00:00Sorry about that, I was just literally dropping my mate off, that's all I'm going to say.
00:04Yeah, with a nice glass of Stella in your hands?
00:07No, I literally just pulled over, that's it, sir.
00:09I was literally pulling over and dropping my mate off.
00:11I was literally getting out of the car, sir.
00:13Yeah?
00:14I was literally just getting out of the car.
00:16Right.
00:17You're more than welcome to brutalise me if you want, sir.
00:19I don't even mind that as well, sir.
00:21Have you had anything to drink beyond that?
00:23No, I have not, sir. I promise you that.
00:25I've just had a sip, that's it.
00:27You know what I mean? I don't really want to cause any more hassle, obviously.
00:31Right.
00:32Like, I really am.

00:37No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:38A hundred percent, I don't mind.
00:39Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
00:41That's better.

00:48It's your 56.
00:49Okay.
00:50Alright?
00:51Okay, so what does that mean, Chris?
00:53Unfortunately, it means you're under arrest on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle whilst over the subscribed limit for alcohol, okay?
01:02You're right about that.

01:09Okay?
