What starts as a seemingly routine roadside conversation quickly turns into a much more complicated DUI investigation. The officer is dealing with a driver who admits drinking, a passenger who keeps speaking for her, and several driving behaviors that have already raised concerns. But there's an even bigger twist coming. The passenger is eventually given a chance to leave, yet the situation doesn't end there. Watch closely because the decisions made in the next several minutes will completely change how this encounter unfolds. What would you do if an officer stopped you under these circumstances? >> Please, let her go. >> No, why? >> Well, because you you were given an opportunity to go home. >> Ma'am, you have a good evening. >> Hi. >> Hey, do you happen to have your driver's license and registration on you? >> I don't have my license, but I have a copy of it. I don't have my license, but I have a copy. >> Don't have your license, but you have a copy? >> Yeah, I have a >> Okay. >> Where's your driver's >> Good evening, Anthony. >> Good night. I have mine. Good night. >> Lady's having a good 4th, or I guess it's the 5th now. Huh? >> Yes, can you get me my license? This is my car. This is my car. >> Your car? >> Yes, this is >> Okay. >> My friend is good getting me home. >> Okay. Well, she's driving, so we got to have her license. >> I got I know. Stop. I know. Where's your I need my license. I'm going. I am. I'll stop. >> License is my 97. Is the individual you're still looking for? What's your first name? >> Jennifer. >> Jennifer? >> We're both principals. Stop. I'm with you. >> Oh, you have a picture of it. Okay. >> Yeah. >> All right. All right. Okay. All right, then. And you said it's your car, correct? >> It's her car. >> Okay, that's fine. No problem. And where are you ladies coming from tonight? >> Well, I was at >> I don't know where we were. >> We were going to clear my head. Like we're like 2 seconds away from the house. >> Yeah, but I said where I asked where you were coming from. >> We were driving with the kids and then >> Okay, that's fine. Just curious. >> We ate and then we were driving >> All right. Miss Jennifer, you consumed any alcohol today? Cuz I can smell it, which >> Yes, I have. >> At this point, the officer is beginning to establish the basis for the investigation. He says he can smell alcohol and has already observed driving behavior that concerned him, including the vehicle moving across lanes and apparently striking a curb. The officer is now asking directly whether Jennifer has consumed alcohol. Her answer is yes, which becomes another piece of information alongside the driving pattern and the officer's roadside observations. Notice that the officer isn't immediately jumping straight to an arrest here. He's gathering information, separating the two women, and trying to determine what actually happened behind the wheel. Okay. Would you mind sitting back here so I can talk to you? >> Yeah, I put my shoes on >> Yeah, that's fine. Are you related to her or anything? >> I'm her best friend. That's >> Why Right over here. Whoops. Be careful. Why Why is she speaking for you? >> Um >> Whoops. Let's Let's not fall. Here, let's go right where the light is. Yep, just right there. Okay. Say that again. >> She's worried about me. >> Okay. Why is she worried about you? You're >> Cuz we are both high up and we are both high in the total pole of, you know, education and >> Okay. >> our workforce, so it's it's it's hard. And we're both uh married to police officers. So. >> Okay. Well, my wife's married to a police officer, too. And I'm >> got home and I I >> Is she currently married to one or she have an ex? >> Um both of us are We just recently divorced. >> So, not her. >> her home. And >> Okay. >> I thought she was going to be a DD, but it didn't happen. And so I'm just trying to get a quarter of the way home. >> Okay. Okay. >> I just moved. We just got divorced and I just moved >> Sorry to hear that. >> Uh I don't know. You should be thankful for me. >> Well, I don't know about the personal stuff, but just just to be clear, the reason why we're here is because you get you guys were over by Minnehaha. Do you know the area? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, you're over by Minnehaha. Um and what would that be? East Avenue. >> Yeah. >> You know where that is? >> Yes. >> Okay. You guys were at the light when you're coming down Minnehaha, you're all over the road. >> Okay. >> This is an important moment because the officer explains why he made contact in the first place. According to his account, the vehicle was moving all over the road and entered the wrong portion of the travel lane. He also says he observed slow reactions, slow blinking, and other behavior that contributed to his concern. In a DUI investigation, the driving itself can be an important part of the overall picture. It's not just about whether someone admits drinking. The officer is explaining that his concern comes from a combination of