So that's what Sergeant Sod was saying is if we had intention of him driving like if we can articulate that he was going to drive intoxic but he may not >> like that's the thing he doesn't remember. >> That's the thing though if he's saying what he's saying you know although he doesn't remember he's been here for at least >> hold on. But that's the thing like say >> no. Yeah, you did it right to drive, you know, like >> if the car was operating, >> but like that's what we were torn at first because we didn't know if it was like a medical if he was like throwing up on himself cuz we saw every we saw the vomit on the outside and the bomb >> that that's my fault.

I drink maybe like >> say like twice >> twice a month, you know. >> Excuse me, sir. >> Yes. Yes. So, if you can just stand up in front of me here. Um, so I'm going to here you come over here. So, I'm going to perform a standard field sobriety test on you. Okay. >> Um, do you have any medical conditions that prohibit you from doing the test? >> Do you wear glasses? >> No. >> You wear contacts? No. Nothing at all? So, legs, back, ankles, everything's good. >> Okay. So, all I'm going to need you to do is follow the tip of this pen. >> Okay. Can you see this? >> Yes. >> So, I want you to follow it with your eyes and your eyes only. Do not move your head. >> Okay. Hold on. Let's stay close. here. Just watch. I'm going to have to use this line here. >> All right. So, what you're going to do is you're going to come over to these concrete here. Just face me right on this blue line. >> So, you're going to use this blue line for the test. Okay. Absolutely. I'm going to demonstrate the test for you. You are not to begin the test until I tell you to begin. >> Perfect. >> Okay. So, just hang out a second. Okay. So, the next portion of the test is a walking test. Okay? Like I said, I'm going to demonstrate it. You are not to begin until I tell you to begin. Okay. >> Perfect. >> So, you could use this line um direction that you're going to follow. Okay? So, what you're going to do is you're going to take your left foot and you're going to place it on that line. You can do that for me now. >> And then you're going to take your right foot and you're going to touch it. I didn't tell you to do anything yet. You're going to take your right foot and you're going to touch it heel to toe in front of your left foot. Okay? And you are to remain in that position until I complete the demonstration of the test and I tell you to begin. Okay? >> So place your right foot in front of your left foot touching heel to toe >> and remain in that position until I complete the demonstration. Okay? So this is what you're going to do. You're going to take nine heel to toe steps and you're going to count each step out loud. Okay? So it's going to look something like this. One 2 3 But you're going to do nine. >> Okay? >> And when you get to your ninth step, you're going to leave your lead foot on the ground. You're gonna take a series of small steps to turn around and you're going to take an additional nine heel totoe steps back. Okay, >> sounds good. >> Do you understand? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> So, like one 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Turn back. >> Yep. The way I demonstrated. One. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [Music] [ __ ] disgusting. Okay, the next phase of the test is a one leg stand test. Okay, you can pick whichever leg of your choosing. I'm going to demonstrate the set to you again, and you don't have to be getting into. Okay, so it's going to look something like this. You're going to take whichever foot you choose. You're going to lift it approximately 6 in off the ground with your toe pointing forward. And you're going to count out loud. 100 1 2 10003 until I tell you to stop. Going something like this. 1001,002 1003 1004 and so on until I tell you to stop. Okay. Do you understand? >> Understood. >> Sure. You can be >> 100,001 10 cool. This is 100,00 1 I'm sorry 1001 10 1002 1003 1004 1005 1006 10007 1007 1008 1009 1001 1002 1003 100 >> All right, you can stop. He's a 25. >> All right, listen sir. You're going to be placed under arrest tonight, okay? For driving under the influence. But I wasn't driving. So that's the thing, right? >> So let me just explain something to you. >> Yeah. >> All right. Just hear me out. >> So >> I never drove. >> Okay. Can I can I can I finish? >> So based on everything that you told us, right? You came back here completely blacked out according to you. >> Correct. >> You had no idea what your intent was at that time. >> Right. So all you need to be doing is sitting in that driver's seat >> and that's it. >> Yeah. The vehicle doesn't even have to technically be actually transport. >> So I mean I can smell the alcohol on your breath. >> Uhhuh. >> And >> No, absolutely. I'm obliterated. >> And you also didn't do the testing correctly. >> Yes. >> TDS. >> TDS. >> Evidence bag in anybody's car. >> Say it again. Say it again. >> Pocket right here. >> No, it is not weed. >> Whatever was in your pocket. >> What? What was that? >> I don't know. Only you would know, man. It's not my pocket. I just >> Let me see.

I didn't get >> evidence bag. >> I used mine before. >> Earlier tonight as well. >> I used mine earlier tonight. >> What do you need? >> An evidence bag. >> We've all used our evidence bags today. All right. One more. [Music] >> What plants are these, bro? All right. >> So, I never drove. That's the thing, right? Like I I I understand like me about people like [ __ ] I never [ __ ] drove. So, >> nothing wrong. >> I wasn't expecting to find >> I didn't think so. I didn't think I didn't I don't even know how they got there. >> I don't do coke. You could Oh, >> that got planted on me. >> That got planted on. >> No, I swear to God it did. not planted on me, but I must have been holding it for somebody. >> You have any questions? >> Yeah, I I do. So, I didn't drive, right? And they're just pulling [ __ ] out of my pocket now, right? >> So, all right. So, I'll explain the process to you. I I was here the whole time. I'll explain it to you. So, if you're intoxicated in the driver's seat with the key in the ignition, the law will say that you have intent to drive, >> right? That's how they found you. Then there's something called totality circumstances. >> You admitted to being drunk, >> we still gave you the benefit of the doubt by doing the test, >> which I passed. >> You could have been You failed. >> You failed. >> You could have been arrested. No, one second. One second. You could have been arrested for any of those other things. Still gave you the benefit of the doubt and you failed the test. Okay? So that's why now you being placed one second and then you can speak. So I want I want you to be very clear. Then you were placed under arrest and the reason why they're searching you is because there's something called search incident to arrest. So when someone's placed under arrest, you're allowed to search that person. Okay? >> So that's why that's why they're in your body. How do you >> um I'm the DWI expert performed three tests on you today. >> What's hard though? >> All right. It'll be in the report. >> Okay. >> So, was it >> cuz I can't tell you. >> Was it the best? >> I can't tell you. I didn't conduct the test. >> Okay. So, >> it will be in it will be indicated in the report. >> Understood. >> Yeah. >> I never drove >> again. I I the first part I explained to you already. >> Yeah. >> So, the law says you intent with the intent. The key is in the ignition. >> Let me tell you something. If you were laying in the backseat of your car, keys in your pocket with a pillow, you have no intent of driving that car. >> When officers find you in the driver's seat, in the ignition, >> ready to rock and go. Let me know when you're done. >> You had it. You had >> or I can um understand. >> I can I can take them up with kids. Explain. Yep. Yeah, you can do that. >> I can take them up with kids. Yeah.
