During my years as a law enforcement officer here in Florida, I've heard plenty of people play plenty of cards. My mom's a retired judge is one that just does damage to the entire family. >> So, what happened? >> So, it's >> And you are being recorded. >> Okay. So, um she rear-ended me. >> Okay. >> And I got out of the car, asked for uh insurance info, can't find it. I I hate to say it, but I feel like she may be under the influence. She's smoking in her car. I got a little kid in the car. I'm I'm like pregnant. >> Okay, I I understand her trepidation. She's she's not wanting to get somebody in trouble. However, she's got a kid in her car. The the allegedly impaired woman has a kid in her car, and she has a bun in the oven. So, this is uh not a time when you should feel sorry for somebody for for telling the police uh about what they did. >> How's it going? >> I know. >> I know I'm going to get arrested. >> You're not going to get arrested, dude. >> I don't want I >> You're not going to get arrested. Can I see your license, registration, proof of insurance? Just so you know you're being audio and video recorded, okay? >> There's nothing I hate more than when parents don't correct their kids when the kids are saying it I'm going to be arrested. Like, how about you as a parent step up and say, "Well, no, that's not what the police officer's here to do. Not deal with you, they're here to deal with me. I made a you know, like something." >> So, what happened? >> I don't I don't know. It seems like a bigger deal than it should be, but it's been uh >> Cool, what's a bigger deal? I don't know what happened. >> I don't know, either. >> You don't know what happened? >> I mean, she said I rear-ended her, but I don't see like any damage. >> Well, you still may have bumped her. >> Do you see anything? I don't. I honestly don't. I don't know. >> How much have you had to drink today? >> Not any. Not a lot. >> Okay. >> [laughter] >> We have a few issues here. Uh first of all, it gets back to the driving. The driving indicates that she bumped into somebody in the rear, so her reactions are slowed at a minimum. And she's very confused. She is slurring her words. And he asked her like how much have you had to drink? And she's like not a lot. So she's admitted to drinking. Like it's it's like inevitable at this point. >> is not a lot? >> I had like two Bloody Mary's. >> All right, you got me. I know. What's >> Sir, let's pull over to the >> No, no, you're not starting this car. >> I won't. >> Oh, I am glad she thought better of that. I'm glad she listened to what he said. Do not do not put that car in drive. >> have you had to drink today? >> Not a lot. Like two Bloody >> is not a lot? >> not. >> How much is not a lot? >> I've had like two Bloody Mary's. >> You've had like two Bloody Mary's, and that's it. But it's only 3:41 in the afternoon. When did you have these Bloody Mary's, I guess would be my next question. >> Mary's? What time did you have those? >> Earlier today. Like way before I ever came to pick him up. >> Okay. >> So Please like >> What What time was that? What time was that? >> At like 10:00. >> 10:00? >> I work from home. >> Okay, so she works from home and at 10:00 a.m. she had two Bloody Mary's. I mean, alcoholism is an issue. That's pretty early to start drinking. And if that's if she's even being truthful, remember it's it's 3:31 in the afternoon. I don't think she's being truthful. >> You want to do some voluntary field sobriety tests to make sure you're okay to drive? >> Uh I don't know. I feel like I should call an attorney only because my mom is a retired judge and I I don't love police officers or trust police officers. >> Okay, that's that's a good time to drop that. When you've when you've had a few Bloody Mary's at 10:00 in the morning and it's 3:42 and you're still slurring your words and you've rear-ended a pregnant woman and you got your kid in the car, that's the perfect time to share with the world that you don't trust police officers. That's a that's a good thing. And try to invoke your mom being a retired judge as some kind of get out of jail free card. >> in the process is when you'll get the chance to talk to an attorney. So, it's either it's a yes or a no whether you want to do voluntary field sobriety test. >> But, like there is no damage to your car. What is she reporting? There's no damage to your car. >> What's your What's your husband's name? What's a good phone number for him? >> He's never going to let me see him again. You realize that? >> He's my mom. >> Yeah, yeah. >> So, that phone number is >> Honestly, probably won't get taken away from me. >> Okay. Inflicting even more emotional damage on this little kid. You're You're You're going to get taken away from me. It's just It's