So, she'll have to wait for 8 hours before she can get out. If it's a misdemeanor, it's a $500 bond. Okay? Do you have any credit cards or anything? Uh just a Well, that's it. That's it. So, just work on your ride so you can you can start getting home, okay? So, call an Uber or call a friend or or call someone. I already called my friend coming over, but like what do I have What do I have to do for her? So, we've already told I've told you that already. He told you He told you that already. She cannot do anything. She is going to jail. She'll be at jail for at least >> she's going to jail, then I can do something for her. So, what is that? Y'all can't be slick with that. I can pay for her bond and >> But she will not be able to bond out for 8 hours. That's fine, but y'all can't tell me I can't do nothing for her when I can do something for her. After 8 hours, then yes. Yeah. Okay. >> And that's if the the judge grants her a bond. The judge has to grant her a bond. We don't know what the judge is going to grant her. We're not the judge. Okay. Thank you. Yep. Nope. Yeah, where you at? All right, when you step out, I'm going to just search you real quick before they take you to jail. Turn around and face the car. Yep, go ahead. She had high heels on, so switch them out. No worries. There you go. 2 Face the car. Did she drive? No, her Her car is going to have to get towed. This is her You have anything on you that can poke me, stick me, hurt me? Where we going to go to? Where we going to go to? Relax. I'm Face away from the car for me. staying here for like two weeks maybe. Thank you. Why you stay at home? Face card. Go ahead and have a seat. Thank you. You're welcome. >> [snorts] >> So, what charges do I have? What's that? What charges do I have? DUI. That's what? DUI? Yep. Do you have an estimate like when will I be out? Yep. You have to stay for a minimum of 8 hours. So, it's 3:30 now, so 11:30 would be pretty much the exact earliest that you'll be able to get out. >> Okay. Probably won't be closer to noon. It won't be longer than that? Say what? It won't be longer than that? I mean It could be, but it's it's It's probably not. I mean, you you'll you'll have a bond. Uh so, if you pay the bond, then you don't have to see a judge. Uh but if you don't pay the bond, then you have to see a judge and then it might take a little bit longer. Okay. Um So, your car is getting getting towed by A&M Towing. Okay. I'll have to get down with your paperwork. So, if I get bailed out, let's say, Mhm. Um how can I get my car? You just got to go to their lot. And I have to pay it like a separate? Yeah, you have to pay a a tow fee. Okay. Like a separate tow fee? Yeah. Okay. >> So, the the tow fee is different than than the arrest. Okay. Um And like so, as long as I'm out by tomorrow, that's all. Well, what do you mean tomorrow? Like I don't know. Like as long as I'm I don't know cuz I don't know if they have court in the morning. That's all I know. Well, if you pay a if you pay your pay a bond, then you don't have to go to court tomorrow. Like if I pay a bond right now? Now it's I mean, you got to Well, if you pay a bond before you go to court, then you don't have to go to court. But it's you still have to stay the 8 hours. So, pretty much like when the 8 hours is up, you pay the bond, then you don't have to wait to go to court, too. Okay. Does that make sense? So, if I wait the 8 hours, I pay the bond, then you don't have to go to court then you don't have to wait to see a judge Okay. to get out. But that's not longer than a day or two days? What's that? That's not longer than like a day or like two days? Yeah. No, it's typically it's I mean, it might take a little like an hour or two, but it's not going to take, you know, a day. Like to be honest with you, it's 3:30 in the morning, you're probably you probably wouldn't go to first appearance court, you know, anyway. So, I don't know if they have an afternoon first first appearance or how they do that type stuff. Typically, the fastest way of getting out is paying a bond. Uh-huh. So, that's about all I can tell you. But my bond is separate from like the tow. Correct. How much do you think the tow is going to be? Uh I don't know where A&M their lot is, uh but it's like 150 to hook it up and then like $5 a mile, so probably 200? 150, 200, something like that. 200? Probably. But like right now, let's say like I'm going in right now, >> Yep. when would you think that that like I'll be out? I mean, like I said, noon is probably a safe bet. 1:00 p.m. is definitely a safe bet. Okay. 394 >> Do you think I'll be out in the morning? Like I said, I think 1:00 p.m. would be a safe bet, but other than that, I couldn't tell you. Okay. All right, I got to read this to you real quick. Can you hear me okay? Mhm.

Additionally, if you refuse to take the test I requested of you, and if your driving privilege has been previously suspended, or if you've been previously fined under Florida Statute 327.35215 for refusal to submit to a lawful test of your breath, urine, or blood, you'll be committing a misdemeanor in addition to any other penalties which can be imposed by law.
