Can you just stay with her real quick? >> Yep. >> All right. Can I just come talk to you for a minute?

I know that's putting you in a difficult situation. >> Hello. >> But do you have to Okay. It's just she could have >> I know. >> She could have really hurt someone and I I don't know how often she does this but and the way that she's acting towards you, that's not >> fair. >> Uh >> I'm sorry.

I mean, if you just want to verbally tell me. >> I can't. I can't do >> I mean, you already told me once I got here. >> I feel she's trying to protect me. >> Yeah. Well, she is also a She's also a grown uh grown adult. >> I don't know what to do. I'm sorry. >> You don't have to apologize. >> I just don't know what to do. Cuz I'm wrong either way. >> I'll get I'll give you a minute. Okay? Where's the damage at? >> It's right here, girl. >> grass, that's about it. >> So the So the So the middle lane ends, then the median starts. >> Yeah. >> She smashed the median head-on, ripped off her oil pan, went through the grass, like I said, tore the grass up a little bit, it's really not a whole lot, and basically just drove Went back up on the median again. Same kind of concept, just tore the grass up a little bit, and then finished here. But I didn't hit any signs, no no property damage that I could see besides just all that grass. >> Okay. >> The curb is what did all the damage. >> I'm going to call 30 real quick. >> Okay. >> Her deal's not valid anyways, so >> Okay. >> All right. >> Yep, I'm done. >> Okay. >> The first question is whether the DUI arrest held up without a field sobriety test. Under Florida statute section 316. 193 DUI requires proof that normal faculties were impaired. A breathalyzer is one way to establish that. It is not the only way. All four tires were blown. The oil pan was ruptured. The officer stated on camera the subject appeared drunk and noted a detectable odor of alcohol. Florida courts have held that officer observations of impairment combined with physical crash evidence constitute valid probable cause. Florida does not require an officer to witness someone actively driving before making a DUI arrest. Circumstantial evidence of prior operation is legally sufficient. The subject's presence inside her own wrecked car combined with the witness account from the scene satisfies that standard. >> What's that? >> I hope you do Even them, bro. Like I'm not even like their workers. Like any abuse tell like to go this way. Like I hope you do. >> What's that? >> That you're a mean officer. I hope you do. >> Okay. >> I hope you do. I really hope you do. Especially with me and Skylar with like sexual abuse and like everything else. Like I really hope you do. Like I really do. Especially with sexual abuse. I hope you do. What's up? Oh, I can't talk to like anybody normal abuse. I cannot, right? I'm sorry. I'm sorry for talking in any type of way that wasn't like normal. >> Stay out of the >> Any other abuse. >> Stay out of the road. >> No, I'm sorry. >> of the road. >> Like yeah, of course. I'll get out of the road. I'm so sorry. Do you feel bad? Like I'm so [ __ ] sorry, bro. Shut the [ __ ] up, Kaylee. I really do hope you feel like so For anybody that feels any type of way, that feels in accordance with in accordance of use. I really hope you feel But I'm just crazy, right? >> I'm not saying anything. >> No, I'm I'm great, right? >> Okay. Would you like to sit down? >> Not at all. >> Okay. You want to back up a little bit? >> No, I'm straight. >> You sure? >> 100% >> Okay. >> No need for back up for things that are right. >> What's that? >> No need for back up for things that are right. >> I have no idea what you're talking about. >> 100%, right? No need for back up for things that are right. No need for back up for things that I'm talking about, right? Right? Everything I'm talking about is real. Everything I'm talking about is valid, right? Right? Right. Please tell me everything I'm talking about is valid. >> Step back. >> Step back? Oh my god, I'm sorry. Is everything I'm talking about valid? >> I have no idea what you're talking about. >> Exactly. That's what I'm talking about. Nothing that I'm talking about is valid. >> Do not touch me, okay? >> Oh, yeah. Nothing will touch you. 100% will not touch you because nothing is valid. Nothing is valid. >> valid. Nothing is valid. 100% Nothing is valid. Okay, thank you. I thought I knew you. >> Hey. She needs to stop right now. >> Hey. >> Stop. >> Stop. >> Sit on the ground. >> Sit down. Sit down. >> the ground. Sit on the ground. >> Sit down. >> Sit on the ground. >> Sit down. >> Have a seat. >> Take a seat. >> What seat you want? >> Stop. >> Cuz you're running away. >> Yes. >> For what reason? >> You were involved in an accident and we're still doing an investigation and you're walking the opposite direction. >> Relaxing out. You want to block me from now? >> Just relax and sit down. >> Oh, and now it's you relax and sit down. You know >> We were asking you to sit there the whole entire time. Okay, so this is this is what's happening. Okay, so >> Y'all are a bunch of hoodlums, bro. >> You have to do a crash. >> Correct. >> Before. Okay. >> Yeah, I got you. >> So you don't want your crash crash investigation? >> Are you? >> I'm solid. >> Okay. >> So you can have a whole solid investigation because you have your whole your whole course investigation. I'm so glad for you. What What? >> Okay. So he did the crash investigation and now I'm moving into a DUI investigation. Okay? >> Can wait for that y'all for you. >> Okay. Well, I just got to read you something, okay? Before we ask you any questions, you must know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions and they have to be with you during questioning. >> Sit down. >> Have a seat. >> don't have to stand up for this. Yes, do. we're asking you to have a seat. I'm glad that you're asking me, but like I don't have What don't you understand? Take a seat. Stop. Seriously, stop. Why are you making this so difficult? Okay, now have a seat, please. Sit down. We'll have to lower you down. Just try to lean down. Here you go. You want to do some stretches, bro? Okay. