what do you do for a living my teach
students how to drive safely
oh my God please help me I was just
trying to get myself my
rest
are killing me mother
when police in Pasco County Florida
pulled over a car sporting a student
driver sticker on the night of April 2nd
2022 they likely suspected to find a new
driver struggling to obey traffic laws
but instead of a student it was driving
instructor Gregory Sorensen and the
seemingly regular traffic stop was
quickly revealed to be much more serious
throughout the encounter Gregory would
claim to be in severe pain while facing
what he believed to be life-changing
charges we'll leave it up to you to draw
your own conclusion as you watch the
bizarre situation play out the officer
pulls Gregory Sorensen over after he
notices him drifting between traffic
Lanes after summoning backup the initial
officer administers several sobriety
tests including the classic challenge of
asking Gregory to walk in a straight
line down the side of the road
foreign
there you go
mother
as soon as he enters the car Gregory
appears to be an intense physical pain
however his night is about to get even
worse when police search his car empty
beer cans and a partially empty 24 pack
of natural light are found in his back
seat shortly after finding the alcohol
the officer returns to the squad car
I told you I shouldn't even
way
my whole life
is complete
I think it was that job
can I make a phone call not yet can I
take to pee you cannot take the you can
start we cannot take the okay
he's all right I have a cigarette
I'll adjust them for you okay okay thank
you sir I appreciate you being so
Cooperative means the story yes sir what
do you do for a living I was a truck
driver for
over 40 years and now I teach
students how to drive safely where are
you coming from
um my wife said hey you know let's stop
here in Stockyard and come home
she wanted to say I said nope time for
me to go home
my wrists are
killing me I know we got about another
minute and 30 seconds before I get out
of the car yes or happy shakespe and
patient yes sir
ready one two
all right yeah not much in the wrists
okay well I'll look at it again
when it's time for the breath test it
takes Sorensen upwards of five tries to
provide officers with an accurate
reading when the results come in Gregory
denies the irrefutable proof
as soon as the breath test proves that
Sorensen was driving drunk the arresting
officer becomes less responsive and
places Sorensen back into the patrol car
no they're locked
and I still didn't make my phone call we
have the Cuffs tighten up again okay
wholly
the officer's lack of response seems to
make Sorensen even more frustrated and
he grows increasingly insistent again I
call my wife
can I call my wife not right now
you got my cell phone I have it okay
mother
really
this is ridiculous
oh
my wrists are killing me
my wrists are killing me
can you please loosen the Cuffs up
I'm not going anywhere I didn't do
anything
please loosen
the cuffs
please
help me please
please help me
oh my God please help me
I can't
mind
rests
are killing me
hello
really
sure is there any way you can loosen up
my wrists because they boom went down
okay
just um talking to myself
sir is there any way you can loosen up
like a house there is Lucy they're gonna
get I caught it sir there or like
clamping down
on my wrists
Gregory's requests continue for a few
more minutes but they go unanswered when
the officer still doesn't loosen the
Cuffs Gregory tries another tactic sir
yeah you said I could have my cell phone
I have or anything because
and have a cigarette uh I don't have any
cigarettes for you uh they were in my
car and that's it and you said I could
have a cigarette and a phone call please
let me get that so I can notify my wife
and have a cigarette before I go in for
and hours of my life please
I don't think I told you could have a
cigarette yes but you did and he said
you didn't make phone call again no he
said I can use my cell phone and to call
my wife and
I was singing
really
wow
that's all you fought
uh in Orlando but what what what
uh DUI call example media he told me I
couldn't make a phone calls to my wife
with myself
and have a cigarette and then you went
oh I never told you that
wow hold on it's a guy you have a
cigarette in government
call my wife always need totally
redeemed on that Gregory Sorensen was
officially booked at Pasco County Jail
later that night a blood test revealed
that his blood alcohol level was about
0.2 nearly three times the legal limit
it's both ironic and concerning that a
driving instructor broke one of the most
basic rules of the road thankfully
nobody was hurt as a result of his
driving but he was still charged with a
DUI
