You know, I'll testing them, so So I'll return a document and then No, you always hold that on to the last. You know, you always hold on to it until the very end cuz essentially once you hold the hand the document back, then traffic stopped over. So how what Yeah, what what else can you pursue at that point? Can't be like, "Oh, well, now you're under arrest. I need that documentation back." And that looks terrible. Um and I think there's a believe there's actually case law on it, so It's the last thing to do is hand it back. All right, you're on your way. Have a good one. Good to know. What's your first name? Kirsten. Kirsten. All right, Kirsten. Uh everything looks good with your license, but if you don't mind just pop out real quick.

He drank a little bit too much tonight. Yes. That's why I'm driving. Exactly. And I you know, I believe that and I trust you, but there's a strong odor of alcohol from the car. So I just want to make sure that it's him and not you. All right. So that's the reason I Whatever you need. Yeah. So I'm just going to have you follow my finger with your eyes and your eyes only, okay? Just don't move your head back and forth. Do you understand? You can blink as much as you need to. >> eyes.

All right. Uh turn around. So, I may run you through a couple quick balance tests, okay? Before I do that, do you have any issues, any injuries to your lower extremities, uh anything that would preclude you from just doing simple balance tests? I don't think so. Okay. All right, very good. Um what I want you to do is I'm going to demonstrate it for you and then I'm going to have you perform it, okay? So, while I'm doing that is why you keep your feet in that position, but you keep your hands down your side. Perfect. You're already off to a good start. From that position, you're going to pick whichever foot you want, left or right, does not matter for the test. You're going to pick it up about 6 in off the ground, point your toe forward, and count out loud 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005. Just like that with your hands down at your side. All right, do you understand that? >> Yes. All right. And I'll I'm going to time it and I'll tell you when to stop. Okay. I will tell you I'm a little nervous. This I know. This is a lot of pressure, but yes. Trust me, I've been doing this for 10 years. I've dealt with, you know, people that, you know, I take pressure in consideration for sure. All right? Go ahead. So, 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005, 1,006. Is that where we're going? Yep, just keep going. How many times 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005, 1,006? 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005, 1,006. Are we continuing? Well, you're supposed to just count until I tell you to stop. >> Oh, I'm sorry. So, 1,002 I just stopped at 1,006 cuz I'm not going to keep counting until infinity, right? >> Totally. Yeah, I just I just want to make sure I'm following your rules. >> Yeah. Okay. >> So, you shouldn't be walking. You know, you stay in one spot. >> 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005, 1,006. 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005, 1,006. 1,005, 1,006. Yeah. 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005, 1,006. 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005, 1,006. All right, come on. Come on Come back this way. All right. Next one's very simple. What uh What's your highest level of education? Did you graduate high school? >> I have a master's. Okay. So, you understand the English alphabet perfectly fine, right? No tricks to it whatsoever, okay? So, Is this going to be backwards because I cannot >> I just said no tricks, right? >> Okay, yes. All right. Just recite it from A through Z. Just don't sing or rhyme it, okay? So, don't where everyone goes A L M N O P Q R S, just every letter slow and concise. A A >> B C D >> A B C D E F G E F G Oh my gosh. H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z. Okay. I haven't done that in so long. I'm so sorry. My girl. I feel like I stumbled at the the front, but that was really just cuz I haven't done that in so long. Yeah. All right. Uh and then the next one is the walk and turn test, okay? So, you can get on the line while I explain the test. All right, I just want you to put your right foot on the line. I'm sorry, put your left foot down and then put your right foot in front of your left. Just like that, heel to toe. Left foot. Yep. >> Right foot. >> Yep. Now, stay in that position. Okay. Put your feet flat on the ground. Okay. You're kind of mid-step there. Yep. Now, just keep your hands down at your sides and stay like that while I explain the test and I'm going to demonstrate it. Then I'm going to tell you to begin, but the entire time just stay like that. You got it? >> Okay. All right. From that position, when I tell you to start, not yet, you're going to go nine steps forward, heel to toe. So, it's going to be like this. One, two, three, all the way to nine. Okay. On your ninth step, you're going to take the uh small choppy steps to turn around and walk nine steps back the same way. Okay. Heel to toe, on the line with your hands down, just counting out at each step. One, two, three, four, all the way to nine. Do you understand those instructions? I do and again, I will reiterate that I am very nervous. I've never done this before. >> it. But yes, I understand. So, one one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Turn at nine? Yep. Okay. