Dominica Gonzalez Escobar, you have been arrested for driving while intoxicated under NJSA 394-50. The law requires that you submit samples of your breath for the purpose of testing to determine alcohol content. A record of the taking of the 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 have provided 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'll be issued a separate summon 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 up to 20 years, a fine up to $2,000, installation of an ignition interlock, and a referral to an intoxication driver resource center. These penalties may be in addition to penalties imposed by the court for any other offense of which you are found guilty. You have no legal right to have an attorney, physician, or anyone else present for you for the purpose of the of for the purpose of taking the 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 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 refusal to submit breath testing. I repeat, the law requires for you to submit samples of your breath for testing. Will you submit samples of your breath? >> Can I ask a question or no? >> It's a yes or no. I'll read it again. >> I repeat, the law requires you submit samples of your breath for testing. Will you submit to the samples of your Will you submit the samples of your breath? It's a yes or a no. >> Can I ask? >> It's I cannot provide legal advice. >> Can I ask what happens if I say no? >> Then I will All right. >> Okay. >> I'll repeat the section. If you refuse to provide samples of your breath, you'll be issued a separate summon for the refusal. A court may find you guilty of both refusal or driving while intoxicated. I'm not going to force you to, okay? I'm just advising you. And I'll repeat the last line again. I repeat, the law requires you to submit samples of your breath for testing. Will you submit samples of your breath? >> Yes or no? >> I was just I I need I need a yes or no though, D. Will you submit samples to your of your breath for testing? >> I'm just anxious because what if I don't get granted symptoms of the country? No, we're we're 20 steps ahead right now.

You have been arrested for for driving while intoxicated under NJSA 39 col4-50. The law requires you submit samples of your breath for the purpose of testing to determine alcohol content. A record of the taking of the 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 have provided 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 breath samples, you will be issued a separate traffic summon or ticket for the refusal. A court may find you guilty of both refusal and driving while intoxicated. If a court finds you guilty of a refusal, you will be subject to various penalties, including license revocation up to 20 years, a fine up to $2,000, installation of an ignition interlock, and referral to an intoxicated driver resource center. These penalties may be in addition to penalties imposed by a court for any other offense or which you are found guilty.

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 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 refusal to submit to breath testing.
