I'm not going to lie to you. I don't know. I don't know if it even does. I I don't know. >> I'm going to read the form to her for the breath. >> Just read it for me. Okay. >> No, they say Yeah, they say you can't put them in there with them while they're 20 minute anymore. [sighs] >> Yeah. >> What are you using for the 20 minutes? >> Um, just a clock. Oh, yeah. My watch. Yeah, it's not. Yeah. So, um I I'll you want I'll just call you when it's ready. Okay. >> I'm curious. What's this 20 minute thing? is a 20-minute observation. We just have to watch you. I'm going to explain after this. Okay. So, let me just read it. Okay. You have been arrested for driving while intoxicated. New Jersey State statute 394-50. The law requires you to submit samples of your breath for the purpose of testing to 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 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 will 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 will be subject to various penalties, including license revocation of up to 20 years, a fine of 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 the court for any other offense of which you're found guilty. You have no legal right to have an attorney, physician, or anyone else present 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 to 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 refusal to submit to breath testing. I repeat, the law requires you to submit samples of your breath for testing. Will you submit the samples of your breath? >> Sure. Okay. So, this is the part that the 20-minute observation. Um, it entails I just have to I have to check your mouth to make sure there's nothing in it. Just stick out your tongue and lift your tongue. Okay. Make sure you Okay. I just have to make sure there's no debris. Okay. So, the 20-minute observation um is 4:12 now. So, it'll end at 4:32. Just 20 minutes. My ID is not either one of those. >> No, you just you get you give me your right here. >> Yeah. No, I got my deposits for work. >> So, for your wellbeing, anytime we do search for kits, the large sum of money is on my body camera. I like to bring it to the owner money cuz I don't want our drivers to have access to anything. >> No, that's not going to me. >> No, it has it has to be >> [ __ ] neighborhood. >> Okay. I don't even know what's in the last one. Honestly, the blue one is all my deposit. >> All right. >> Thank you. >> All right. Listen, let me let me explain to you. So So the 20-minute observation, um I have to observe you for 20 minutes. Um any burping, coughing, or spitting up or anything like that is going to cause me to have to restart the 20 minutes. So if that were if we're at the 19th minute, we're almost there and you burp or something, we have to start at 20 minutes all over again. If that happens too many times, then we charge you with the refusal. Okay. >> Okay. I'm just I'm just explaining things. >> Yes. Yes. In 20 minutes. >> No, I won't blow out. >> No, you have we have to wait 90 minutes because the reason for that is it allows the the alcohol that may be in your >> be in my system. >> No, no, no, no, no, no, no. If it if it's in your mouth, the 20 minutes, it's what we're required to do is dissipate. It gives extra time to dissipate cuz if you blow now as opposed to waiting the 20 minutes, it could cause your blood alcohol results to be higher than what they really are. So, that's why we wait the 20 minutes. Right now you have um 18 and 1/2 minutes left. Actually 18 minutes. Okay. >> Is it optional? Can is made me get out of here quicker if I blow now cuz >> No, you can't blow now. You have to wait 20 minutes. >> All right. We already you know we know we've established I drive too much. Why? >> Yeah. Yeah. I just cuz I have to pull out there. >> Is there anything we can do about the impact? >> I can't. So, so, so it's for 12 hours. It's just 12 hours. I live paycheck to paycheck before paycheck. I support my dad. [snorts] >> Have you ever got arrested before? >> For driving on a suspected. >> Did you get a half years ago? I got arrested at the liquor store. >> Did you get arrested for DUI in the past? >> Never. >> Never. Okay. It's your first DUI. So, usually usually usually they don't throw the book at you at your first DUI. [clears throat] >> I'm not. Yes, I'm worried about that. But right now, my first concern is I cannot afford to get my piece of [ __ ] off. My whole family came. Listen, >> I've got a 100 bucks in my pocket. It's that I can't imp surprise surprise. [laughter] I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. Why is one thing my car and impound and not being able to get to work? It's mandatory for us. >> I know. I know. I know. >> I know. I understand. I know you're I I see that you're upset and I listen, just because you messed up, it doesn't make you a bad person. >> And I honestly I don't even feel as if I messed up about being a dick. I got pulled over. I listened. I get where I drove from there to there and I [ __ ] up. But like I pulled the [ __ ] over. >> I know. >> The act already happened. >> I know. I know. >> In the future, listen, if you do, don't drive. Don't drive at all. >> Hey, clearly if I could afford an Uber, I would have done it if I can't cuz I can't even afford my car. So, what the [ __ ] is [laughter] my brother's [ __ ] third birthday? Are you kidding me? >> Just about 15 minutes 16 minutes left of the of the thing. Okay, it's okay. I understand you're upset. I understand. Um, I just have to gather some just basic pedigree information. Okay. Um, what's your what's your phone number? >> 881. And you live at Okay. Um, are you right-handed or left-handed? >> Uh, right. >> Right-handed. >> Uh, it asked me in the report. Yeah. I don't know why. I don't know why. I don't know. All right. Um, are you single, married, divorced, widowed, or separated? >> Single. >> Okay. Are you divorced or you're single? You said >> uh never married. >> Okay. All right. >> Okay. Single.