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Correct? Yeah. Okay, thank you. All right. So, He He did drink a lot. I get that. I get that. Um so, you got there around 8:00 and you're only have you had two the entire night. Two glasses of what? Uh we did a wine tasting. Okay. >> Which they told us equaled about one glass. And then we did go to a bar and I had about two drinks. Okay. My door maze you didn't do very good on any of those tests. Um I don't think you're >> you're not Yeah. Yeah, I don't believe that you're safe to drive. Okay. Um And obviously he's not safe to drive either. >> Yeah. Um so You You both live in Langhorne, you said? I live in Langhorne. I'm Is there's any way that you feel more comfortable about us driving home? I'm willing to do whatever that situation is for you. Mhm. Yeah. Um Unfortunately, as I I guess I can't just I can't follow you all the way to Langhorne and that's not legal either. I can't I can't do that. So, Okay. Unfortunately, at this time I have to place you under arrest for driving while intoxicated. All right, we're going to go back to the station. We're going to uh you know, offer you a breath test and that'll ultimately determine yes or no, whether you are or not. Um so that's that's the procedure from now. As far as him and the vehicle >> you guys need. I understand you guys are officers. You are the law, so whatever >> No, I appreciate your cooperation. Um we'll take that, you know, into consideration and all. So, we're going to have to get the vehicle removed from the roadway. I have to deal with him now as well. You know, how sick is he? Is he like puking sick? Or Like why was he laying down flat like Superman on the back seat? I think he was just tired. It is late and we we've been out since like 6:00 6:00 to 8:00 was about was about the time that we started hanging out, so Mhm. I would assume that's probably why he's tired. Got you. Um The other thing that we're going to consider in the you know, when we get back to the station is we need somebody to come pick both of you up now. Okay, I can call my parents if that's needed. Okay. Truly like I I don't want to cause any problems here, so if there's anything that I can do to make this easier, please let me know. >> No, no, I appreciate it. Um So, what what where's your phone? Do you have your phone in person in the car? Do you need that? >> be in my purse, which is in the front seat. Okay. Um Do you mind if I just go grab that for you and then >> mind if I grabbed it real quick? Well, I'm going to walk with you just in case you have a knife or weapon or something like that, but yeah. >> whatever you need, again, I am not here to All right, can you start a hook for a four-door VW SUV? 1711 right here. It has my GPS on it. Okay. I'll wait for the tow. I appreciate it. Um what do you need me to do on my phone? I'm I just just want your phone so you can call somebody when it's time. That's all. Yeah, I don't I don't want the your phone to go with the vehicle. So, the actual RO is in the backseat. He's a little sick as well. >> be with me? Um >> to him? >> Well, yeah, I'm going to I'm going to talk to him right now. Yep. I'm going to we're going to find out um you know, what's the best course of action here. Okay. Yeah, so what's what's his name? Um Albert. Albert? Hey, Albert. Officer. Hey. So, how uh how sick are you? Like you're not like like going to be puking all over the place, are you? I don't know. >> think? Okay. All right. So, my concern is that I don't believe that she's safe to drive either and you're definitely more uh intoxicated, I believe, than she is. Um but so we're going to be taking her into custody for DUI. Uh we need to get you somewhere else as well, safe, and then get a ride for both of you. Okay? Uh can you let him know I can call my parents? All right. So, her her parents can come pick you guys up from the police station. Unless you want to get your own ride, you're more than welcome to do that as well. But she's offering to get you both home with her parents. Do you understand? I got you. Okay. So, um do you have any other personal property in here that you'll need for the next couple hours or Uh is there any type of like this is a so that it's going to be towed somewhere? Yeah. Cuz you can't drive, she can't drive. So, the vehicle's got to be removed from the road. So, um where would it be taken to? To our impound yard. Got you. And the recovery fee would be sometime tomorrow? Yep. Uh what type of fee am I looking at? It's uh predetermined by ordinance. It's uh roughly about $200 is all said and done. Got you. Yeah, but that's that's all spelled out in the in the tow packet that we'll give you. And where is it um set out at? Like That's irrelevant right now. We just got to get you out