an emotional plea to save her own hiney in front of this officer to a kid, a little bitty kid with a with mush for brain right now. It's It's insane. >> If you If you keep If you keep talking to him like that, I'm going to take you out of the car and I'm going to put him with a female officer that we have here. >> Like it's like a couple >> Hey, but can I get a good phone number for him and don't be Don't be scaring your son. >> I'm not trying to scare my >> Well, you're doing That's what you're doing, okay? So, >> I'm going to like >> bring his phone Can you bring >> Please don't tell him that I'm trying to scare my son. >> Like I love him more than anything. So, the fact that you are trying to make it seem something other than that is >> Well, I just I'm sure you want to blame the cop for that, but if you loved him more than anything, you wouldn't be allegedly sloshed at 5 at at 3 whatever in the afternoon in the car line to pick him up and put him in the car and drive with him. >> You wrote it down exactly what I said. So, the exact and then you're [laughter] telling me and the fact that you're telling me that I'm [ __ ] because uh and you when it's exact number I gave you. you. Yeah. >> She loves her child more than anything and she has no problem going on a tirade with obscenities right in front of that little kid on a police officer. >> [snorts] >> Hey listen, she's calling him I think right now. >> Good. >> Oh okay. Hopefully you get through. >> Somebody Oh man, if she calls the husband, that's even better because then the husband can hear the condition she's in instead of having to trust the officer that nobody trusts. >> Hey um so, your wife has been involved in a collision. Everybody's okay. Um she's not in any condition to be driving and so I am looking for someone to come pick up your son. Yeah, and I don't want to do anything until you come pick up your son cuz he's already, you know, crying saying that he doesn't want to, you know, go to jail. >> Um one question. What um >> [snorts] >> I mean, it sounds silly to ask, but just for documentation purposes, um what is it that led you to believe that she might be um under the influence of something? >> Well, I mean, she's not under the influence of something. Her >> Okay. >> Her judgment is like I saw her coming out of the parking lot. She was driving and then I hit her in the She was She was not paying attention. There was an issue She had a uh >> Mhm. >> my car and her and then the person was like >> Let me know in the comments if this is the bigger violation. This is like a life violation. There's no law for this, but if you're in the car line and you're stuck behind somebody who's staring at their phone or confused by the road and it starts backing up, that's that's a huge violation. You don't let the You You don't allow space in the car line. >> Well, um now that we're at this point in the conversation, um I actually was when you your collision occurred, I was parked down the street attempting to contact her about a 5 minutes prior hit-and-run that occurred for these same circumstances. So, anyway, so if this was already a um developing thing. Um I'm just bummed that it is what it is and that she actually was able to make it to the school prior to us catching her. >> Wow, so think about that. The um the the that officer that's conducting was conducting another hit-and-run investigation invol- involving the same car. They were just waiting down the road for her to get onto the, you know, onto the road to pull her over. >> Mom, I can't talk anymore. The officer is right here. Do you want me to talk to him for me or do you want me to answer his questions? Yeah, you can talk to him for me. >> need to I don't need to I don't need to talk to her. >> Yeah, you >> I'm not going to talk to her. >> She'll answer your questions. >> I'm not going to talk to her. >> Well, she's a judge, >> She'll understand why I'm not talking to her. >> Yeah, I'll put you on speaker and and you can ask him whatever you would like to. >> She's not only a judge, she's an adult. So, she understands why the officer wants nothing like I don't need to talk to the to your mom. You I'm dealing with you right now. You're old enough to handle yourself. You have a driver's license. >> Can the officer hear me now? >> Yeah. >> Is it likely uh >> Oh my god, I can't believe you. Oh my god, they >> What's that? >> What's that? Is it likely that she will be arrested? >> I'm not saying anything in front of the child. >> Oh, I will be. >> The the the judge, the retired judge, is rational. She's like, "Oh, that's fine. Yeah, like, okay, yeah. I understand why you're saying that." The daughter is like, "I absolutely will be." >> Because I am intoxicated and rear-ended another vehicle. >> "I