06:17So it's not going to be a long thing.
06:18I'll let you walk up real quick.
06:19Okay, so my partner here, I don't know the details obviously, I wasn't going to stop you.
06:24My partner here observed you, some kind of traffic violation, started a traffic stop,
06:30believed you had an impairment, did a series of routine tests on you, right?
06:34Field sobriety tests, okay?
06:36You performed poorly on those, okay?
06:39Based off of his observations, you are intoxicated.
06:44Okay.
06:45So you were under arrest for DWI, okay?
06:50Okay.
06:50Okay.
06:51Awesome.
06:52Well, we're asking if you understand what was just read to you.
06:55Yeah, yeah, I hear you.
06:56Perfect.
06:57And what I'm going to do, I'm going to reread this again.
07:00We're going to go through the rest of it, but at this point-
07:02No, no, no, no, I got you.
07:02I got you.
07:03At this point, it asks for initials.
07:05If you don't want to initial, you're not required to.
07:08You can't be forced to, and then I'll read the rest of it, okay?
07:13Will you initial or no?
07:14No.
07:15Okay.
07:16No.
07:16I'll read the rest of it.
07:17Please.
07:18Like...
07:19Um, now, do you consent or refuse to the chemical test?
07:26No, I'm not doing the chemical test.
07:29Like, guys, I don't mean no harm.
07:33Like...
07:34I understand.
07:36We believe you to be under the influence of alcohol.
07:40Okay.
07:41And operating a motor vehicle, right?
07:43Okay.
07:44But I don't mean no harm.
07:45I didn't say you did, right?
07:46Everyone makes a mistake or two in their life, right?
07:49You had too much to drink, you drove the car, right?
07:53Okay.
07:54It's whatever, you know.
07:57I'm not here to judge you.
07:59We got a job today.
08:01Yes, sir.
08:02I appreciate your understanding.
08:03By the way, I appreciate that you're doing that.
08:07I appreciate that.
08:08Yeah.
08:10What was the traffic violation I missed?
08:20I observed you found the police stop at the stop sign, and then while you were driving,
08:25you failed to keep right on numerous occasions, so you're very...
08:28Wait, wait, start over.
08:29Sorry.
08:30One more time.
08:32You failed to stop at the stop sign, and then while you were operating the motor vehicle,
08:36you failed to keep right on your side of the roadway, and you continuously moved off
08:41and veered to the left of the roadway.
08:44Okay.
08:44Well, I was just following my friends.
08:46Okay.
08:47Yeah, I understand, but we are where we are right now, okay?
08:51You boys treat me like I'm a criminal.
08:57I don't want to say that because, I mean, if you'd be interested, so, for Mr. Bitter-DWI,
09:03I don't like the culpable names, Mr. Timberlake, but we're just the situation that we're in,
09:08unfortunately, okay?
09:09I'm trying my best to treat you like anybody else, okay?
09:14And again, I appreciate your cooperation.
09:16Yeah, man.
09:17Most people, a lot of people don't cooperate like this, so it goes a long way in my book.
09:22I appreciate it.
09:22I don't really need me.
09:24Hey, can I ask you a question?
09:26Yeah, happy to answer anything I can.
09:27Um, is this a normal process?
09:30Yeah, because everything is pretty standard.
09:33Nothing of the ordinary.
09:35It is for everyone that gets arrested for DWI.
09:41Is there anything specifically about it you are wondering, or just...
09:46No, no, no, I just wondered, like, you really tough people out and, like...
09:50Yeah, yeah, I mean...
09:53If you're in our custody, we have to make sure that you...
09:56That people who we block up here don't leave, you know?
09:59You can't just leave.
09:59We gotta process everything like that.
10:01Your safety, our safety, things like that.
10:04It's just standard protocol.
10:06Gotcha.
10:07I appreciate you boys for doing your job, man.
10:12I appreciate you understanding that we gotta do our thing.
10:15Yeah, I appreciate you boys for doing your job.
10:17I had one martini and I followed my fucking friends on.
10:24I appreciate you boys for doing your job, Garrett.
10:28Just look it over real quick before we pull these on.
10:40White?
10:42I'm just kidding.
10:45I'm just kidding, man.
10:50So, you're being held for the night, and then in the morning is the uranium.
10:54So, in the morning, usually around 9.30.
10:56You're being held all night?
10:57It might not be this one, you might be over at the other one, and they actually have blankets for
11:01you.
11:01You guys are wild, man.
11:03And again, like I said, you can make a phone call if you would like.
11:06The attorney and things like that, you're allowed to call right now if you wish, or you can call later.
11:10Yeah, at any point you want to make a phone call, let us know.
11:12Yeah.
11:13You're entitled to have phone calls.
