On February 26th, 2023, an officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle going way over the speed limit. Hello, hey, how are you? I'm doing well, how about yourself? I'm good. My name is Sergeant Spener at the Sheriff's Office. 68 M hour in the 45 M hour zone. I'm sorry, I at this point. I say it again. Any off for recent four your speed of 68. No, okay. I'm going to need your driver's license, your registration, and your insurance. I'm sorry, I'm looking for my insurance card. I'm sorry, I came over here tonight to pick up a girlfriend and there a vehicle R too. I'm trying to bring up my insurance card for you. I'm sorry. All right, thank you. Hang time. Are you aware that your driver license is suspended? What is it? Are you aware that your driver's license is suspended? No, and suspended in for what? Uh, all I see from Alabama shows suspended. Um, back in December of 2022 for what? I don't know. All I see is

this suspended. Well, that's why like for what all I see is suspended. I don't know the details. Uh, if it was Florida, I could give you the details, but if it was Alabama, I can't give you the detail 'cause all I see is suspended. So, what do I do? You can't drive. I have a girlfriend. Like, I'm literally going to go freeze. I'm just trying to get to my... You can't go to G freeze 'cause you... Now that you know that your license is suspended, continue to drive in Florida, you will be arrested in Florida. Like, I... That's what I was looking for when you pulled me over because I knew that I had to gotten a ticket. And she told me, she said, If you get pulled over, she was like, Make sure you have all of this on you. Well, any paperwork that you show me now won't do you any good 'cause I have to go with my computer shows, and if my computer shows suspended, any paperwork I can't verify that. Okay, uh.

How far does your girlfriend live from here? Um, she is almost to the golf Bree Zoo. Okay, all right. Your call has been forwarded to an automated voice messaging system. Got anybody? Yes, sir. Got anybody? No. All right. St about walk can play some paperwork to you. All right. I've issued you two citations. The first citation I've issued you is for your speed on the Parkway. Um, this citation is for 68 mph and a post of 45. That citation is $181. I've CED you two options. Option one, you pay the citation online by phone or in person. Option um five is a driver improvement. I'm sorry, is a traffic court. You'll be there? I'll be there. And hearing off will decide what happens with the citation. I would contact the clerk of the court since you live in Alabama to see if you can take a driver improvement course. I'm not sure since you live in Alabama, but I would call. You have any questions for me on

that the next citation I'm issuing you is a citation for unknowingly driving while your license is suspended. Now that you know your license is suspended, you can't operate a motor vehicle in the State of Florida. If you do, you're subject to be arrested. Okay? Okay. This citation is $160. So, two options on there. Option one, you can put the citation online, by a phone, or in person. Option five is traffic court. If you choose to do so, I want to contest the citation and the traffic stop. Any questions from that? Say from here, should I Uber from here? Well, you got to figure out what you're going to do with your car because it's on. Well, I just didn't want to continue to keep driving and you know. Okay. Both of these, you have 30 days. If you don't pay it in 30 days or make an election in 30 days or contact the courts in 30 days, your driver's license will become suspended. In other words, Florida will issue you a Florida driver's license number and suspend it.

or they will contact Alabama so they can suspend your driver's license for non-payment in Florida. You understand those. I get like I get what you're saying, but I'm just trying to get out of the situation as of right now. Like you're telling me that my license is suspended and then I don't need to drive, but I'm trying to call people and I don't know what move to bank. So I don't want to pull out of here and you pull me over and you're like you're not supposed to drive. But at the same time, like I can't sit on the side of the road. So I'm trying to figure out what I should do. Like I didn't I had no idea that my license was suspended or I would have never even gone out tonight. I would have never even came over here. So I'm just kind to call what do I do. I can't give me any type of legal advice. I can only do what I you're a police officer like this what you do. I

know I can't give you. I can't give you legal advice. So like do I like I like I can't like do I get in my car and sit there or like do I I don't know what to do. That's a decision that you have to make on who you're going to call. You can call a tow truck. You can call Uber and go to your friend. Okay okay okay my next question to you is how much have you had to drink. No it's not even about that. My next question is how much my next question is how much have you had to drink. Nothing on that level. Okay I'm just more concerned about I believe that you're intoxicated that normal faculties are impaired. I'm more worried about I just don't want to pull off and you're sitting here telling me that my license is suspended. I'm perfectly fine with calling your friends and telling them to come get me. I'm okay with that but I would much rather like of course go home and not have to involve anyone. That's