am intoxicated and and rear-ended another vehicle." That's a great statement for the body cam and for her mom to hear. >> you just Okay, so that's that's a good point on the retired judge's part because she's not acting as a retired judge here. She's >> [laughter] >> she's not representing her as an attorney, she's representing her as a mother and she's telling her shut up. Stop talking. >> So what I'm going to have you do Just have you stand in front of your car. No, come on. You you can take them off. Come on. I need you to step out of the car. I can't. >> I just want to point out to all of you naysayers in the comments all the time, there's a retired judge who was a prosecutor, I believe, at one point and is an attorney and is advising her daughter, her family member, you can either take the field sobriety exercises cuz all I ever read in the comments is never do those field sobriety exercises. That's a personal choice. That's a completely personal choice. I don't give legal advice in here. My advice to everybody normally is how about you not drink and drive. >> Do you want to take the voluntary field sobriety test or not? >> If I take it voluntarily, they're going to what? Ask me to walk a straight line? >> We're done. >> No, we're not done. >> You're under arrest for DUI and you are being audio and video recorded. Do you understand that? We're not going to play this. >> Okay, thank you. >> And just to let you know, you are under arrest for DUI and you are being audio and video recorded. Do you understand that? Okay. Oh, okay. Come on over here. >> Okay, remember >> that. He has no right to this car. It's sitting in the middle of the road. Do you want it towed? >> Tow it to my flat. >> Or would you rather have him do something with it? >> No, can you tow it to my house? >> No, we don't tow it to your house. That's not how this works. It would go to the tow yard. We don't want to. I don't want to, but there's no parking on this road. >> What are you going to do with it? What's his usual what? >> my fault. I'm not [snorts] going to I'm not here to give you advice, okay? >> You. Like, can you not just be a >> I'm not >> Yeah, it's all his fault. It's all his fault. You chose to drink Bloody Mary's at 10:00 in the morning and be this uh in this condition at 4:02 in the afternoon with your kid in the car. All his fault. >> Yeah, so when >> If it was my daughter, yes, you would be dealing >> they would be dealing with it, not me. I wouldn't even be standing here right now. >> his co-worker, hey, honey, his daughter. If this was her his daughter's car, what would you advise her to do? >> Not drink with uh >> [laughter] >> That was not the answer she wanted to hear, and this was the answer he was going to give. >> [laughter] >> Do you have somebody that can come pick up the car like pronto? >> Yeah. >> Who? >> Anyone. My mom. >> Where does she live? >> that you just called. >> We just asked you. You didn't want him to come. >> Yeah, my ex-husband that you just called. That you just said he has no right to this car. >> So, it sounds sounds like to prevent a tow, she says that you can move the vehicle. Are you okay with that? Would you like me to stay with you? >> You want to stay here with >> Can I hang out with you? I'm just going to move the car over into the parking lot. Um so, was there an actual accident involved? >> Um this was the second accident that she was reported to be involved in. I was actually within 10 minutes, really. >> She reportedly had rear-ended another vehicle at another location and then took off. >> Oh my god. >> Took off apparently to the school here. >> What's her blood alcohol level we're talking, you know? >> Say that again, I'm sorry. >> Blood alcohol level? >> Uh if in my 10 years of experience, she's going to be pretty heavy. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, she's going to be pretty heavy. Um I mean I I didn't even stand within 8 ft of her. The car has the odor of it. Yeah, um totally. So >> Thank you guys, appreciate it. >> Absolutely. [ __ ] you, buddy. I'm going to let you and your dad get out of here, okay? And I hope you have a great rest of the day, all right? If you need anything, you know where to find us. >> Okay, I'm going to go ahead and read some stuff to you, so I need you to >> I'm in this car. >> pay attention. >> Yes, yes. >> So, you have the right to remain silent. You have the right to this time Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to an attorney before answering any questions. You have the Hold on. You have the right to have an attorney present during any questioning. If you cannot afford 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 your rights? >> I am an attorney. >> Okay. Do you want to answer my questions? >> You