I'M NOT A I'M NOT a bad person. I don't have a drug charges. I just want to go home. I would like to make sure that you're not intoxicated. That way we can confirm that that's not an issue, and then maybe we can just get you some traffic tickets and move on. But we've obviously got to deal with what's happened and the fact that I can smell alcohol coming from your breath, and I got to make sure it's only a little bit and it's not too much. Can I at least check your eyes? Will you let me do that? Just follow my finger. >> going through [ __ ] glass in my eyes, man. Well, that's what I wanted also check is to make sure that you're okay.

There was some other things that I was more concerned about. Oh, just stop. How much have you had to drink tonight? Is it just like one or two or three, or is it like nine or 10 or 11? I just want I just want to go home. That's not an option right now. However, your your level of cooperation is going to impact how quickly you get to leave. And I'll tell you that >> can leave right now. This is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. So, I don't get a phone call? Not right now, during our investigation you don't. Well, if you haven't done anything wrong, how come you won't even let me check your eyes? Why would you bust my window open? I told you already. All right, rescue's here, so you can talk to them. Is that okay? It's in the order of the inner corner corner. Your eyes look good. Can I wrap your leg up real quick? No. Okay. Have a seat. Right here in the car. I want you to put your hands off of me. They're unconstitutionally Look at me. I'm going to do a search of you, OKAY? >> I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. >> OKAY, WELL, I have to confirm that.

Do you want to Do you bring her in? >> Yeah, that's true. Yeah, let's do that. I'll just read her the warning to motorists right here. All right, so we are going to go to the Bloomington Police Department for DUI investigation. All right. This is called the warning to motorists. Right now, based on your driving, your actions, the odor of alcohol on your breath, your speech, I believe that you are impaired by alcohol to drive. Um you've refused to do any testing, so based on the evidence I have right now, you're under arrest for DUI. This is a warning to motorist which says what will happen to your driving privileges if you blow over the legal limit or if you refuse to provide a breath sample. So, subsequent to a defense for driving while >> Why would you do this to somebody who has no offense? Just because you don't have any criminal history doesn't mean that you like get to get off scot-free if you break the law. It's not like a get-out-of-jail-free card. You're driving intoxicated and you resisted. >> you broke my window. You broke the law. >> No, I broke a window. I didn't break the law. Okay. >> not a law. That is a traffic violation. Okay. Well, as part of the traffic violation >> a criminal. You You are being charged with crimes. >> things to me. >> Okay. And you drugged me out of my car. I'm going to read this. I'm not asking you I'm going to read this. And you can scream if you want. Subsequent to an arrest for driving while Do you understand what I read to you? No, sir. >> All right. Would you like to sign what I read to you? No, sir. Are you going to provide a breath sample? No, sir. Will you whip that up and do a refusal for me? Thank you. Deanna, why did that happen? Why did it not happen? Because it was a traffic stop. It wasn't It wasn't a legal stop. He said, "Please roll your window down, ma'am." I said, "Well, I can still talk to you through my window." Okay. What did you want? My license? I'll give you my social security number. I gave it to him 15 different [ __ ] times. >> We don't require that for a traffic stop, but then what happened? I don't know. Probably not. She's refusing to do it, so we don't have to do the 20 minutes. We can just do a refusal. For a record of refusal, and then I'll take her over to county and since we can't do If I obtain a search warrant for your breath, blood, and urine, would you abide by the search warrant? I think you don't have a legal right to abide to even obtain one. Let's say if a judge If a judge granted a search warrant If a judge granted a search warrant, would you listen to the search warrant and provide your breath, blood, and urine? I'm not answering any questions until I obtain a lawyer. I want representation, sir. I'm going to take you to county. It reeks in here. She's absolutely intoxicated. Oh, you can bring it back over here. He's going to do it. It's going to be a while. There's no benefit for you to hang out here, so We don't have to like wait 20 minutes. He can just do it now. If If that's okay. If you guys got somewhere to be, then don't worry about it. I'll get it done. Okay. He just needs the ticket number. Hey Deanna, I need you to understand something before we do this, okay? Okay. I'm going to walk you inside of the police department. You're going to be handcuffed the entire time. You're going to be in a bathroom that's going to have a closed door on it cuz I'm a male, but at the same time those handcuffs aren't coming off. Does that make sense? They're going to stay behind your back. Anything beyond that is going to be trouble for you. All right. Yeah. Hang on a second. >> Or is it this way? It's my other right. Over here. Yeah, all right. Choose whatever one. Like I said, I can't lose the handcuffs, okay? Let's go to the bathroom. >> get him away from me? Yeah, he's fine. Please get out. >> I'm sitting right here. Get away from me.