what I'm trying to say, like if I need to, like I'm not about to go sit in that car and like pull off, and then you like try to call somebody on me, and then I get in more trouble, like no, no. I have way too much in my life going on for that to happen, so much rather like call someone. So that's what I'm trying to say, like where like, okay, I believe that you're intoxicated, that's no FES, are impaired, okay, okay. In other words, I believe that you're intoxicated and/or pretty much drunk, not at all, but I will. So I will not get behind that car. So as of right now, we're moving to a DUI investigation. My question to you is, would you be willing to do FBR Tas to dispel my suspicions? I just want to go home. That wasn't a question. No, the question was, I am not at this point. I have had the night from [__] hell, okay? I just want

to go home at this point on every level. At this point, I have a I've had night from [__] Hill, and I just want to go home. I'm not doing anything wrong at this point that is passed. If you don't want to dobriy Tas, that's your right. However, do understand that your in Mission or your failure not to do fi Abri test could be used against you in court. Wa that's consequences for refusing to do fsts. I can't make you can't force you for f sobriety task for what. Because I'm asking if you're willing to do fi sobriety task for why. Because I believe that you're intoxicated. That's know fact are impor. What do you me to do. You want me to walk line. I'm asking if you willing to do F Tas. You want me to walk line.

Yep okay perfect. All right, watch your knees for me please. Sounds good. Thank you. You're welcome. So now this is the going to be the official one okay. So in about 2 and 1/2 minutes I'm going to ask you to provide a sample of your breath for the purpose of determining its alcohol content. Will you provide a sample. Have water after we're done.

here you can have the water once we're done in here. Okay, okay. So would you be willing to provide a sample of your breath for the purpose of determining its alcohol content? Do I have a choice? You can tell me no. Okay, if you tell me no, your license will be suspended for a period of one year for a first refusal or 18 months for a second refusal. If it is a second refusal, you can face an additional misdemeanor charge. If you refuse to provide the sample to the test that I'm requesting, it will be admissible into court for any criminal proceedings. With that in mind, do you want to provide a breath sample? I don't know. I just want to go home. Okay, well unfortunately, you know we're here. No, all right. You're going to be able to go home in just a couple hours. Okay, so we got about a minute and 15 seconds. I don't know. It's like the right, like do you ask for a warrior or do you like, I don't know. I've never been.

put in this situation before. Okay, so what I just explained to you. Okay, it's called implied consent. So what it is, is whenever you signed for your driver's license, you told the state that you will submit to any lawful test requested of you by a law enforcement officer. Okay, this is a lawful test being lawfully requested by a law enforcement officer. So if I call my lawyer tomorrow morning, like, Yes, you should have done that, they're going to tell you, You can or you can refuse. It's your option. I'm not going to make you do this thing. I'm asking you to do it. Okay, we got about 30 seconds. The instrument's going to do a self-check to make sure that it is working properly. Okay, okay, so you have from now until the time that I have to ask for a sample to kind of make up your mind. Okay, I mean, I'll take it. Like, I just, I, okay.

I understand. I don't know. I've never been put in this situation before. I get it. Like, I don't know. I've always heard, like, if you go to jail, like, dude, why not trust me, understand? I don't know. Okay, so if you do provide a sample, all right, what I want to show you, these are going to be the mouthpieces, okay? They're in individual sealed containers, and I put gloves on so that way I'm not touching any part of it, okay? If you do provide a breath sample, whenever I tell you it's time to provide it, you're going to take a normal breath in, and you're going to blow nice and strong, like you're blowing up a brand new, really big balloon, okay? You're going to keep blowing with that strong pressure until I tell you to stop, okay? Breath for me. Take a breath. All right, we need to compose ourselves, okay? Thinker, all right? 'Cause again, we got to have that nice, strong, steady beep, okay? Blow hard. I can keep that

going here. He knows I told him that we were like 2 minutes away whenever I hung up the phone. Okay, I hung up the phone right before we went over the railroad tracks. I just want to talk to me. I understand you'll be able to do that soon. Just remember, as long as you're nice and polite to the jail staff here, they'll be able to get you through that process pretty quick. Okay, all right, so this is just for your information. Okay, do you know what the legal limit to drive where the blood alcohol content is? Okay, it's point 0 8%. Okay, okay, so on the first sample that we got, you blew a 137, and then on the second sample that we got, you blew a 159. So you're almost double the legal limit to be able to drive that I struggled to get a sample of. Yeah, okay, that's just because you weren't listening on how to provide it. Okay, great.