what he saw on the road and what he observed after making contact. >> So, the point, even when you come around this corner, you're in that travel lane. >> Okay. >> So, then >> about it, but okay. I'll try to believe you. I do I I don't know I'm believing okay. >> Do you remember hitting the curb over there by like Morning Drive? >> No, I do not. >> Okay. So, that that's why I'm here. And then I go up, I talk to you. I notice you have like very slow delayed reactions. I could smell the alcohol. Um you even have like slow blink, you know, your orbital sway like I said when you see >> I know it all. I've been there 20 years with my husband. >> Okay. So, I'm just I'm just explaining to you why I got you out of the car. It's not every day that I usually have a passenger do more talking than the driver does. So, >> I should worry about me. >> I'm worried I'm worried too. That's why I'm here. >> Because I'm a good person and I just want me to be >> So, Jennifer, I never said you're a bad person. >> No, no, no. I'm not talking about that. It's just all right. Sorry about my future. >> Okay. Well, since we're in this position with you, you know, having operating control of the motor vehicle, >> Yes. >> what I'm going to ask of you is if you would like to perform field sobriety exercises to dispe- >> Now, the investigation reaches a key decision point. The officer asks Jennifer whether she wants to perform field sobriety exercises to address his concerns about her ability to safely operate the vehicle. Jennifer initially says she can't do it. Then the conversation becomes difficult because she's talking about her former husband and personal circumstances. The officer keeps bringing the discussion back to the immediate issue, whether she wants to perform the exercises. This exchange shows how quickly a roadside investigation can become emotionally complicated. Personal circumstances may explain someone's behavior, but they don't necessarily resolve the officer's safety concerns about driving. >> all my concern >> attack for that. >> Can't do it? >> Remember my ex was >> Your ex is irrelevant. He's not in the car with you. >> I No, I get that, but you know >> So, I'm asking you cuz you're you're an adult. >> No, I can't. >> So, do you want me to repeat it or do you understand what I said? >> I'm sorry. Repeat it if you want to. >> Okay. So, what I'm asking or requesting of you is that you perform field sobriety exercises to dispel my concern that you're able to safely operate Okay, so you don't want me to explain it? >> No. >> Okay. You sure you don't want me to explain it? >> I mean, you can you can explain it if you want to. Sure. >> Well, I keep trying, you keep interrupting. So, I don't want you to be confused. If you If you understand, you understand. I don't have to go. I'm just trying to So, you do want me to explain it? >> Yes, please. >> Okay. The reason I'm asking that is because I would like you to perform field sobriety exercises to dispel my concern that you are able to safely operate that vehicle. >> I should. >> So, I know you've given me an answer, but with me saying that do you not want to perform field sobriety exercises or do you Okay, and you understand the recourse from that? What what takes place with it? >> I I I I think so. But you can >> Listen carefully to what the officer says here. He's making it clear that declining the exercises doesn't simply make the investigation disappear. He explains that he will consider the information already gathered, including the driving behavior and roadside interaction, and then decide what happens next. This is an important distinction. Refusing or declining an investigative step doesn't automatically mean the officer has no other information to consider. At the same time, the officer is explicitly telling her what he's going to do with the information already available. The situation is moving from a conversation toward an enforcement decision. >> It's based on that. >> I I will. So, what that means is that I'm going to take the information gathered from your driving pattern and the and the roadside that I made with you, roadside contact, and make a determination on what I'm going to do next. So, when I ask that's, you know, and you say you don't want to dispel my concerns, that's okay, that's your right. But, then I'm telling you I have to take, based off what I have, and make a determination. Does that make sense? >> Yes, I do. >> Okay. >> Can I speak to you solely without another party, or not? >> Well, I was just It was you and me here before she got here. >> Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm asking. >> So, do you want to perform the field sobriety exercises? >> Can I speak to you solely without her? I'm not It's not about >> Uh after the after you answer my questions. >> Okay. >> So, do you want to perform the exercises? Okay. And you do understand the adverse consequences. Okay. >> I guess. >> So, go ahead and put your hands behind your back. >> You got