Yeah, it's just 8 hours from from when I when I told him he was under arrest. It's 8 hours from then the you'll be able to bond out then 500 or is it going to be um Yep. Yep. Uh well, I'll read you because you know I read your refusal affidavit. You get to decide if you want to give a sample of your breath or not. That's all going to be for a by. Yep. This is just different. It's so it's this is just a bi because you haven't mention no driving. Let me ask something. So I've been charged with a DUI prior, right? Does this count? I was charged. I was I was um They don't count yet as the same, but when I read you the implied consent, it'll tell you if you've refused before for a DUI, then your refusal, instead of being a $500 fine, will be a misdemeanor to refuse a sample. Does that make sense? No. Have you refused a DUI sample? Okay. So, since you refused that, I'll read you the implied consent. I need to read it to you so it's official. But basically what it says is that to not give a sample is usually a $500 fine. But if you've already previously been asked for a sample, even if it's driving related and you've refused, then basically it'll be also it'll be a misdemeanor as well. Does that make sense? Does that count as a second charge against It's not a DUI at all. Yeah. It's a second charge, but it's a refusal charge for boating, but it is not That's still your camera's still on. Yeah. Yeah.

[Applause] So, I'm not going to look. I'm going to take him over here. Okay. All right. Did your boat break down a couple times for you? Yes, sir. I I ain't got an hour on what's up.
