How old are you? I'm 18 18 How much weed can you smoke when you're 18? um um none none correct Do you have a card?

It's not cool, so you can't smoke weed. You certainly can't smoke or drive well. Yes, yes, okay, you have weed in

in here. No, no, you don't have anything there. You're sure? Because your

face

says

to me. No, I only have a little bit. here, okay, so you have some here, so when I said yes, you had marijuana in your car and you said no, and then I said no, I smell it, you say, well, there's some here, so you initial response. It should have just been yeah, I have weed and I know it shouldn't be okay, so that's all true, yeah, okay, okay, I just want to make sure it goes, this thing really

says

I'm a grinder, yeah, because it's a grinder like I like your sense of humor there it's okay um you have any other type of drug paraphernalia here you have like a pipe or like what do you smoke these things? oh, there's a pipe there we go, I had a feeling there it might have been there too, so now it looks pretty fresh, freshly burned, that's this morning, okay, about what time this morning and what that 98 88 9 in somewhere in there, okay, he's high, he's definitely high, hey buddy, hello buddy, ooh oo, I smell the fragrant smell of cannabis as I walk to the car.

I smelled it while he was walking, oh my god, so he's 18. He cannot consume marijuana. He has marijuana. He smoked marijuana and then passed by the sidewalk, so he showed impairment while he was. driving I'm in shock and a little bit of that. I'm going to have you tilt your head back as if you were looking at the sky and close your eyes. Those are Kanye shoes, aren't they Kanye shoes? Yes sir. We're wearing Kanye's shoes, thank you, I appreciate it, look man, we're good, we're here. Would you feel more comfortable if you took off your Kanye shoes and walked barefoot or would you like to walk in your Kanye shoes?

Yes that's fine. yeah whatever you want here we go so like this Left foot Right foot put on your shoes Kanye Kanye again there we like those thank you so listen this is your name so listen this is the deal right now in the position in the one you're in, it's perfect, I want you to stay like this, okay, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go after you like this, I'm going to arrest you for driving under the influence of marijuana. you smoked earlier today okay, I see your

face

that says this is your weed oh no, yes, it's your weed okay, okay, there's a lot of candy here someone's in trouble too a lot of marijuana a lot, a lot of marijuana all kinds of marijuana that's a lot of marijuana he's allowed to have zero Gams and that's more than zero grams of marijuana oh well, this is half a day in the Santan Valley uh, this is, I think the stop was at 2:30 in the afternoon uh, you know, It's not a holiday weekend, it's not Uh, you know it's not 2:00 in the morning, this is in the middle of the day, where there are drivers with drug problems on the roads with our families, and that's what the Traffic Unit does they go out and look for these drivers and try to get them off the road before they cause a collision before they hit someone who hurt them if you were speeding no you don't.

I know you are driving a car, but does this car identify itself as a bicycle? You were riding with two of your wheels on the bike path like since I'm so sorry, my boots are on my leg oh, you have big old boots, yeah, so I tried. I'm going to a doctor's appointment. I tried, so how does the boot on your left foot affect how you drive your car with your two good hands? It hurted me. I don't know what he was doing. I wasn't really paying attention. I can tell I wasn't paying attention, but. My mind was trying to focus on my boot, but when I do this it hurts and when it does, don't do that and it won't hurt.

I know I try not to think about when I push the chair back. too short, this is my brother's car so I have to try it. I'm sorry. Alright. I'm going to close this door here nice and easy for you. Here we go. That's fine thanks. The reason I stopped you is all those cars. you're moving over there and you're just splitting traffic, okay, and you can't do that here, you don't have registration, no, what's that on your bike, so the tag's expired, this has been on me. I guess when I was taking your, take your. take off your helmet so I can talk to you okay so they suspended your registration when you were in California they suspended your registration it means you can't drive so I can't drive it means you can't drive not only can you drive whenever you want so you don't have registration, you don't have insurance, okay, I just wanted to make sure you don't have to turn off the car, man, it's hot out here, okay, yeah, I was doing the Ste Li, you actually weren't.

I was doing 45, well first of all, that's not true because I put you on the radar at 57 and before you were at 57, buddy, this is not a back and forth. I'm not looking for information from you, so you were previously in 57. You crossed the stretch of a line created by the 45 mph sign, so you're still in a 25 mph zone, going more than twice the speed limit, so which at no time were you exceeding the speed limit, except when you passed it on the road at your maximum speed. and he has all these excuses and then I check his driver's license and he gets suspended for tickets that I believe were issued by the Panal County Sheriff's Office, so he didn't pay for a criminal violation, he didn't pay for a criminal violation, failed to meet financial responsibility, um, so. he gets suspended while driving and says no he was just doing the speed limit which he wasn't and he was in a 25 hour zone going more than twice the speed limit so he's going to have some trouble here, um, as a result of one having a ton of excuses as to why he was doing what he was doing and two, the fact that he's driving and he's behind the wheel of a vehicle, okay, so, his driver's license is suspended. , as far as you know, okay, then you shouldn't drive at all, just don't drive because you can't and you're obviously not good at it, right?, okay, thanks, your car is broken down and you're late, so that I feel like this. they're two different things so I'll explain my problem to you uh my car is running lean and lean yeah okay so it's not pumping enough gas into my gears they're shifting extremely hard if I don't accelerate enough um and so am you So you're driving harder fast so your car shifts better and the speed limit here on Hunt Highway is 45, you pass me in 72, there's my car, it doesn't say it goes that fast at all, but your car is like that.

