on April 13th 2024 a routine traffic stop became a significant legal situation for a woman involved in a minor car accident the vehicle she was driving had sustained visible damage with smoke coming from the engine drawing the attention of an officer nearby what began as a basic inquiry into the accident quickly escalated into an investigation for potential impaired driving as the officer approached the woman her demeanor raised concerns she appeared visibly nervous and admitted to having urinated due to anxiety hi there nothing appears to in the lot vehic on theth side is your door open or is it is it busted it doesn't it doesn't work like that what do you mean your your your door doesn't open oh there it is what's happening your car is all messed up yeah okay what's going on on yeah she get into an accident yeah okay she have little bit to drink maybe no no nothing okay you're all right your your your foot is bleeding a little bit everything else okay I'm fine this initial admission and her apparent distress led the officer to ask her to step out of the vehicle for further assessment the officer wanted to ensure her safety and address the smoke emanating from the car and began questioning her about the circumstances of the accident uh you on the phone there yeah all right can you can you hang up for meop let's just step out of the car cuz it's it's smoking a little bit okay step out for me have a little chat 3 you want to put your purse down put your purse back in the in the car you can set your phone down too all right let's go we're going to go get on the sidewalk so we're not in the street did you pee a little bit a lot of bit well I was a little nervous so okay okay so you got into an accident right that did happen yeah um so would you be willing to go through a couple you know tests with me just to make sure that you're okay to drive not that this is going to be drivable but you know it's not going to be drivable when asked if she had consumed any alcohol the woman firmly denied drinking however her behavior and physical condition led the officer to suspect otherwise noticing that her foot was bleeding slightly the officer grew more concerned about her ability to drive safely the the officer initiated a series of field sobriety tests to confirm or dispel these suspicions the first test involved tracking the officer's finger with her eyes while keeping her head still okay would you be willing to do some tests with me really quick yeah want to do some test with me okay um I understand but I understand hey I got to do my job and you know from what I OB okay so is it is it a yes or a no on those tests yes M okay can you uh kill my lights a little bit thank you PR one would you let me know when I'm at 15 please what would you like me to do so on this first test I'm actually going to grab a different flashlight that one's a little bright I'm going to have you stand over here on this flat ground okay stand with you can just stand right there stand with your feet together hands Bound By Your Side just like that what I'm going to have you do is I'm going to have you follow the tip of my finger with your eyes okay so you're going to follow with your eyes and your eyes only you're not going to move your head at all do you understand okay do you have any questions for me no okay so look at my finger finger you see my finger right here is my finger this you're going to follow that okay all right is this your is this your car it's registered you yes okay very good the woman passed this test without difficulty which initially seemed to support her denial of alcohol consumption however the second test a heel to toe walk proved more challenging so on this next test I'm going to have you do is um yeah I'm gonna have you get into this position for me okay okay I'm going to have you put your right foot in front of your left foot with your heel to your touching your toe arms down by your side okay you get in that position for me m and stay in that position for me you so yep so just like I'm doing just like this okay he heal the toe okay and if you fall okay hold on wait wait wait wait so you want hold

for okay despite her efforts she struggled with balance and admitted having difficulty performing the task her performance raised further doubts in the officer's mind okay what do you want me to do I want you to stay in that position for me while I explain the test okay okay all right so I going to have you do for this test is I'm going to have you take nine Heel To Toe steps when once you get there turn around take nine Heel To Toe steps back counting your steps out loud okay keep your arms down by your side the entire time if you step off the line or step out of position just get back into position and continue the test okay it's going to look something like this one two three oh you can't do it well my balance is terrible but oh but you is your balance okay you expect me to do I'm doing it I'm doing it once you get all the way to so I just did three there out you're going to go all the way to n you're going to go all the way to nine and once you get to nine you're going to take a series of small steps get back into the position like this one two three all the way to nine okay do you understand the test give any questions for me okay you can begin keep back in that position and then start over and you can and then you can go when you're ready [Music] turn out loud for me four five 6 7 8 9 and then you want to turn around yep get back in the position okay of California four five six s n why okay 68 the third test required her to balance on one leg while counting aloud before attempting the task the woman voiced her concerns about her naturally poor balance but agreed to proceed so for the next test what I'm going to have you do is get into that starting position that we had for that test with my finger remember that one that you had your feet together and your arms down by your side can you get to that position for me sure okay so when I tell you to begin what you're going to do is you're going to lift whichever fo what you want 6 in off the ground

struggling with such tasks this further heightened the officer suspicion that she might be impaired whether by alcohol or another substance I have bad balance too I'll take okay yeah my balance is

my due diligence right in this investigation I passed on your test as the investigation continued the officer requested that she submit to a breath test to measure her blood alcohol content the woman hesitated citing her belief that she was not intoxicated and her history of passing similar tests in the past ultimately she refused to take the breath test even after the officer explained the potential consequences of refusal this refusal added to the Situation's tension and became a pivotal factor and then would you take that preliminary breath test I passed all of them I don't have to take that it's totally up to you I passed all of that okay and so if you don't want to take it like I said I write you that ticket IE I write you that ticket and then I based my decision on whether I
