01:01Hi, Miss.
01:02I'm Officer Koster with Crystal Lake Police Department.
01:04We're just talking to you because we got a couple complaints that you might have been swerving on the road.
01:10I don't think I was.
01:11You don't think you were?
01:12No.
01:12Maybe it was a phone.
01:13You're on your phone or something.
01:15No, I'm just a bad driver.
01:17I failed with driving just twice.
01:19Okay.
01:21Trust me, I'm trying to drive nice.
01:23Hey, we need you to step out, okay?
01:24You're going to come and talk with us over here, okay?
01:27All right, my dear, here.
01:28Put your butt right against there.
01:31This officer is going to ask you some questions, okay?
01:33So have you been drinking at all tonight?
01:35No.
01:36You just maybe on your phone or something?
01:38Maybe, yeah.
01:38Where are you coming from?
01:39Carrie.
01:40I just am on my music a lot.
01:43Your music?
01:43Okay.
01:44Do you have your ID on you?
01:45I can check.
01:46I just need to look at where you're reaching, my dear.
01:50It's right there?
01:50Okay.
01:51All right.
01:51You good?
01:52Yes.
01:53I'm sorry.
01:54I'm just stressed.
01:54Why are you stressed?
01:56Because I've been pulled over like once before.
01:58Okay.
01:58Here, put your butt right back there, okay?
02:012004, how old does that make you?
02:02That makes me 18.
02:0318?
02:04Okay.
02:04What's your first name?
02:05Ellie.
02:05Ellie.
02:06Hey, Ellie.
02:06Do you know what time it is right now?
02:08Don't without looking.
02:10Guess.
02:12About like 6.30.
02:13Okay.
02:14It's like, it's right now it's 7.15.
02:17Is there anything that you did today that you think in terms of medications, alcohol, prescribed,
02:24not prescribed drugs, weed, anything like that that you took today that you think would
02:29impair your driving?
02:30No.
02:31Okay.
02:31Did you, have you had any alcoholic beverages today?
02:34No.
02:34I have been sober for six and a half months.
02:37Okay.
02:38What about marijuana?
02:40Any marijuana today?
02:42Okay.
02:43When was the last time you smoked marijuana?
02:45I'm sober from alcohol but not marijuana.
02:47Okay.
02:48But marijuana was probably like yesterday or two days ago.
02:51Yesterday or two days ago.
02:52But I don't think it would impair my driving today.
02:54Okay.
02:55All right.
02:55So since you've been at Target, you have not consumed any alcoholic beverages.
03:00Okay.
03:00And they can check the cameras and see that I, okay.
03:03Is there anything illegal that you may have in the car?
03:08No.
03:09Okay.
03:09So you have no alcohol in the car?
03:11No.
03:11Okay.
03:12No cannabis, weed in the car?
03:14No.
03:14No prescription medication not prescribed to you or any other drugs in the car?
03:18Do like, what's it called?
03:22What's it called when you take things that are like extra vitamins for you?
03:27Like multivitamins?
03:29Kind of, but like.
03:30If it's something like over the counter, they sell them at Target.
03:35That's not.
03:37Supplements.
03:37That's what it's called.
03:38Okay.
03:38Yes.
03:39I've taken some supplements.
03:40Again, our concern is we had two people call in saying that you were swerving on the road
03:44and we just wanted to make sure you're okay to drive.
03:46And stumbling.
03:47That's why.
03:47That's why.
03:49After they saw you get out of your car.
03:51I promise you I am.
03:54So, so, so I.
03:55You could literally call my boyfriend and tell you how clumsy I am.
03:59So, so, so here's the deal though, okay?
04:00I appreciate it, all right?
04:02I appreciate what you're saying to me.
04:04However, we have a little bit of a problem, okay?
04:08So, I'm going to give you an opportunity to be honest with me, okay?
04:14Because when you opened your door, I saw the bottle of vodka that's in your driver's
04:20side of your door.
04:21I don't have any.
04:21Okay, well, I saw it.
04:24Well.
