lot this

asked what medications I was on and I
actually didn't have to tell you what
medications I was on no I just asked
technically but I did tell you anyways
you looked at me crazy when I asked you
you you look to me like I because I
don't have to tell you that but I didn't
feel like I needed to I'm just trying to
understand
uh yeah I appreciate that you can you
can say a lot orse doesn't mean I
understand what it all means people
assign people assign here how if I put
it over
here which I did my own
self and I have a problem with drinking
myself as at a young age and I'm young
I'm only 20 I just turned 20 about 3
weeks
ago uh yeah well m right the fifth about
a month ago
yeah a month in two days three days four
and it's just you
know this just uh does something for me
to prove that I don't need to be
drinking at all and it also proves that
I need to control my mental health
better because I do stuff because of my
mental
health can I call my father once we're
done with this we can do that anything I
tell you know I know goh toward a well
but I'm not telling anything you I'm not
telling anything you wouldn't learn
[Music]
by this's just prove something to me
though that I need to that I need to be
take my
medication and if I were taking my
medication I wouldn't be drinking as
much and then if I weren't drinking as
much I would be oh my God it's facing
towards me the camera is literally
facing towards me it's going to see all
this I have to have it on I hope you
don't post just like you did that one
girl the E girl I do not post any of it
you know the eve girl yeah I know post
this I don't so what happens is I know
the eve girl personally because that's
my old roommate's roommate what happens
can you please not post try explain it
to you what happens is when CU she
assaulted a police officer I know when
this is done um it becomes public record
and there's everybody's going to see
what I'm saying right now there's
Facebook pages YouTube pages can you not
do any of this it is all public record I
have to have it on you have to post it
to Facebook I post it who posts it
there's there's a YouTube group I think
they're called
delete so they're going to see
everything I'm saying right now they
like why would they post that this is
embarrassing to me like because they get
views off of it well can you please can
you please like stop this like I can't
so by policy this would embarrass me I I
understand that by policy I have to have
my recording done or some I know because
if anything
happened but it's just not like I'm not
acting crazy I know you're I'm not
saying you
are I would just be really embarrassed
if this got posted to the internet
[Music]
I would be really embarrassed if this
guy Clos to the internet though I had a
girl
screaming you I'm not going to do that
I'm just embarrassed by
that this is embarrassing to
me I I understand that so they're going
to do it anyways they may who's say it's
it's a so I can see them technically you
could try I don't know if it would go
but
they're definitely going to post this
because I'm
[Music]
overreacting wow if I wouldn't have joke
tonight this would have been the
CRA it's my fault no I know it's
completely my fault
because I've just been waiting for one
of these days for where I up as a
person because of my mental health
because of drinking and I know make
mistakes sometimes they're wor others
I'm not okay people have way people have
made way worse mistakes than that's what
I'm saying sometimes they're worse than
others but I'm not poorest person out
there I'm not saying you it's I know you
aren't how we respond to them and move
forward from them that shows who we
are
and I hope and I imagine you would
prefer not to be back in this situation
in the future why won't be back here
doing this you should still come visit
that's okay just don't do this
I've seen you 100 times on G
Street times all right do I technically
have to do this so you don't if you were
to refuse I would have to place you
under a license suspension so definely
what does that mean means you would not
be permitted to drive in the state of
Ohio or anywhere or just Ohio so it's
the state of Ohio and it may also affect
you in West Virginia because I believe
West Virginia call compact state so if
we suspend you in Ohio can you read me
my rights everything I did read your
right you told me you understood them
actually you told me that you knew them
already too I know some of them okay I'm
a history teacher this is really really
hard so where we're at is if you were
I'm a history professor at Rog
University this is terrible if you were
to take this test and test over the
limit it would be a 90day suspension if
you were to refuse this test it's anate
onee
suspension okay so that's for you're
right I not going to force you to R into
the machine nor
but this would be better than the other
I I can't tell you which way is better
okay that's the one year suspension is
this is one year suspension is less than
the 90 days so it's it's up to you
whether you want to we're staring each
other in the eyes right now I'm
just so would you which one which one do
you prefer so we can't unfortunately
give legal advice on that you can though
I can't technically you can give legal
advice okay by by policy and and by by
what department tell tells me I can't
give you believe all this I can tell you
that if you were to take the test to be
over the limit it's 90 days uh if you
were to take the test be under the limit
what if I don't take the test at all
then what happens the onee suspension
it's called a
refusal I know my rights I know some
rights and I think this would be better
but also giving into this is not better
okay so we're at a point fine give it so
we'll take a real big deep breath we'll
seal your lips around that little part
you're going to blow real hard into it
can we put the camera away you're
blowing up a big balloon and can you
point the camera away from my face if I
scoot over a little bit how's that a
little better all right we big like BL
this because I'm refusing as my actual
rights if you want to refuse the test
you can refuse the test you're going to
blow real hard into it so you're
completely out of breath right keep
going till you're completely out of
breath I got to do this twice a year or
once a year anyway so I understand
I'll all right
the good news or the bad news I know
it's bad well no I saying it was a good
test that long enough the bad news we
got to do it one more time here in about
two
minutes right can you point the camera
no I can't turn where it's at all right
it's the best I can do right
now can I put it away

times no that's all we
needed all right so what I can do now is
I let you have a seat back in there can
I sit right here so I can't have you use
your phone next to the machine because
the machine can pick up cell phone
signals and throw an a then we're right
back can I sit down here with you guys
and I don't no no in fact if you're okay
I the bigger one want be big one with
window I
stand let explain two things to you I
record me I know that you do first thing
is this is the form that I read to you
because the machine threw an error I am
not going to have you test again okay so
at this time you are not suspended you
are just going to have to go to court on
this do you understand I will do this
okay
so I'm testify what I think okay right
why will tell you that if the machine
had been working correctly it would have
said that you were more than double
legal limit almost triple illegal limit
that's what you think it would say that
that's what it did say actually but I
thought it didn't work because it gave
me an air at the end it's not off valid
test all right you don't know what it
said I that's that's what on if I were
to put you back on the machine I'm
guessing that's what it's going to say
again you're guessing which would be bad
bad news for you right all right so I'm
going to ask you your signature right
here you're not admitting just said I
read you this form okay so what am
I says the advice on the back of the
form is read to me and I'm going to
receive a copy of
it you what so what I'm signing because
just acknowledging that I read you the
form that's all that is I'm going to
give you a copy of this one I didn't
read correctly so you don't know what I
did it's not that you read it's that I
read it to you remember when you were
sitting in the holding so and I was
reading to you yes sir but I mean like