it. >> Yeah, yeah. >> Is she yelling at them? >> Nah, she's whining. >> Hey, stay in the car. >> I know. We're good with you. >> Okay, stay in the car. >> Come on. We're like 2 seconds from home. >> Okay, cool. >> We're both school principals. We're like, come on. Don't do this to us. >> Do what? >> And now the tone changes dramatically. The passenger is repeatedly asking the officers not to arrest Jennifer, emphasizing that both women are school principals, and that they were simply trying to get home safely. But, the officer explains that the decision has already been made. Notice something important here. The officers are not debating whether Jennifer is a good person. The passenger repeatedly frames the situation around their careers and personal lives. While the officers keep bringing the conversation back to the alleged impaired driving. That's a major difference between emotional reasoning and an enforcement decision. >> Look, I just I'm standing here. >> I know. Like we're not doing anything wrong. She's taking care of me. >> Okay, I I didn't I didn't say y'all did anything wrong. I'm just standing here. >> So, all I did was tell you not to get out of the car. That's it. >> All right. >> All right, so she is going to be arrested. >> No, she's not. >> That's what >> Why? >> That's what that officer came to conclusion. >> Why? >> He came to that conclusion she was driving intoxicated. >> No, why? >> Okay. >> Come on. >> So >> Like we're two principals of two charter schools. Please don't do this to our careers. >> Okay, so that's not that's >> Okay. >> Please don't. >> That's not to me. What's what's already done is done. Okay, it's done. >> Please don't. >> I will, but please don't do this to me. >> Okay, call someone to give you a ride. >> But come on. Please don't do this to me. What happened? >> Call someone to come pick you up cuz obviously you're not in a good state to drive. >> I understand. >> And it would be a danger to yourself and other people out on the road. >> I I understand, but I I don't want that to happen. Please don't. >> Okay, so it's it's already done. It's already done. >> Why? >> She's already >> Why? >> She's already placed under arrest. She's already >> Why? No, please don't. >> DUI. >> Please don't. >> It's it's done. >> Why? >> It's done. There is no There's no negotiating. >> Please, I'm begging you. Like we work for a really good school. >> Okay, no no no no no. You got to listen to me. All right? No no no no. You're listening to me. Get Get a [ __ ] ride here right now. We're done. >> I will. >> We're done. >> I will. >> It's already said and done. Get a ride. >> I will. >> Get a ride. >> I will. Like please, we're not We We legit. Like we literally live to serve the community. >> That's that's cool. >> [ __ ] trying to be nothing. We're trying to be calm and safe. Please, you're letting a person. She's a super good person. Please. >> it's already done. >> No. >> It's already done. The officer already made that arrest. >> No. >> It's already done. We're >> Please. >> Saying please gets you nowhere. It's done. >> So, what do I do? >> By this point, the passenger realizes that pleading isn't changing the situation. She's repeatedly asking what she can do to help her friend, while the officer tells her that Jennifer is already under arrest, and that the immediate priority is getting the passenger safely home. The officer repeatedly tells her to arrange a ride rather than drive herself. That's an important safety issue because the passenger has also been drinking. Even though she isn't the person initially arrested, putting another potentially impaired person back behind the wheel could create a second dangerous situation. The officers are now trying to prevent that from happening. >> Help her. >> There's nothing you can do right now. >> Why? >> She's already under arrest in the back of a cop car. It's It's over. The right thing to do The right thing The right thing to do would have been to get a ride home instead of having her drive. >> I will. I would have done that. >> Okay. >> I would have done that if she was trying to take care of me. Please. >> Nope. >> Are you a Harvard Yeah, can you calm her down, please? >> Uh no. >> I beg you, take me instead. >> Why? There's no There's no reason to take you. >> Yes, please. Can you please take me instead? >> Hey, I'm just going to turn this off right now. >> No. Can you please Please. We are two school principals. >> This is her phone. She wants her phone. >> I know. Listen to me, please. >> Okay, I'm listening. >> me. Listen to me. We are two school principals. We [ __ ] live our lives for other people. >> Okay. >> Please. Don't do this. Please take me instead. >> Hey, Christina, right? >> Yes. >> Christina, hey. >> Listen to me. >> I want you to I want you to listen to me real quick. >> We work for >> Hey, you mentioned that. I'm going to tell you something. >> Come on. >> Jennifer already made a decision. She wants her phone. I'm going to take it with her. You