It's on the dashboard. >> Okay. >> Zachary >> Yes. >> Okay, do you have anything in your pockets? >> No, sir. No. >> You're going to notice something strange about this one almost immediately. Nobody yells. Nobody resists. Nobody argues about their rights or asks if they're being detained. The officer is warm with her from the first sentence to the last, and she's polite with him right back. It is genuinely the friendliest traffic stop you will ever watch. And she still went to jail because at one point she tells him she had one drink, one Miller Lite, and about 40 minutes later, a machine gives a very different answer. Just before 1:00 in the morning on January 15th, 2023, Officer Nathan Smith of the Bentonville Police Department is driving westbound on Southeast Walton Boulevard when he notices a black SUV ahead of him. The driver's side tires cross the yellow line as it approaches the intersection with Medical Center Parkway. It merges back. Then the tires cross the line again. Then it drifts toward the center turn lane with the driver's side tires sitting on top of the yellow line repeatedly. And as the vehicle comes through a bend locals call Rainbow Curve, the tires cross the line twice more. That's the part people miss about impaired driving stops. It's rarely one dramatic swerve. It's a pattern, the same small failure repeating. Because the driver keeps correcting a car that keeps wandering. Officer Smith puts his lights on and the SUV pulls into a car dealership lot on South Walton. He approaches the window and meets the driver, identified by her Arkansas license as Brooke Teague. And here's where the tone of this whole video gets set because the conversation is relaxed. >> Hello. >> Hey, I'm Officer Smith, Medical Police Department. >> you, Mr. Smith. >> Um I've never heard that before on a traffic stop. I appreciate that. Um hey, so I'm just stopping you for improper lane use. You're doing some >> Sorry, I was on the phone. >> You're on the phone? >> honest. >> Okay. Who are you on the phone with? >> My baby daddy. I'll put you two through. >> Okay. Zachary? >> Yeah. You can talk to him if you want. >> Where are you coming from? >> I'm coming from JJ's. I just got off. I'm going to Street. Go home. Yeah. >> Okay. You live on Street? >> Friendly, >> [music] >> even. But the officer is documenting three things at the same time. Her eyes are bloodshot and watery. He can smell intoxicants coming from the vehicle. And her speech is slurred. She tells him she's on her way home from JJ's Grill, where she works, and that her shift ended at half past 10. He asks what she's had to drink. She says one drink and then clarifies it. One Miller Lite. in a woman of average build finishing more than 2 hours earlier should be metabolized down to almost nothing by then. If that were true, there'd be no case. He asks if she'll do the field sobriety tests. She agrees straight away, no argument, no refusal, no lawyer talk, which as you'll see is the whole character of this stop. First is horizontal gaze nystagmus, the pen test. Before it even starts, the officer checks for medical explanations, equal pupil size, no resting nystagmus, equal tracking in both eyes. Those all come back normal, which rules out the innocent reasons an eye test can fail. >> All right. >> Do you want me to turn the car off? >> What do you want to do? You can leave it on or running. >> I'm keeping warm. >> Go back in front of my car for me, okay? No guns or knives on you? >> Uh, no. >> Okay. >> Then, the test itself. >> [music] >> He documents lack of smooth pursuit, onset of nystagmus before 45°, and distinct sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in both the left eye and the right. That's every clue the test has. And here's why that matters more than people realize, nystagmus is involuntary. You cannot practice it, >> [music] >> and you cannot will your eyes to stop doing it. It's the one test you can't beat by concentrating. >> Okay. All right, take a step forward for me. All right, put your feet together like mine, heel to heel, toe to toe, keep your arms at your side, and just relax, okay? Look straight ahead. You see this tip of my finger? Try not to move your head. >> Second is the walk and turn. And she's already losing it in the instruction phase. She can't hold the heel-to-toe starting position before the test even begins. Then, during it, uses her arms for balance, steps off the line, takes the wrong number of steps, turns improperly, and misses heel-to-toe. >> down the imaginary line, make a small turn, and then take nine more heel-to-toe steps back down that imaginary line with your arms at your side looking down at your feet. Counting out loud, it's going to look and sound like this. >> Okay. >> 1 2 3 So on and so forth until you get to 9. Assuming this is your lead foot. >> 4 5 6 7 8 9 >> Third is the one-leg stand. She puts her foot down, uses her arms for balance, and sways three tests. Every one of them failed. And through all of it, she's cooperative and pleasant, which is exactly why this footage is so unusual to watch. There's no fight here. Just a woman failing a set of tests while being perfectly nice about it. >> Your side, okay? Out of your pockets. >> 1 second, 2 second, 3 second, 4 second, 5 second, 6 second, 7 second, 8 second, 9 second, 10 second, 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 >> She's placed under arrest for driving while intoxicated, handcuffed, searched, and put in the back of the patrol car. >> That's it? >> Yes, sir. You can call Mitchell, the manager. >> Okay. Well, go ahead go ahead and put your hands behind your back for me, okay? All right, jump. Take a deep breath for me. Hey, Hey, uh >> I have a son who can >> Officer Smith and Corporal Quinton Reinhardt then inventory the vehicle before it's towed, standard procedure. And it protects everyone. And in the two center cup holders, >> [music] >> they find what the report describes as suspected vomit, which tells you roughly how the drive had been going before the lights came on at the Bentonville Police Department. [music] She's read the Arkansas statement of rights. She agrees to give a breath sample again. No refusal, no argument. There's a mandatory 20-minute observation period, >> [music] >> then she blows. >> All right. You're okay. >> I'm shaking. Please. >> Do you need an ambulance? >> No. Ready? >> Yeah. >> [snorts] >> I can get ready again. >> Yeah. >> .14 The legal limit in Arkansas, like most of the country, is .08. She's at nearly double it. So, one Miller Lite finished more than two hours before the stop against a reading of .14. Those two things cannot both be true. And that gap between what she said and what the machine measured is the entire case. >> All right. >> Can you move my hair? >> Your what? >> My hair. >> Where do you want it? >> Right here. >> Like this way? >> Out of my cheek. >> All right. Go this way. Um hey. This wasn't That wasn't too tight, was it? Okay. You can have a seat. >> She was charged with violating Arkansas's Omnibus DWI Act as a first offense. And with improper lane use, here's what makes this one worth watching. And it isn't the number. It's that everybody in this video behaved well. The officer was decent to her the entire time, friendly, patient, even laughing with her. She was polite, agreed to every test, and never once made it difficult. And none of that mattered. Because being cooperative isn't a defense, and being liked isn't a legal standard. He was kind to her, and he arrested her anyway. That's not a contradiction, that's the job done properly. So, my question is this. Does a stop like this change how you picture a DUI arrest? Because most of what goes viral is somebody screaming, and this is what the overwhelming majority of them actually look like. Tell me in the comments.