knew that. You knew that, too, right? >> I know. Answer my questions. Do you understand your rights? >> I knew that. Yeah. >> Do you understand your rights? Yes or no? >> No, my right to having an attorney. >> Yeah, talk to your attorney. >> Absolutely, I understand that. >> She She thinks she ate with that. Now, she's acting like a 16-year-old kid making faces. She's got to call her mom to handle all of her business. >> I would like an attorney and I would like to use my fingers to find one on my iPhone. Either that So, if you guys want to keep being mean to me, I'll be a right back. >> I'm not trying to >> want me nice I'll be nice, but if you want to be I am an attorney. My mom used to be a prosecutor, she was a judge. I know my rights and I'm not going to be treated like [ __ ] >> [laughter] [gasps] >> Oh boy, I hope mom is proud watching this. I I'm sure she's not. The devil's nectar is a very very evil thing and it makes people say things that they don't mean and it puts them in dire situation. >> his lawyer number in your phone? >> I do. Yeah, let me look him up real >> [snorts] >> Hi, that's for attorney Amber. >> Yeah. >> I asked her if I could call an attorney and she said no. He didn't let me call which is who I work for. But I he hasn't responded. Is there anyone else I should call besides you, obviously? But um this is like really crazy. >> Where's the officer saying you're at you're at >> I don't know. Hi. >> Hi, so what >> He wouldn't give me his number. >> He's not giving her an opportunity to do the BAC, but we're trying to get her preliminary first. >> He's actually calling back right now, so let her talk. >> So even her lawyer said, "Yeah, just go ahead and take the breathalyzer." Like lawyers, by the way, you know, everyone thinks that they have this magic wand where they're going to be like, "Uh he's my lawyer said no." That's that's generally your decision. It's not necessarily the lawyer's decision. A lot of times they're going to tell you don't take the test, don't do the field sobriety exercises. But there are also times when they're going to say, "Just do it. Let's get it over with. It's pretty obvious where you are right now, like what state you're in and it would be easier to just let's get this ball rolling and get it over with so we can mitigate it so we can, you know, kind of get the charges down a little bit." >> Um were you submitted to a breath test yet? So there's a bunch of questions here. Do you want to answer these questions? >> I don't think I can with my hands behind my back like >> No, I'm going to I'm going to read them to you. Do you have any physical impairment? >> She doesn't She can't answer the questions with her hands behind her back. Look, I'm just asking for a verbal answer, not sign language. >> You're not nice. You haven't been nice this entire time. So, you don't have to take my handcuffs off. Put me in jail cuz you're mad at me. And that will all be on record on the video right there cuz you can't handle it cuz you're mad at me for not answering your little questions. >> No, I don't care if you don't answer these questions. >> That's right. >> Doesn't Doesn't hurt me. >> No, well, it's well whatever this video is saying. And you get my VA. Yeah. Cuz you don't know if I'm taking a Xanax, but I'm not a fun person. So, >> You want to say you're not >> You're signing. You said it for 3 hours. You have >> No, he's told >> [laughter] >> He's told her the truth. First of all, it's it's not even 5:00 yet. So, they haven't been together for 3 hours, but he's told her the truth and she's saying you're just saying I'm a bad person. So, if you perceive that to be the truth, that's your truth. >> All right. Going to blow into this. Don't suck in. Just blow out. Just a slow, steady, even flow air, okay? >> So, just try and like take a deep breath in and out. >> Just slow, steady breath out. Just don't blow into the machine, though, okay? No, that's not a good sound. You want to hear that high pitch. There you go. Keep it just like that. As long as you can, keep it going. Keep it [singing] going. You're almost there. Keep it going. You got it. Don't stop. You're good. >> Good job. >> There you go. Well, I hope you and your wife never get divorced. And that if you do, neither of you never go down and social interaction and if you do, maybe you'll end up here and then maybe you'll have a little more empathy because you're kind of >> You want to know your results? >> No. >> No. >> What is it? No. >> She doesn't want to know her result, >> [laughter] >> but the first question she asks is what is it though? >> What is Do you know what the legal limit is in the state of Washington? >> .29 >> Okay, what would you guess you're at? >> I don't know. >> Okay, I don't