Not working correctly is not reading that my radar that is working correctly is what it said when you passed me, so I'm sure that if one of these two is reading correctly, it is my calibrated and certified radar, when was the last time that did you smoke? any marijuana I don't concentrate uh well I did it I did it but not while I'm driving or doing anything like that okay when was the last time you did it maybe last night when I got home I didn't work. yesterday, so I could, okay, so I'm looking at the concentrate cartridge in your center console, that's mine, it's not actually mine, it's um, but your car, yes sir, okay, it's my fault, completely , okay, there are a lot of excuses like I like all kinds of excuses. as to why he was going to 72 and 45 and I don't think I believe any of them so like you said you were broke but you had enough money to smoke whed but you did it because you smoke you said you smoked it last night and Just by looking at you I realized that you are not on drugs now, so I am not worried that there is any impediment.

They're saying there are different ways you can allocate your money, there are better ways and you're 20 right. Okay, so you're in the part of your life where you make bad decisions. I am making better decisions. Making better decisions is always a good idea. Also, not driving at nearly 30m per hour falls into the same realm, probably not driving. over 30 mph over a speed limit, okay, maybe 50 over the speed limit too, um, so everything I did I didn't do, so you're going at a criminal speed. I didn't write you a criminal ticket, okay, um, now that, now that we're done with all the excuses for why you're doing what you're doing.

I give you that. Who was in danger? I'm sorry, who was in danger? Who were you putting in danger? Yeah, well, the speed limit is. the highest speed you can go because it's a limit, so if there's a limit that you shouldn't be able to go over, it's a recommendation to drive safely, it's a recommendation, so if you want, there's a court date. there so I can take that, go to the judge and tell the judge, your honor, that I am almost 30 m per hour over the posted speed limit. However, I know it is a recommendation and I don't think I should be responsible for my actions and This is what is wrong with today's society.

He's there now driving the speed limit. Because finally, probably for the first time in his life, someone held him accountable for something he did. I just don't understand the world anymore. Did you know? your top speed was on the radar. I'm going to say that I don't want to curse. I don't think curse is the right word. The reason I stopped you is because you're driving and texting at the same time and you can't. be doing that, oh no, I was looking at my daughter, I'm sorry, you too, you can't do that, what license, what registration, insurance, too please, so you're FaceTiming while you're driving down the road, so he didn't even stop FaceTiming with his kids talking on the phone, um because it's still happening in the background while I'm talking to him and there's kids screaming and they see the driver's license, give me a chance, well let's see you're not wearing your seat belt, just you took my seat belt.

Get out, you're a criminal with speed in a school zone. I really have to go to the bathroom. Everyone says, let me see your driver's license, so I'm the pending

deputy

. I work for the County Sheriff's Office Traffic Unit panel that I pulled you over for. It's 73 mph in a posted 45 mph zone, it's still flashing on my radar It's 73 sir, I really have to go back. I understand though, there are a lot of places up there, see how the C record is recorded. Sure, please, and it's that one. Is that delicious food you have? No. I'm just saying that every time you stopped to go get that you probably could have used the bathroom there right now, Mr.

Christmas, please let me tell you something I hate, before you even get to the window, it starts. asking me for a warning for what you obviously know you did wrong and every excuse was almost 30mph over the speed limit and then immediately asking me for a break. No, the last time you were cited, another member of Panal County cited you. Sheriff's Office Traffic Unit by Deputy Diner also for Speed, so obviously speeding is something you do, but sometimes your heart is like you know it's Christmas. I did it. Many people have a lot of money to spend. his kids and stuff, I absolutely understand you know what I mean, it's like a once in a while thing, you could be like, you know what, man, never let him get you again, you know what I mean and then me too.

I'm fine with that, you know what I'm saying, but I'm not even talking about a chance, that's all I ask of the Blue Moon, just have a heart, it's Christmas time, that's all yours, no, no , Sir. You can finish explaining this, but it seems like you don't want to listen to it, so okay, make sure you put on your seat belt and drive safely. Whatever reason you are as you walk past me, you know what I am. I'm not even going to argue sir, I know it was my fault so I appreciate that, so refreshing. I appreciate that you take responsibility for saying hey, look, I passed it.

I was accelerating. I have no excuse, so the sheriff's office is leaving. To give you a warning tonight, keep trying to keep your driving record clean, but slow down, okay, thank you all for taking his seat, Bel, drive safely.