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you before we ask you any questions, if you wish. If you decide to answer any questions now without a lawyer present, you still have the right to stop answering at any time. You also have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to a lawyer. Do you understand each of these rights I've explained to you? Having these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to me? Too many. Unfortunately, yeah. Too many what? Too many wishes. Yeah, I'm unfortunately unavailable to you. Yeah, 100%. Yep. Okay. Well, do you want to do some field sobriety exercises? Unfortunately, no, I do not. Okay. All right. We are under arrest for driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license. Can we film that for me? Okay. >> I'm going to put the phone back in my car. All right, let me just pat her down real quick here. >> Yeah. >> You're going to get a couple of resisting charges, too, since you can't follow instructions. >> When did I follow instructions? When? >> Nothing on you that's going to poke six down me? >> No. >> Will you agree to a breathalyzer? >> No. >> Okay. All right, let's go this way. Is there anything out of your car we're going to need? >> No, I don't need >> Have a seat. Watch your head. >> I'm going to check on her real quick here. >> Yep. >> What's your name? >> A Blaze is my last name. >> Okay, I'm sorry for everything. >> You don't have to apologize to me. >> terrible. Um thank you for everything. >> You shouldn't have to feel terrible. >> I do. It's my friend. I don't want her to go through that. >> I get that. >> But, I'm okay to leave. >> Basically, yeah. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Have a good night, okay? Does she have your number? >> Yes. >> Okay, I didn't see a cell phone in here. Do you know she has one? >> cell phone. >> Okay. >> I don't know if I should should I give that to you guys? >> Um yeah, I'll take it so it can go with her to jail. So, at least when she gets out, she can uh >> Love it. >> give you a call. But, she has your number and everything? >> In there, yeah. >> Okay. You have a good night, okay? Drive safe, please. >> Second issue, investigative detention. The subject argued that once the crash report was done, she was free to leave. That is legally incorrect. Under Terry versus Ohio, 1968, an officer may detain a person as long as any lawful investigation requires reasonable articulable suspicion, and the DUI investigation was ongoing. When she attempted to walk away, officers had clear legal authority to stop her. That is the act that generated the obstruction charge. Under Florida statute section 843.02, willful resistance of an officer in the lawful execution of duty is a criminal offense. Profanity directed at an officer is protected speech under the First Amendment. That is not obstruction. Walking away from an active investigation after repeated lawful commands to remain is a different matter. The legal threshold for obstruction without violence was met at that moment. Miranda warnings were required because the subject was in custody before formal questioning began. Miranda versus Arizona, 1966. The officer administered those rights in full, working through repeated interruptions from the subject's own refusal to comply with commands to sit. A fragmented Miranda reading caused by subject non-compliance does not automatically void the advisement, but it does create a suppression argument for the defense. Officers should administer Miranda in a controlled setting whenever possible. In this encounter, that option had already closed. The subject invoked her right to remain silent clearly. The officer honored it. That is constitutionally required. What followed, a question about the breathalyzer, operates under an entirely separate legal framework. Florida statute section 316.1932 is the implied consent law. Operating a vehicle on Florida roads constitutes advanced consent to a breathalyzer upon a lawful DUI arrest. Asking about the breathalyzer after a Miranda invocation is not a Fifth Amendment violation. They are governed by different laws. One moment warrants specific scrutiny. The officer privately asked the witness to confirm she saw the subject behind the wheel using emotional appeals about public safety and how the subject was treating her. That solicitation was legally permissible, but it came close to improper witness pressure. The witness declined. That was entirely her right. The officer receives a B. Probable cause was solid. Miranda was completed. The Fifth Amendment invocation was honored. Physical compliance assistance was measured and defensible under Graham versus Connor, 1989. The deduction is the witness solicitation, which was avoidable. The subject receives a C+. She correctly invoked her right to silence and agreed to the breathalyzer. She did not escalate to physical violence, but her sustained refusal to follow lawful commands and her decision to walk away during an active investigation supplied the legal basis for every additional charge. Kaylee receives an A minus. She provided honest initial information, declined to give a formal statement without fabricating an excuse, and cooperated calmly throughout. She handled an impossible position with integrity. Five legal takeaways from this encounter, grounded in what the law actually says, not in how the situation felt in the moment. First, DUI probable cause does not require a field sobriety test. Officer observations of impairment combined with physical evidence of erratic driving are legally sufficient under Florida statute section 316.193. Refusing the test does not erase probable cause that already exists. Second, you are not free to leave an active investigation, even when you believe it is over. Under Terry versus Ohio, the detention authority continues as long as any lawful investigative basis remains. Walking away is not a neutral act. In Florida, it is a chargeable one. Third, invoke your right to silence clearly and stop talking. Once the words are said, any further voluntary statement belongs to the prosecution. The invocation means nothing if you keep talking afterward. Fourth, the breathalyzer and Miranda rights are governed by separate laws. Florida's implied consent statute section 316.1932 is independent of the Fifth Amendment. The breathalyzer obligation exists before anyone reads you your rights. Fifth, witnesses have no legal obligation to provide voluntary statements. If an officer asks you to speak against someone you know, you may say no, clearly and calmly. No Florida law compels a civilian witness to give a voluntary statement without a formal subpoena. The three charges here each trace back to documented observations and the subject's own decisions on scene. Whether they resulted in a conviction, a plea, or a dismissal is unknown at the time of this analysis.
