Do you want me to handcuff you and arrest you? Because right now at this point you're refusing to provide me any I am. I'm an elected official. The cops response, elected official of what? Chicago. A Sunday night, Cook County Commissioner Samantha Steel crashes a Honda into two parked cars on Ashland Avenue. Witnesses say she tried to drive off in a wrecked car. There's a half empty bottle of wine on the floor. Cops arrive, she's swaying, glassy-eyed, smelling of alcohol. They find the wine. Cabernet, in case you're wondering. She refuses to exit the vehicle, refuses her license, refuses the field sobriety test, refuses the breathalyzer. Then comes the elected official line, and then she calls a fellow commissioner and tries to pass him off as her attorney. He bails publicly two days later. Here's the part nobody's talking about. In Illinois, refusing a breathalyzer triggers automatic license suspension. [music] Hers got reinstated because her lawyer caught the officer mixing up which test she refused on the paperwork. The DUI case is still pending. Her defense, the body cam is a deepfake. Real defense doc or insulting the audience, drop your verdict in the comments.
