Would you mind telling me again what what you remember happening? I literally was at the the stop sign right here and got rear ended. I was about to make a left. So, you were stopped in traffic like going to make a left here on this street slammed in me. Okay. Do you know which car hit you? The car. Like I don't know what uh the car in front here. Not this Kia. The one in front. The car in front of it. Yeah. Okay. And are you injured at all? I don't I feel like I'm, you know, like just You think you're worked up? Yeah, maybe. Were you wearing your seat belt? Yes, of course. And did your airbags go off? No. Okay. But I I just I don't know yet. But I'm I am shooken up and I don't know. Yeah. Or at least you don't have any physical injuries. I mean, you may you may experience some pain later cuz usually, you know, the shock of a an accident maybe like tomorrow you might feel some type. And I've been in a wreck before that's been my fault and shattered my arm with my airbag. So, I kind of know that feeling, but I feel like I'm just so angry right now because like I'm I'm very grateful that everybody's okay, but god forbid like a child in the car or a baby. Like, I just don't know. And I'm just No, I totally understand. Yeah. So, did the fire department look at you when they came out? No, I I didn't sign anything. Okay.

The the I mean, in my opinion, the driver that caused this. No. Well, so let me explain something to you. F first. Um with DUIs in the state of Florida, um we can't immediately administer a breathalyzer to somebody. We have to actually conduct an investigation beforehand. Okay. So, the officers that have um done this traffic crash investigation um are done with the investigation and they've called me. I'm a DUI investigator and they're concerned maybe you have been drinking tonight. Okay. Can we just do a breathalyzer? Well, like I said just a minute ago, it's it's that's not how it works in Florida. We actually have to do the investigation to determine whether or not I honestly feel like I that's because I gave them a hard time. So, and you know what? And if that's the case, then you didn't give me a hard time. So there we I don't have any ill feelings about you know what I mean? Like it's not I mean I just I I'm I feel very passionately about this and I would never make I just I feel like I would never make that decision.

Um two sangrias. Okay. And that was it. And then we went shopping in High Park. Okay. And I was on my way home. Okay. Okay. Um, the law tells me I have to read you your rights. Okay? And I know for some people that seems scary. The Miranda rights, but it's not because it doesn't mean you're under arrest. Okay? There's a lot of like, "Oh, I saw this on TV and this means I'm under arrest." Not true. Okay. You're not under arrest. Okay. Are you willing to answer questions or make a statement without an attorney being present? Uh, I don't know. Listen, you can decide as you go if you want. I mean, you don't have to tell me yes or no now. It's totally up to I'm trying to be as cooperative as possible. But if I am injured, I don't want to I totally understand. I totally understand. And I tell you what, even to make you feel a little bit more comfortable, I won't even ask you any questions, okay? Just to circumvent this whole you making a statement thing, okay? But what I would like to do is just take a look at your check your eyes. Sure. Okay. Um, now you already told me you're not you don't have any physical injuries. You don't feel like you're severely injured right now. Do you have any medical problems? Taking any medications for anything? Um, I take I take anti-depressants. I'm on birth control. I'm on aderall.

I'm actually going to have you stand right over here and look at me this way cuz I don't want you looking at the traffic. Um, can you put your feet together and then arm straight down to your side? Now, I have to shine a light towards your towards your eyes while I do this. I'm going try not going to um I'm try not going to blind you, but can you move your hair back? Yeah. All right. All right.

Are you willing to do that? No. Okay. Now, I have to read you something since you said you didn't want to take the breath test. Okay. It involves what happens to your driver's license. Ma'am, officer part, I am now requesting that you submit to a lawful test of your breath for the purpose of determining its alcohol content. Will you take the test I'm requesting? No. Okay. If you refuse to take the test I have requested of you, your driving privilege will be suspended for a period of 1 year for a first refusal or 18 months if your driving privilege has been previously suspended or if you have been previously fined under Florida statute 327.35215 for refusing to submit to a lawful test of your breath, urine, or blood. Do you understand what I've just read to you? No, I want a lawyer present. Okay. Do you understand what I just read to you? No. What do you not understand? All of it. I want a lawyer present for all of this. I understand and I'll I'll get to that in just a second. But I I don't understand it. And I want a lawyer present. Well, explain to me what you don't understand. All of it. And I want a lawyer present. Point blank. Period. Okay, that's fine. And you'll be able to call your lawyer here in a minute, but I need to make sure you understand what I just read to you. No, I don't understand it because I should not be in the back of the car right now or arrested for wanting to talk to a member of my family. That has nothing to do with you. Attorney, that has nothing to do with you understanding. my has nothing to do with you understanding what I just read. I don't understand it. You want me to read it again? Nope. I want an attorney. So, what this is saying is if you refuse the breath test, your license is going to be suspended for one year. Okay. And I'm going to challenge that. Do you understand that? Nope. You don't understand that your license is going to be suspended for one year. Why not? Because I didn't do anything wrong. Okay, that can be your defense. That's fine. What I'm telling you is what the law is. You're not saying it's an immediately that is what is going to an effect. That is a chance that I'm willing to take if I'm not taking um that's not how it works. What happens is if you refuse the breath test um your license gets suspended immediately. Why? Because that's what the law is. That's weird. But I didn't I didn't make the law. I'm just telling you what it is. Yeah. I actually know the law though and my boyfriend that didn't happen to him. So that's fine. So, you understand it's going to be suspended for a year if you don't take the breath test. I'm not accepting that. I want my attorney present. Point blank. Period. That's it. I want my attorney present. Okay. So, I got to read you this part about your attorney. Okay. And it would be great if you guys could just make things a little bit more comfortable. I did not do anything wrong. Okay. I got rear ended tonight. Okay. Your right to remain silent has nothing to do with taking the approved chemical tests for the purpose of determining the alcohol and or drug content of your blood. Also, your right to having a lawyer present before you make any statement and during any questioning has nothing to do with approved chemical tests for the purpose of determining the alcohol and or drug content of of your blood.