That's That's your business. >> Please don't tell. >> No, we're not. We're not I'm not We're not We can't We don't We can't disclose that. Um, what's the address for Pep Boys? >> 1072 Route 9. >> 1072 Route 9. What town? >> Parliament. >> Okay. So much day off tomorrow. Supposed to be off. I volunteer door. [ __ ] >> That's a mistake.

Whether I was slipped off the steering wheel and then I went to sleep. >> I get it from point A to point B. I get it. >> And listen, also the concern is cuz it's happened and that's why you know they build the laws the way they are. It happens that it happened. >> No, listen. It happens that if okay. All right. Yeah. you know, and then I let you go and let's say call your sister and she comes and picks you up from the scene and we leave. Um, we we obviously we wouldn't be allowed to tow your car so it stays there and then in the next 12 hours it's on us. The li the liability is on us that we let you go because you can get back in the car and drive. >> Is there any way we can skip the something here? >> We can't. It has to be a secured policy and I'm going to lose my cars are going to take it because I have less than $100. I cannot get it out in my home. I'm going to lose everything. [laughter] I can't afford to get it out of the DUI. I'll take the jail. Put me in jail. Okay. >> You don't go to jail. You stupid [ __ ] car. >> We have to. We're not allowed to not. We have to. >> Can we pay the fee? Can we attach it to my car? Is it going to be useful? >> It's You don't even It doesn't even It's not paid to us. It's a third party.

You're uh so the car is held for 12 hours. After the 12 hours is when you can come pick it up. You have to come here to get the sheet to sign and then you bring it there. It has the address right on the top. But um right now it's you're uh you're arrested, let's say around, I think it was around 4:00. So you can get the car tomorrow at 400 p.m. >> It's crazy. >> Anytime. 4 hours. Please, please, right now. We're going to >> I know I know I'm not being a dick, but like [ __ ] Give me it. Let's go.

Cuz people walk from that bar too. They walk back and what if while somebody was walking back you hit them and you killed them. Then you would be going to jail. >> But that's at the same time. >> All right. Listen, we have 10 10 minutes.

You could have called your sister from the bar and pick you up from there. I can't believe that time for me is my sister. [laughter] She's got work at 6 a.m. Too bad she's coming out. Guess it depends on what level and I get slam.

I was found responsive four times. >> I got one. >> Not one of those times did I ever attempt to pull over to just park the goddamn car. never got to I did the right thing as much as leaving wasn't the right thing. But once I left and realized I wasn't good, I did the right thing. Now I have to do you understand how discouraging all of it is? Like I am trying so hard to not be discouraged with all of it. I should have been in jail years ago for this [ __ ] Not to have a hope. Now I'm logically in a sense making better decision to please, you know. I tried a I tried counseling all it worked.

Hallelujah. anxiety. I want you to take a deep breath and always with one long breath. the rest of the process when I'm doing it. >> So, what you're going to do, you're going to put some lips here.

Uh my body cameras recording audio and video. Um, so Laura was arrested for DWI. All right. Um, this is a potential liability form. It explains that um, she can't get back in her car and drive for 12 hours. Her car was impounded. Um, >> how much that's going to cost to get it out? >> I don't know. The tow companies set their own there was a third party thing, so they're contracted with different police departments. So, um, we go off a list. Uh, but in 12 hours, she was arrested at 3:53 a.m. At 3:53 p.m. is when she's eligible to get her vehicle released to her. Um, she'd have to come back here, come to this window, give her a name. Uh, I'll let the incoming shift know that she'll be coming. And she gets a a piece of paper, the officer signs it, the supervisor signs it, she signs it, and then she takes that paper to the towyard. It has the address right on the top. They're all within 10 15 minute radius. Um, usually Old Bridge and like right on Route 9 by Texas Road. Um, and uh, when she takes it over there, they just they release it there and that's it. Um, the potential liability is stating that you're taking responsibility for her in the next 12 hours that if she were to get back in a car and drive and or anything were to happen as a result of that, you both would be held liable for the repercussions from that. Okay. >> All right. I'm going to give you a copy of this to read the detail. Um the signature line is right right over here. >> Mhm. And uh she will be out momentarily. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> And this is yours to keep. All right. Thank you. >> Be right up. >> [music] [music]
