Do you it's a yes or no? All I need is a yes or no.
Yes. So what you do with your
symmetrical chemical bus test? Because I know you said no at
first. OK.
But I don't get the difference between yes or no.
Like, I don't know if you already suspected it and you're
already arresting me. What's I said, yes or no?
Whether you agree to take our test, it's a yes or no answer.
That's all I need. Yes, then.
OK, because I'm giving you every opportunity to commit to a
chemical birth test, but OK, but.
I don't know whether to take it or not.
Like I've never been in a situation before, like I don't,
I don't know what the difference between taking it or not will
do. And that's what I'm trying to
ask you. Whether you take it or not,
yeah. Whether OK, what's going to
happen? What I'm asking is what's going
to happen if I take it or what's going to happen if I don't?
You still have any rest for DWI? OK, then what's the point of
taking it? To symmetric converters, it's
whether you agree to take it or not, but you're still going to
be arrested for DWI. That's that's the charge.

any other options for whether there's another option whether
you agree to take a test. If you agree to take a test, I'm
awarding and administer the machine on you which you're
going to submit to. Would you agree to submit to a
chemical breath test? OK.

year and then if I do then what's going to happen?
If you do, you're. Going to see the results and
then what? Other way you're being charged
for DWI. Yeah, I understand that, but
what's what I'm not understanding is the difference
between yes and no. Like if I, I.
Just told you what the difference between yes and no.
No, but I just read you. OK.
Yes. And you're saying that my
license is going to get taken away if I don't get it.
And I just asked you if I say yes, then what's going to
happen? And you're not telling me that?
What happened? I just told you.
Yeah. What happens with this is if you
go into there, you get charged based on somewhat what comes out
of that. OK, OK, unless there's other
things going on my throats. OK, then yes, if you're thank
you for explaining it to me, yes, then yes.