04:25Hold on.
04:25I don't, I don't want you, I don't want you reaching in your car.
04:28Well, I, you could open the door.
04:29Okay, I'll open the door.
04:30You can stand with Officer Koffser right here.
04:32I'm just saying I don't have a bottle of vodka on my side door.
04:35Okay, so.
04:35You're okay with me opening and looking?
04:38Yes.
04:38Maybe she saw it wrong or something.
04:39Yes.
04:39She can, she can open and look at it.
04:41Okay, so, okay, so now we have a problem, okay?
04:48What?
04:49I have a, I have a really big problem.
04:50What?
04:51Okay.
04:52Now we're not cool.
04:53Why?
04:54Okay, and I'll explain to you why we're not cool.
04:57Because I saw it there.
05:00I promise you it wasn't there.
05:03Here, everything's on video, okay?
05:05Okay.
05:06So now what we're going to do is I'm going to have you stand by with these officers and
05:10I'm going to search your vehicle.
05:11You don't have the warrant to do that.
05:12Actually, I have probable cause because I observed alcohol.
05:15You don't have warrant to do that.
05:16Because I observed alcohol.
05:17I have a right to not let you search my car.
05:20Okay, so I have a right to not let you search my car.
05:23Unfortunately.
05:24No, I have a right to not let you search my car.
05:26We're not, we're not doing this.
05:27I have a right to not let you search my car.
05:29Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, Ellie,
05:30We're not doing this.
05:30Come on, let's go.
05:31You know my rights, and you know I have a right to not let you search my car.
05:35There's a little weed in the center council.
05:37There's a pipe I see.
05:38Yeah, and they don't have a right to search my car.
05:41Listen to me.
05:41They don't.
05:42I've been pulled over before, and I know you don't have a right to search my car.
05:46Chill out, okay?
05:47Because I don't want to have to put you in handcuffs right now.
05:50I know you don't have a right to search my car.
05:52It's an exception to the law.
05:53It's called a mobile conveyance.
05:55You guys looked in my car before you had a right to search my car,
05:58and you saw the weed, and so you don't have a right to search my car.
06:02It's also plain view, yes.
06:03You don't have a right to search my car.
06:05I do.
06:05No, you don't.
06:06Okay, so Ellie.
06:06No, you don't.
06:07Ellie, Ellie, do not touch me like that.
06:10I'm telling you for a fact you don't have a right to search my car.
06:16So listen to me.
06:17This is going to go one of two ways, okay?
06:19I would rather not put you in handcuffs.
06:21I don't want to put you in handcuffs, okay?
06:22I don't want to.
06:23If you're cooperative, we can figure this out and work through it.
06:27I'm just saying you can't search my car without a warrant with seeing a bull in my car.
06:32You can't search my car without a warrant.
06:33So I know the law.
06:35I know the law because I've looked it up,
06:38and I know you can't search my car without a warrant,
06:40so I'm not allowing you to.
06:41Ellie, I'm giving you one of two choices.
06:43I know you can't search my car without a warrant.
06:45You guys know this.
06:46Ellie, these are your choices.
06:47You can go stand by that squad car with these two gentlemen, okay?
06:51That's your first choice.
06:53If you do not want to do that,
06:55your second choice is I'm going to put you in handcuffs, okay?
06:57Which do you choose?
06:58You can't search my car without a warrant.
06:59Which do you choose?
07:00I'm going to give you...
07:01I'm not arguing with you.
07:02I'm going to give you one opportunity right now.
07:05You can't search my car without a warrant.
07:06Ellie, it's all on body cam.
07:08You can't search my car without a warrant.
07:10No, you can't.
07:11Turn around.
07:12Turn around.
07:13Do not handcuff me.
07:14We're not going to do this.

07:39Stop.
07:40Okay, right now you're being placed under arrest, okay?
07:43For...
07:44Well, we're going to figure it out.
07:46It's at least...
07:47We'll go illegal consumption of alcohol by a mine minor right now.
07:51Okay, do you have...