can call Listen, you can call for Uber or a ride. >> I will. >> Okay, go ahead and work on that. Does your Uber say it's here? It does? Okay. What do you want us to do with your vehicle? >> So, where do I leave my car? >> So >> You can leave it in Colonial. >> Do you want us to put it over there? >> I can put it over there. You can put it over there. Whatever you want. >> No, we can't have you drive over there. That's the thing. So, you want us to go move this in that parking lot right there? >> Yes, please. >> Is that Are you good with that? Like 100%? Are you 100% sure that cuz this is your vehicle. I'm not going to do what you want. >> sure you can put it over there. >> Okay. Will you stay out of the road? Your The Uber's over here if you want to go sit down and I'll bring you your key, okay? Is that better? >> She's a school bus driver. She's a good person. She's trying to get me home safely. I don't understand. I understand. I'm not drunk. >> about that. We We have a job to do, okay? >> I understand. >> It is what it is for now. Like, this this conversation isn't good for you. If you wanted to talk about this with somebody like when you're a little more sober, like sure, but this isn't a This isn't a good time for you either, okay? >> Okay. >> But, we helped you out. We didn't tow the car. Helped you get to the Uber. He's right here. He's uh waiting on you. You got your key. >> This section is easy to overlook, but it's significant. The officer acknowledges that the passenger is upset and tells her that continuing the conversation while she's emotional and possibly still affected by alcohol isn't productive. Instead, he focuses on practical steps. Her vehicle hasn't been towed. She's been helped toward an Uber, and she has access to her keys. This is essentially a transition from enforcement to problem-solving. The immediate objective is no longer arguing about Jennifer's arrest. It's making sure the remaining person gets somewhere safely without creating another incident. >> back, right? Okay. So, how do I get my phone back? >> So, you just got to go through our process. >> a phone? Do you have anything? >> Yes, she'll have access to her phone. She can get phone numbers out of it. She'll be able to call you or whoever she needs to, okay? She has a process. It's not crazy like she's not going to not have a phone. But, you just got to be patient and wait, okay? It's going to be a little bit. All right? But, I think he's uh waiting on you all, okay? >> Thank you. >> Uh-huh. >> Thanks. >> It's that boy who looks like Christine's boyfriend. Hey, turn off the car. Why are you driving? >> I'm leaving. >> Worried? >> Because I'm scared. I was supposed to go to scared. Transfer it to Lake Havasu today. So, I'm just going to go and wait. >> Okay, well, we're in a different area now because you're driving and you shouldn't be driving. >> I understand that. I I wish she didn't >> And then comes the twist that changes the entire situation. The passenger is now driving again. She explains that she was trying to deal with Jennifer's situation, including attempting to arrange money for her release. But, from the officer's perspective, the critical fact is much simpler. She has been drinking. The officer had previously spoken with her while she appeared significantly impaired, and now she is operating a vehicle again. The officer even reminds her that only a couple of hours have passed. This is where the earlier warning about getting a ride becomes extremely important. >> Right there, I was at her house, and then I called, and they told me that she was right there at the South Lake police South Lake whatever. And they told me I needed $2,000 to bond her out. So, I went to the ATM, but my ATM card doesn't work. So, then now I'm like stuck. So, I don't know what to do cuz she can't get out till 10:30. So, then I'm going to go back to her house right now. That's what I was doing. Like I'm not meaning to do anything wrong. I'm way better >> I just talked to you. You were really drunk when I talked to you. It's a couple hours later. >> I understand. I'm really not. I promise you I'm not. I'm just really worried >> Okay. Well, look, I can still smell it, so are you able to do field sobriety exercises for me? >> I'm fine. Like I don't want to go to jail, either. >> Go go and sit down for me, okay? Just got to come to the sidewalk. All right, this way. All right, I got a couple of questions before we get started, okay? >> Yeah. >> All right, are you sick or injured? >> No. >> Are you diabetic? >> No. >> You take insulin? >> No. >> You are under the care of a doctor? >> No. >> Do you have seizures? >> No. >> I'm going to go on this side cuz of the flashlights. Christine, can you face me? All right, what's your question? >> What would you do with a drunk person? >> Not drive. >> I understand that. >> What what was your question about your options? >> I don't want to I want to be able to wake up in the morning and go get her and be okay. And I'll be