of the backseat and either to our police station or you call your own ride right now and start having them come up and pick you up. That's where I'm at. I'm going to stay with Garrison. Okay. No problem. Um So, just gather gather your wallet, your phone, anything else if you have house keys on your key ring or anything like that, just grab all that stuff. We're just going to need the key fob if it's a push button. Uh we just need the key fob to stay with the car. Right. Okay. All right. Just give me one minute in here, sir. Yeah, yeah, no problem. All right. Come on back with us. >> You don't have any pockets, right? It doesn't look like All right. So 1711 Superior is spawning. Received. Uh what you're going to do is you're going to sit in here and then this buckle that goes from here to there, okay? So you actually have to like kind of tuck in underneath here. And I'll pull it down. Yeah, and then I'll I'll pull it down for you. Thank you. I'm just going to take your phone or your your Okay. >> Keep everyone's property in the front of the vehicle. Do we You got license, we never got registration, right? No. Okay. Didn't have any vehicle. All right. 1711 1711 One adult One adult female under. Can you reach out to a matron Barlow? See if she's available. 1711 already received one adult female under 0236 hours. Is O'Connor still on or are you alone now? Uh he was in the three. I don't remember where he was. He's probably getting changed or something. Okay. Um So This is where I put things off to the side. Okay. I'll take them. And then I'll uh I just need to get my my uh shoes out of there and then I'll be right out. Sure. Just be careful walking in the traffic. So two things here. I can rush back with her right now and get him another car to come pick him up or if you want to wait and >> I'm going to stay here until I see our parents. Our parents aren't coming here on scene. They're going to come back to the police station. I'll go with her wherever she goes. Yeah. Um So, either I can do that real quick or if you don't mind if you want to drive him back to our police station. >> him back. You drive? Yeah, when when they come grab the car I'll give them a ride. Okay. I don't I don't want to put you out on it, but >> deal. I got You There's a I don't know. If I do If something happens and you know you got a call, I'll send him out with another car to come come pick him up. >> It's all good. So, you helped me out last time, so I figured I can return the favor. I appreciate it. All right. I'm just going to get you a tow form to give Hey, what happened to your headquarters? One of them in the sally port department? Yeah, the front door is fine. We'll just put him in the the vestibule. Yep. Yeah, he's coming back to the station. Yep. Nope. What did they say here? Go back to the dispatch. And we got a superior. What's today's date? 30th? The time that we called two. 22 VW I do just want to say I don't know if this like counts as anything towards what's going on here, but as a woman when being pulled over by a police officers, it is a little bit scary. Okay. Depending on the area. Yeah, hold on. All right, received. Do you want me to try that second meter we have here? No, you can disregard. Reading. Uh was that a ticket you were on? Or uh Yes, ticket one. What's the year? Go back to the C just query screen. Now, I got certain somebody input it in as a New Jersey. So, let's redo it as a PA. Okay. Yep. 125125 He wants to talk to her. Can we tell her later? Um not really. You can come up and talk to her, that's fine. Good. Talk through the window. Hey. I'll be there shortly. Okay. I'll be there. That's fine. Thanks. That's it? That's it. Were you expecting more? Yeah, a little bit. It was a little dramatic, but Hey Albert, what's the phone number for you? Oh, all right. Start from the beginning. Don't Who reads a phone number backwards? What's the area code? All right. That makes more sense. We'll do that to the tow when they come. For you? Sure. You are the best. All righty. Thank you. All right, so your your friend Albert's just going to stay with the other officer until the the tow truck comes and then he's get that other officer is going to drive him back to our station where you're going to be. All right. Altogether, it'll take about an hour or so and then you'll be released. Um so is the process that I call someone to pick me up? Um could you just like explain a little bit? I don't I don't really know what's going on. Like yeah. So when we get back there, I'm going to read you what your rights are under uh driving on the influence in New Jersey. Um you're going to have a choice whether to blow in the breathalyzer or not. That's >> sorry. Yeah. I'm so sorry. Yeah. So when we get back to the station, I'm going to read you your rights under uh title 39 450 which is DUI statute. Um you're going to have the option to blow into the machine and give a breath sample or not. Uh and then pretty much after that, we're going to call your ride and have them come pick you and and Albert up. And you're going to get issued a few summonses and then you have to appear in court uh in October is our next court appearance. So. And again about an hour, maybe hour and a half total from start to finish. Yep. Car 1711 transporting one adult female to headquarters. 