That's correct. >> Right here. Right here. Steak. Okay. Take it out of there for me. Okay. The reason I'm stopping you is you're just speeding. Okay. >> I I I already know, boss, man, cuz I'm trying to >> Yeah. You're going 67 67 and 35. >> I don't really know 67. >> Late on a cold winter night in Park Forest, Illinois. An officer clocks a car doing 67 in a 35 and pulls it over. Beating by itself gives an officer a lawful reason to stop a vehicle. What neither of them knows yet is that this simple traffic stop is about to turn into a much longer night. >> All right. Aside from that that open bottle of liquor right there. >> What? >> Right there. >> That's not even mine. >> Damn, >> man. that you could you could check me right now on my foot. >> Just do me a favor. Keep your hands up on the steering wheel for me. I'mma talk to you right there. Okay. >> While the driver digs for his insurance, the officer spots an open bottle of liquor in the car. In Illinois, it is illegal to carry open alcohol in the passenger area of a vehicle, whether or not the driver has been drinking. That open bottle and the smell of alcohol give the officer a reason to look closer. I know, man. I'm just grabbing. >> All right. How much have you had to drink? >> I had a little shot. That >> turn around. Turn around. I'm going to roll just zip this down real quick. >> Just a little shot. >> Yep. >> Put your hands down. You're straight. Come over here. So, we're out the road. You How many shots have you had? >> Just one. >> What was it? >> That was early. >> A shot of what? >> I had a shot of tequila. I don't drink cheap ass vodka bros, man. No [ __ ] No [ __ ] You said >> the driver admits he had a shot of tequila. He says it was only one and that he is not drunk. But an admission of drinking on top of speeding and an open bottle is enough for the officer to move to the next step. Field sobriety testing. >> Let's keep I know, man. Just just bear with me. Okay. >> All right. >> Arms are like this. Okay. I got to read this, like I said, verbatim. Okay. I'm going to check your eyes. Please remove your glasses. Please look at the top of the stimulus. Keep your head still and follow the top of the stimulus when I move it. Only move your eyes, not your head. You understand? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. So, the stimulus is going to be my pen. Okay. >> No. Nope. Only only move your eyes. >> Nope. Only your eyes. >> Field sobriety tests are standardized. The officer starts with the eyes, looking for an involuntary jerking that alcohol can bring on. Then the walk and turn and the one leg stand. The driver says an old leg injury keeps him from doing them. Officers are trained to note a claimed injury, but refusing or struggling with the tests does not end the investigation. >> Your left foot on the line. Now, put your right foot in front of your left foot with your right heel touching your left toe. Do not begin until I tell you to. When I say begin, take nine heel to toe steps down the line. Turn around and take nine heel to toe steps back. Make your turn by keeping your front foot on the line and then use your other foot to to turn yourself around with several small steps. Keep your arms at your >> The officer places the driver under arrest for driving under the influence. Under Illinois implied consent law. Anyone who drives on a public road has already agreed to chemical testing. Refusing that test carries its own automatic license suspension separate from the DUI charge itself. my leg up. >> All right. All right. Just go ahead. Put your hands behind your back. All right. Now, you're going to be placed under arrest for driving under the influence. Okay. >> Come on, bro. Relax. Don't resist. Don't Don't Don't resist. >> Relax, man. You don't need to resist the charges, >> bro. Y'all going serious. >> You are driving intoxicated. >> No, I'm not. >> Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Don't >> stop fighting. Instead of complying, the driver pulls away and fights being handcuffed. Officers have to physically place him in the squad car, resisting a lawful arrest as a separate crime, even if the original charge is later dropped. >> South 43 arresties kicking the door to the squad. 23. >> Okay. >> Did he have like cups? >> We're going to have to subdue him cuz he's This is probably broke now. Watch this. That go that go touch the top. Ain't going fast. >> Quit kicking the door. You're going to get charged. >> Quit kicking the door. >> You want to get charged with another felony. >> Sit over there in the seat like you're supposed. >> Then from the back seat of the squad car, he begins kicking the door hard enough to damage it. Damaging a police vehicle is criminal damage to government property. And in Illinois, that can be charged as a felony. One traffic stop has now become three separate offenses. A speeding ticket could have ended this in five minutes. Instead, it became a felony night. What would you have done differently?