okay. And I'll be okay. What about the principal? What about the people? >> Okay. >> The freaking cop put this. I don't know what she said. I don't know what she did. She had a freaking abusive husband that was a cop. So, she has PTSD. >> to sidetrack, okay? >> I I understand. She probably gave him attitude. I'm not going to say she didn't. >> Not relevant, okay? So, what we have now >> right? >> I know. >> Do you understand where we're at? You said you're willing to do field sobriety exercises. You said you were willing to do them, right? >> I feel way better than it was before when you sent me home. I understand that. And I did go home. I was in the parking lot for 2 hours. And then I called and they told me she was at Southlake. So, like they told me she was right there. So, I tried to pay the $2,000. They don't take it right now. >> field sobriety exercises or not? >> What are my options? >> So, your options are you can do field sobriety exercises and if you say you're better, that gives you the opportunity >> The officer gives Christine another opportunity to address the concern through field sobriety exercises. Notice the difference from the earlier encounter. This time, she agrees to participate, although she repeatedly asks what her options are and explains that she feels much better than before. The officer explains that performing the exercises gives her an opportunity to address his concerns, while declining them means he has to make his decision based on the information already available. The key point is that the officer is explaining the choice while also making clear that the decision about whether she is safe to drive remains his responsibility. >> you to dispel my concerns that you're not operating a vehicle while you're intoxicated, okay? If you don't want to do those, that can be used against you in court. You're free to participate and I have to make a determination based on what I have so far. >> Right. >> Which I just talked to you. >> I know. I know. >> You were really drunk and you were already driving again. >> I know. >> Do you understand? >> That was a long time ago. I get it. I understand. >> So, you're willing to do field sobriety exercises? >> What are my options? >> don't I'm not sure what's like what's better for me and I I don't know. >> Your choice. I gave you >> I just put in like I would trade for her in a second. So it's fair. >> I got you. I gave you your options. You can do them or not. Up to you. Okay. So what I'm going to have you do is put your feet together. Put your hands down by your sides. >> Now we're watching the investigative portion of the encounter unfold step-by-step. The officer explains the instructions before beginning, including the eye movement exercise and later the walking and balance exercises. He also asks about medical conditions and whether she is injured or has other circumstances that could affect the exercises. That's important because standardized roadside exercises are supposed to be interpreted in context. Things like medical conditions, footwear, balance, and the environment can potentially affect performance. Here, the officer even discusses the uneven surface and asks whether she's comfortable with her shoes before continuing. >> And stay like this. This is I'm going to check your eyes. So follow my finger with your eyes and your eyes only, okay? Um don't move your head and stay in that position while I do the exercise. Do you understand so far? >> Mhm. >> Okay. Do you wear contacts? >> No. >> Keep your head still, okay? Okay. Um so the next thing I'm going to have you do is I'm going to have you come over to this line. It's not the most flat here, but is this flat enough? Do you feel okay to walk? >> Yeah. >> All right. So what I'm going to have you do, put your left foot Are you comfortable in those shoes? Do you have other shoes in the car or would you rather be barefoot? It's whatever you're more comfortable with. All right. So, put your left foot on that line. Put your right heel touching your left toe on that line. Put your arms down by your sides. Don't start yet. Put your arms down by your sides like this. >> I'm sure about finding a seam like on a normal day. So, it's like >> Okay. But, so with in that position, can you remain like that while I explain the rest of the instructions? Do you understand so far? All right. So, what I'll have you do is from that position, you're going to take nine heel-to-toe steps on this line in front of you, okay? Um it's a continuous exercise. Don't stop once you start. Count your steps out loud. When you get to the end, you're going to take a series of small steps to turn around, which I'm going to demonstrate, and then you're going to take nine heel-to-toe steps back. Feet together? Or like right there? Sorry, not like right up on me. So, right there. Stand like there, feet together while I explain the rest of the instructions. Do you understand so far? Put your feet together. Um Okay. Um so, what you're going to do is you're going to pick whichever foot you want, um and you're going to lift it about 6 in off the ground. Keep your foot parallel to the ground, about the height of a Coke can. With your arms by your sides, looking down at your toe, you're going to count out loud like this. Don't start yet. 