know, charges of seven different citations as long as I get that title from that guy. So, I'm I'm literally trying because I have court on the 24th.

It's for my Camaro. And he said that that's not right. I shouldn't have switched it from my Camaro to this car. But he also said that it's okay if I keep it that way until I get my registration because the guy that sold me the car back in Dimming, he gave me a new he said that I'm going to have to file for a lost license plate or a missing license plate, but then the people searched for any uh stolen cars. my car didn't come come back as a stolen car, but he said that that guy that sold me the car is gonna have to file for a new title on the on behalf of me.

I drank 3 hours ago. 3 hours ago, officer. And that's not a lie. >> Okay. >> I drank 3 HOURS AGO. I DID ADMIT THAT. THAT THAT THAT reckless driving and me deciding to GO IN CIRCLES WAS A TERRIBLE MISTAKE. But if you guys >> dude, it's not alcohol. It's not the reason I did that. The reason I did that was because I had nothing. I didn't I don't go to parties. I don't go to college dorms. I don't go to any of that. I decide to come here maybe once every month and and drift a little bit. Maybe drift one or two times. And I get that. That was a terrible mistake. But I can't ruin my life because of this. Officer, if you look up my if you look up my student ID number, I am a 4.0 to know students. I get great grades. I get perfect attendance. I never miss class. I don't have one absence. I don't ever do anything wrong. But today, I just wanted to have fun without getting laced. Cuz the last TIME I WENT TO A PARTY, I got laced and I ended up jumping through my apartment window. I cut myself. You can SEE THIS GUT RIGHT THERE. I cut myself. So, I I didn't want to do any more parties. I wanted to do this on my own this time. I didn't want to get lazed. >> Okay. But you're still you're still 18 years old with alcohol in the vehicle. You can't be doing that. >> You're not of age to be drinking in the vehicle. >> Okay. That's why we're we stopped out with you. You were doing donuts like you said recklessly. Okay. That's enough for us. >> But I'm not >> And you didn't want to do the test >> 3 hours ago. But my sister, she was a I would listen to a criminal justice student. Okay, officer. I'm not trying to disobey you guys. If you want me to get out the car right now and do that test, I will. But I just don't want to do that. I don't want to do that because my sister always told me to wait until there was a lawyer present. That's all I've been taught not to trust you guys. I do TRUST YOU GUYS, BUT I'M listening to my sister. >> That's all I know. >> We're not going to call We're not going to sit here and wait for you to call a lawyer to come out here just to do some tests. Okay? We're not going to do that. You guys don't you guys aren't looking at this, right? I'm not that type of student. >> You can ask the You can ask the university what type of student I am. I've had many incidents with them. I just got raped 2 months ago. I've been going through a whole bunch of incidents this whole entire year. And I wanted to have fun one single night. I thought it was okay to have fun one single My therapist told me to have fun one single night. >> Okay. And I understand that you want to have fun, but doing it with alcohol on the vehicle and putting yourself in danger and then this vehicle right here next to you. >> No, I don't. We don't do the mobile breathalyzers. We have to do it at the station, but you already said no. So, >> yeah. >> Listen, you're 18 years old. I understand you want to have fun and you don't do all these parties and whatnot, but you can have fun responsibly, okay? You can do it other ways where you're not getting yourself in danger or others in danger. Okay? There's other ways to have fun. You made your choices tonight and that's fine. You'll just have to live with the consequences. Go to court and take it from there. Okay? Do you have any questions? Just relax. Banging your head on the on this little glass is not going to make it any better. You're going to give yourself an injury. We're going to have to go to the hospital. Okay? We don't want that. We just want to take you to the jail, book you, and then like I said, you see the judge in the morning or later on today. >> Me, relax. Hey, relax. Hey. That's just part of the process. Relax. >> Relax. >> The incident ends with an arrest decision after the young driver refuses to complete the test and repeatedly falls into a state of panic. What initially seemed like reckless driving for fun quickly revealed a much more complicated situation, showing how officers had to manage multiple issues at once. Signs of alcohol use, scene safety, the detainees mental state, and onseen care for her dog. It also serves as a clear reminder of how impulsive choices behind the wheel can lead to serious consequences, especially when alcohol is involved.