know. >> I don't want to guess. No. Maybe you could tell me. >> .268, .277, .251, .261 >> Yeah, that's pretty bad. There were four readings. She had to do that four times. You know, the video is edited so that you only saw the one, but we do more than one breath test reading so that there's no question about whether the the machine was correct or incorrect. >> For what? >> You know? >> No. >> Did you check your person? All right, now I'm going to have you step in there. >> Yeah, please. I did already. >> I'm going to search your person. No. >> I already did. >> I'm going to search your person. >> Can you just watch her do I'm fine. It's just like the >> A little bit taller, okay? >> Yeah. >> All right, I'm going to put this still on here, okay? >> Yeah. Yeah, you guys see that? Can I just step under it? Oh, no, you can't. >> Oh, okay. Let's say something happens and then we get in a collision or something. >> Yeah. >> You don't want to >> And then I'll see you. >> Yeah. >> Kidding. >> Hey, it's America at the end of the day, right? >> Why was I judged? Like I don't >> Locally or >> I I should probably not talk about it, right? Cuz like >> She's flirting with the new cop that's out of the picture here. And also, she's a little bit more relaxed and a little bit more free because she's dealt with. You know what I mean? She's she's been hit with the reality that like, hey look, you're over the limit. Just get past it. >> Everything Is everything recorded? >> So >> So, so my body cam is right here. So my person I'm opposite where you see things being recorded, okay? >> yeah. Uh I'm going to put my >> So, you're not going to like hurt me, right? Cuz you're a police officer, so you have to be safe. >> Okay, so that's the camera. Subscribe for more like this, but I also do the comm center. It's true crime from the first 911 call to the verdict. The link's down in the description below. You should check it out. >> Okay. >> Do you want me Would you like me to open up the window for you? >> I don't care. I'm going to look out. Like I'm going to probably look out tight and not talk to you. So. >> That's totally That's totally fine. >> It's totally up to you whatever you want to do. >> What? >> You're welcome to open it. >> Just being cur- I'm being courteous. >> I I'm going to be honest. It's like 2:00 a.m. I've been drinking all night. >> That is a rehearsal for what she is going to tell her boss. I guarantee it. That's the first phone call she's going to make when she gets to jail. Her mom already knows. Her ex-husband already knows. She's got to tell somebody else and she's rehearsing it. That's I guarantee that's what she's going to tell her boss. >> So, question for you. >> Yes, ma'am. >> So, I'm just curious if I need an attorney again because um I have to work tomorrow, right? So, I need to understand of like am I getting out? Am I getting arrested? If I go to jail, I need someone to come to the jail, bail me out, like all that stuff. >> So, as of right now, you're going to be booked into Lycoming County Jail. >> Okay. >> Okay. Then you'll have to see a judge in the morning. >> Tomorrow? >> Yes, ma'am. And then the judge is going to decide if you're staying longer or they're going to release you. >> So, I absolutely There's no possible way I could go on my work trip tomorrow, right? >> No, ma'am. >> Like I need to So, I'm going to sleep in jail tonight. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Why would they make me spend the night in jail? >> Because you're under arrest right now for DUI. >> And I'm probably going to get fired from my job cuz I won't make the flight and I won't make the road trip, and that's when I need to just like start preparing for it is like the aftermath of the reality of what I did. But then also the reality of like my schedule this weekend what I can't make. Hi. >> I hope for her that this is her rock bottom and that she realizes that this got her nowhere. >> I am citing you for DUI. You're going to have to be in court tomorrow at 3:00. I'm also charging you with reckless endangerment your child being in the car. Okay? Same thing. Here's the citation for that. >> She was charged with DUI and reckless endangerment. They're both gross misdemeanors in the state of Washington, and I mean gross. Because her breath samples came back at 251 and 277. That's roughly three times the legal limit. And because her son was with her in the car, the officer had no choice but to contact CPS. Minutes before this crash, her vehicle was reported in a separate hit-and-run, which has its own investigation. We're not even talking about that here. The case is still open as far as I know. She hasn't been convicted. But if you like this video, watch this next one. Be safe and don't get body cammed.
