We're going to take take our time with that one, okay? So, here's your Miranda warning, all right? You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you while you're being questioned. If you cannot afford to to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning, if you wish. You may decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. Do you understand these rights as I have explained them to you? Right. Yes. And having these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to us now? No. Okay. All right, I just need your signature right here. Bottom. Okay, and then this one's a little bit longer, like I said, so just bear with me. Okay. All right, you have been arrested for driving while intoxicated, N.J.S.A. 39:4-50. The law requires you to submit samples of your breath for the purpose to determine the purpose to test and determine alcohol content. A record of the taking of breath samples, including the test results, will be made. Upon your request, a copy of that record will be made available to you. After you provide samples of your breath for testing, you have the right, at your own expense, to have a person or physician of your own selection take independent samples of your breath, blood, or urine for independent testing. If you refuse to provide samples of your breath, you will receive a separate summons for the refusal. A court may find you guilty of both refusal and driving while intoxicated. If a court finds you guilty of the refusal, you'll be subject to various penalties, including license revocation of up to 20 years, a fine of up to $2,000, installation of ignition interlock, and referral to an intoxicated driver resource center. These penalties may be in addition to penalties imposed by the court for any other offense of which you were found guilty. You have no legal right to have an attorney, physician, or anyone else present for the purpose of taking breath samples. You have no legal right to refuse to give or delay giving samples of your breath. Any response from you that is ambiguous or conditional in any respect to my request that you provide breath samples will be treated as a refusal to submit to breath testing. Even if you agree to take the test, but then do not follow my instructions, do not properly perform the test, or do not provide sufficient breath samples, I will charge you with a refusal to submit to breath testing. I repeat, the law requires you to submit samples of your breath for testing. Will you submit samples of your breath? Yes. Okay, great. We're just waiting for the machine to warm up. Once it's ready to go, we'll get you in the back and get those breath samples, okay? Okay. >> [cough] [clears throat] >> Robert, is the patrol camera here, or is it in patrol? You see it?
