Video Transcript
Ray Hrdlicka – Host – Attorneys.Media
“Ok so we’re back at the point of a traffic stop. The officer believes… because of some erratic behavior…. What happens… if the person that they’ve stopped says, ‘I don’t want to take any of these tests?’”
Regina Tsombanakis– Criminal Defense Attorney – Broward County, FL
“They’ll arrest them.”
Ray Hrdlicka – Host – Attorneys.Media
“Immediately.”
Regina Tsombanakis– Criminal Defense Attorney – Broward County, FL
“Immediately, pretty much. Yeah.”
Ray Hrdlicka – Host – Attorneys.Media
“Okay.”
Regina Tsombanakis– Criminal Defense Attorney – Broward County, FL
“You’re either going to get arrested at the end with more evidence against you, or like that. But generally, you’re not going to be let off the hook. If they think they stopped you for a reason, because they think they’re going to put you in jail, rather than leave you out on the street.”
Ray Hrdlicka – Host – Attorneys.Media
“So, what happens? They arrest you. But all that…do they have anything more than the officer’s statements then?”
Regina Tsombanakis– Criminal Defense Attorney – Broward County, FL
“No. And a lot of times before the cameras were there that’s kind of all they had.”
Ray Hrdlicka – Host – Attorneys.Media
“Oh.”
Regina Tsombanakis– Criminal Defense Attorney – Broward County, FL
“Before, there was just testimony, you know? And now it’s become a lot more common with the cameras. But thirty years ago, they didn’t have these things, if they didn’t have ways to record it, it was the officer’s testimony.”
Ray Hrdlicka – Host – Attorneys.Media
“I see, okay.”
Regina Tsombanakis– Criminal Defense Attorney – Broward County, FL
“And I believe… well the officer would, and how the defendant moved, and how the defendant would make a choice of taking the stand, or what the defense is. So, it will record what’s going on. And of course, if you’re not doing well on the tests, it will show that too.”
