back here for my [Applause] bumper so are you did you graduate high school I'm not this isn't an assaulting question it's just super generic unfortunately not I'm actually going back to SCH on Monday okay but you know your ABC Pretty convenient but you know your ABCs yeah no I know my ABCs but I like I know like like I said I watch Cops a lot yeah I like tried to practice like my ZD yeah through like backwards I how about this we do we do forward does that make sense so let's do can you count from or count a b c d e f g yeah okay can you go from C to z z what you say C the letter c as in cat to Z as in z z to cat start c as in cat to Z as in Z so start i c yeah c d e f g h j k l m l p q RS TV W all righty how about this can you take your hand and do this one two 3 4 4 3 2 1 what you're going to do is hit the pinky twice 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 one can you do it again 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 one Perfect all righty so you want to be honest with me how many drinks have you have I like I said I have I picked them up I can I can see in your eyes your eyes tell a lot yeah 100% how much You' drank alcohol is a depressant what that does is it makes an involuntary jerking motion of your eye that no one can almost me yeah so and I I see that so and I know you're like your job so yeah so being honest with me yeah okay no and I definitely had like I'm definitely likely mhm all I had is I picked them up and I took a drink and that's it so I were you guys head in a waffle house we were yeah no she lives on um or lake yeah I live on okay so it's only like a 5 minute difference okay um so honestly if you don't get W the house that's okay I'd rather like not upset you in any way so do you have a PBT by chance I don't think I do if if we have one I don't know I know I don't no I know the law and you can't not agree to not blow one without getting your license taken away so so this one is he has one technically you this is not ad admissible in court so like this couldn't be used to so so like this is just it's honestly up to you like you said well no technically it's up to you you can tell me no I can't do anything about it okay so um like I said if you feel like I mean I would like you to but I can for you to and I can't hold if you did the test if you feel like the tests were okay I can drop them off and I can is for the mouthpiece no the triggers okay it's initiated slide oh okay so what I'm going to have you do is just blow into this okay and it's going to be like blown up a balloon it's going to be long but at that point where is is it going to affect me to the point where I'm going to drive be driving home or so what is that what this thing is is is I use it as a tool to assist me engaging I know but at that point like I do know the law yeah do you feel like test were not enough it's enough for where we're at okay this is another this is another tool that's going to allow me to evaluate okay so so do you feel I can drive my friends home or do you feel like you need to test me more I'd be honest with you we've done quite a bit of tests and I'm at the point where I'm going to make a decision um and if you don't want to do this that's fine I can't like no and I don't want to upset you like I said but I definitely don't want to want to do this it's not going to I don't want to like make it to the point where it's going to be more than what it is because I know how to got you know like I said I know how to control myself but at the same time like I said I only came to pick them up I drink one drink so I'm not trying to like make it more than what it is I'll be honest with you drinking one drink necessarily isn't illegal it's operating a vehicle Under the Influence which statutory law and a high is 008 so if you're not above wait okay this is probably not going to go anywhere okay all right does that make sense and that's what I'm saying so if you feel like my tests were okay then I don't feel like we need to do the the variety test okay so you don't want to take it no I and it's not the fact that I don't want to take it it's the fact of do you feel like we need it it's a tool that assists me engaging you I don't know how else to explain that and like I said I Live 5 minutes down the road okay I can drop them off and go about my way and that's it I don't want to be more than what it needs to be so if you feel as if how how old are you I don't want to blow into okay you turn the thing off I'll turn off as long as how old are you excuse me how old are you I'm okay so here's the deal all right I am not comfortable with how you perform okay so I'm not going to try to make a big deal out of this however there's going to be some paperwork we have to do okay what that means is you're being place under ARR for Obi okay however I don't plan on as long as your record which I don't believe it is you don't have any prior Obi not at all so what's going to happen is I'm going to transport you to my office which is literally right over here that's fine we're going to do some paperwork you're going to get a ticket so for them though how can I they're going to have to get a ride out of here somehow somewhere okay okay yeah um yeah it cool out here um so I mean is there any situation that I can help get them home get me home is anything so at this point how old are they we're all 22 okay so they're all adults so at this point they're going to be in charge of making sure that they get home safely no and I just wanted to make sure if there's anything I can do to like to the point where we don't need that so if you feel as if need one you feel like the variety test wasn't good enough what is your first name Maya correct we're we're P it okay like it's it it wasn't you didn't perform that way okay so I won't disagree with you I'm not trying to make this any more of a rough night on you than where we're at okay okay so I will try to figure something out help them out however they are adults but what we me and you have to do is go back to our office I'm going offer you a breath test we're going to sit down wece paperwork that's up to you whether you not you want to take it can't hold it against you okay totally your option if you don't want to that's fine if you do then great um but we're going to do some paperwork and you're going to be cut loose as long as like I said you don't have any crazy passive the eyes where I would have to take you to jail but I don't plan to and in fact you you may be home with them now okay but my policy does stay my policy does stay I do have to P okay unfortunately go ahead what what were you going to say unfortunately I guess that's that's it can we tell my friends that's what's going on it probably heard us what going on okay unfortunately I guess I'm getting arrested for DUI okay so you guys are going to have to get picked up my mom's going to pick us up that's yeah so um you guys are going to have to get picked up don't do to do know your rights I know I know my rights but he's being a