1711, right. And again like I however this pans out I do just want to be very clear that the turn signal to get to the side for when you're pulling me over was truly just because I really don't know how to pull over on a road that doesn't have any kind of shoulder or leeway there. Um so I just wanted to mention that but I appreciate the precautions that you're taking. Yep, no problem. I knew you weren't trying to run from us or anything. Okay good. That that was my concern was I didn't want you to think that I was in any way trying to uh evade what was happening. It was just truly that If I thought that I'd be like closer to your bumper I'd be using the siren, hitting the air horn, like >> Okay. I I'm I'm not familiar with any of the processes so I didn't want to you know, um assume anything there. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah, again you've been very cooperative and all that so I didn't put any handcuffs on you. Normally you you're supposed to put your handcuffs I appre- I really appreciate that actually. That's dramatic though. Yes. Absolutely. Create more emotions and all like that. That's why I took it upon myself to not have it. Thank you. No, and I I understand this is this is your role. And um while I feel competent to drive, if that is not the legal situation that we will figure out as we go through this process. That is what it is, but I do appreciate um your cooperation through this. Something 11 is at our headquarters. Something 11 received. Let's bring her ID in. Yep. Drop your go in here. Yeah, he's got to I got to unlock the code. >> Okay. I don't want to. Yep. Get out the way of anything. You have a seat on the bench. Again, you've been cooperative. I'm not going to shackle you to the wall. I don't think that's necessary. Yep. Hang out here while I grab the rest of my stuff. I've never been on this side of things. Of course. Do you guys use handcuffs a lot? I would assume. Yeah. I'd assume so. They They seem pretty scary just kind of hanging around. Just a standard procedure. I just I I feel like I'm shaking. So, I just like want Of course. You know, it's really just more nerves. Of course. Yeah. Okay. Great. Okay. Just make sure you take deep breaths, you know, just And again, I can call my parents whenever that's an option. Yeah. Just let me know. All right. So, this is your phone and then Albert gave us this stuff as well. Um That's my cheese in my purse. Yes. Does the cheese need to be refrigerated? Uh it it they told me they wrapped it in some kind of tin foil, so it may not, but if I'm here overnight, perhaps. Oh, you're not going to be here overnight. You're not going to be here for an hour. An hour, an hour and a half tops. Thank you. I think it'll be good. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. We're just going to put it right outside in a minute or two. We We can't have any electronics in this room. So, our body cams, our radios, everything. So, we have to leave your phone right here. >> Whatever is necessary. >> Sorry. Yep. It's all going to be right here in this folding chair. All right? Yes, thank you. We'll copy your license. I'll be right back. Sounds good. If there's anything else I can provide in the meantime. Of course. No worries. Matt will let you know. So, at least fall's coming up. Yeah, right. Good weather we're having. >> colder, yeah. Much preferred. I agree. I agree. I feel like there's too many people that are summer summer heads, right? You got You got to get the flannel out, right? >> Exactly. Very good. Yeah, looking forward to it. So. I am before this year, so like last year I moved home and then before that I was living in Baltimore for a while. So, um it's like a whole different situation when it comes to Of course. everything, right? Yeah. Is that where you went to school? You said you had a master's, correct? Um yes, but I actually I got that in um Philadelphia. So, I was at St. Joe's for a while. >> Okay. And then I moved down to Baltimore for a job after grad school, so. What did you study at St. Joe's? Um international marketing. Okay. Very good. Is that what you do now for work? You like >> I'm in digital operations, which is nice.

I was in ad tech for a little bit when I was in Baltimore, so. Um I was able to really understand kind of how that all works. Very good. All right. So, the next just again full disclosure, next part of the process um will be about a 20-minute observation. So, we have to sit here and just watch you for 20 minutes, make sure you don't put anything in your mouth, make sure you don't vomit, make sure you don't burp, belch, uh anything like that. So, prior to us starting that, do you need to go to the bathroom? You just kind of once we're in that middle 20-minute period, I can't really let you go to the bathroom. So, I'll If it's available, I'll go. Yes. Yes, absolutely. I'd rather you it now and get it out of the way. I appreciate that. So, right through that door is the light switches to the right. Okay.