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005. All right. >> 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005, 1,006, 1,007, 1,008, 1,009, 1,010, 1,011, 1,012, 1,013, 1,014, 1,015, 1,016, 1,017, 1,018, 1,019, 1,020, 1,021, 1,022, 1,023, 1,014, 1,025, 1,026, 1,027, 1,028. 2 9, 30, >> 31. I'm out of shape. >> 32, 33, 34, 35. All right, you can stop. All right, go ahead and put your hands behind your back, okay? >> The exercises are over and almost immediately the officer places Christine under arrest. Her reaction is confusion and disbelief. She argues that she completed the exercise and believes that means she passed some kind of test. The officer corrects that assumption explaining that these are exercises rather than a simple pass or fail test. More importantly, he explains why the arrest is happening. She had previously been given an opportunity to go home, obtained a ride, and then later chose to retrieve and drive the vehicle after drinking. That sequence is central to understanding why the second encounter became much more serious. >> Put your hands behind your back. You're under arrest. >> Well, because you you were given an opportunity to go home. You got a ride. Listen. And then you made the choice to then go get the car that you were told to leave in the parking lot and drink and drive or drive impaired. Well, she was going to be in there for 8 hours. There was no point. She thinks I'm going to get her at 10:30. Please. It's not 10:30. She was going to get her out at 10:30. Please. Come on, guys. I'm not like impaired. I just passed a whole test. It's not a test. It's exercises. There's no pass or fail. Do you mind facing the car? And move your feet apart. Please. Do you mind if I your feet apart? I don't want to have to do it for you. Thank >> I have two kids. Please, I'm not trying anything. >> Is there somebody at home with their kid with your kids? >> Yes, yes, their dad. >> Okay. As long as there's an adult there. >> So, how do we get out? >> You have You're going to have to wait 8 hours. You have to sober up. You can bond out in 8 hours. >> am. >> No. >> Okay. >> You can bond out in 8 hours. You have anything in your bra? >> No, I have nothing. >> Okay. >> You guys can like arrest both of us? >> Yeah. I'm now requesting that you submit to a lawful test of your breath for the purpose of determining the alcohol content. Will you take the test? Will you take the test? >> No. >> Okay. If you refuse to take the test I requested of you, your privilege your driving privilege, excuse me, will be suspended for a period of 1 year for your first refusal. Additionally, if you refuse to take the test I requested of you, you will be committing a misdemeanor in the second degree. If this is your first refusal in addition to any other penalties which can be imposed by law, if you refuse to take the test I requested of you, and if your driving privilege has previously been suspended, or if you have been previously fined under section 327.35215 for a refusal to submit to a lawful test of your breath, urine, or blood, your driving privilege will be suspended for a period of 18 months. Additionally, you'll be committing a misdemeanor in the first degree. In addition to any other penalties which can be imposed by law, refusal to submit to the test I requested of you is admissible as evidence in any criminal proceeding. Do you still refuse to submit? >> I want to call my husband. This is crazy. >> Do you still refuse to submit? I need a I I need to know. Yes, you refuse to submit? Okay. Do you still refuse to submit to the test? >> I'm signing you are reading paper. >> I have to. >> I know I I get it. My husband's a police officer, so I know you have to. >> I thought it was your ex-boyfriend. >> Uh no, ex-husband. Sorry, just got divorced. >> Okay, so ex-husband. >> A few months a few a few months ago. >> Okay, so. >> So. I need you to understand that I'm I'm a human being. So. >> Okay, I hear you. >> Okay, it's cool. I know you're reading a paper and like. >> Do you want me to explain what the paper says? >> It's It's really hard for me to understand what you're reading when you're just spitting it out to me. >> So, what part of that didn't you understand? Do you want me to like give you an explanation of it? >> Or read it again. So. >> So. >> So, in my for me it's like a family lawyer. So, I have to. >> Okay, so this doesn't This doesn't require This doesn't require a lawyer. >> It does. >> This doesn't. >> It kind of does. >> Can I Can I Can I talk? >> Absolutely. >> Thank you so much. I'm going to talk without interruption, right? Okay. So, this doesn't require a lawyer. This part doesn't require a lawyer cuz it's not a questioning.
