investigate these horrible crashes that we see on the news all the time where the sheets are covering the body and except i would get there and the sheet wasn't on the body yet. most of these crashes that i would encounter were caused by an impaired driver. and i developed a passion for wanting to prevent that. >> these police dashcam videos were typically used only as evidence, but now the tampa police department is posting some of the most egregious examples of drunk driving on social media sites to help raise awareness about a problem many people won't admit. >> if i arrest you for drunk driving, it's going to be a big secret. you're not going to go running and telling all your friends, this social media project is a way of getting this information out about impaired driving. >> july 19th, 2010. just after 1:00 in the morning, an officer spots a car driving erratically. the driver stops at a traffic

light well beyond the white line. after making the turn, the car weaves dangerously toward an suv in the next lane. >> he's not able to keep the vehicle straight. he can't keep the vehicle in the lane. he's going over the lane markers. he's swerving back and forth. >> the car drifts in and out of lanes until the driver hits the curb, barely missing a street sign. the officer has seen enough and pulls the driver over. a year and a half earlier, on january 1st, 2009, officer vallejo arrives on the scene to help investigate a suspicious driver. >> he's kind of an older country kind of gentleman, and his eyes were bloodshot. he had the odor of alcohol on his breath. you know, that's a telltale sign that someone's been drinking. so i proceed to do the field sobriety exercises.

what i want you to do first is put your hands down by your side, then i want you to put your left foot on the edge of the white line there. see how my foot's on the edge? >> all right. >> okay. then i want you to put your right foot directly in front of your left foot with your heel touching your toe like this. >> all right. >> and just stand there until i tell you otherwise. go ahead and put your right foot in front, sir. he's just got to stand there for me while i give the rest of the instructions for the walk and turn test. and clearly he's not able to keep one foot in front of the other. now, don't walk. just stay. sir, i don't want you to walk. then he goes ahead and starts the test without me telling him to. he walks forward and back and we have to start over. okay. you have to listen to my instructions carefully, sir, okay? don't do anything until i tell you. then i try to get him back in the instruction position to tell him the rest of the test. when i tell you to, i want you to take nine steps forward on the edge of this line. and then turn around and take nine back. so at that point, he got a little bit agitated. >> that's too much. >> well, i -- >> that's too much.

no. nine. wow. >> he just trips. he sort of falls backwards. trips over the parking lot thing and then hits the sign. it's metal. and it makes this large booming sound. >> are you all right? >> yeah, i'm fine. >> i don't want somebody to be hurt. at that point, i was just quickly trying to determine whether or not he was injured. he wasn't injured. he said he was okay. he seemed to be okay. and he seemed a little more feisty. >> hey, no, i'm not doing that. >> turn around for me. >> nine steps, sir. wow. >> and so at that point, i had seen enough, and i didn't need to gather any more evidence i didn't think, so i went ahead and put him under arrest and put him in the police car. >> man is convicted of driving under the influence and is given 12 months probation along with community service and a fine. >> everywhere i've shown this video, people laugh. it is kind of funny. it looks almost staged. but the tragic part of it is, this man who couldn't even stand up, who couldn't put one foot in

front of the other, he was in a car. he was driving a car and what could have happened is way more tragic than him going to prison or to jail. >> nine. wow. february 14th, 2009. an officer in the dui enforcement unit is conducting a different field sobriety test on a suspected impaired driver. >> stand right here. i want you to face my vehicle, please. >> okay. which way? >> i'm not going to walk. there's no walking in this exercise. >> in that particular case, the officer was attempting to do the finger to nose test, where you have to keep your hands down by your side, reach up, touch the tip of your nose to the tip of your finger. and it seems pretty simple except that when you're impaired, it's a lot harder than it is. >> okay. fingertip, touch your nose. tip of your finger touch the tip of your nose then right back down by your side.

okay? any questions. the right index fingertip. got to close your eyes. touch the tip of your nose with it, sir. >> some officers, they make visual notes of what happens. so what he's doing is he's pointing so that everybody can see, you know, where this man missed. >> touch the tip of your nose with it, sir. >> oh, are you okay? >> the man's got his head tilted back. his eyes are closed. he goes to touch the tip of his nose with the tip of his finger and he loses balance. he just falls backward. >> are you okay? come on over here. okay? >> that's all right. >> go ahead and stop right now for safety reasons, okay? come on over here. >> sorry. >> it's okay. just relax. put your hands back behind you. hold them together. hold your palms together. >> what did i do wrong? >> sir, you exhibited several clues of impairment, okay? >> you're wrong. >> i'm going to place you under arrest. >> i'm impaired.

>> you're impaired. i appreciate your honesty. >> the driver is convicted of driving under the influence and is given 12 months probation along with community service and a fine. >> if they hadn't been stopped, these very impaired people, they may have caused a crash, they may have killed themselves or killed somebody else or killed somebody's family. could have been a very tragic circumstance. hopefully people learn and understand and maybe they'll think the next time they go out, you know, i don't want to end up like that man. i don't want to end up looking like a fool on a video. i don't want to end up arrested, going to jail for a dui. >> wow. coming up -- >> he just hit the car. >> caught in the act. >> he's got two empty bottles, or a little flask of vodka. he just threw them over the fence into the bushes. and later, friends will do anything not to let friends drink and drive. >> oh, damn. >> when "caught on camera:

you're in the wrong house. how did you get in here? this way. you been drinking? >> disoriented, the man doesn't want to leave the room. the cousins suspect the man thinks he's in a friend's house. >> dude, you got to go that way. you got to go, dude. dude. >> it takes several minutes, but rubio finally forces him out of the house. the intruder stares down rubio's cousin. >> my cousin just looking at him, really, like, that was a prison stare. if someone stares you down like that, usually it means it's going to lead into a confrontation. was like, come on, are you serious? you're going to get hurt. >> it's cool, dude. we got to go.

you got the wrong house. >> rubio is relieved to have the intruder outside but is concerned about sending him into the night to fend for himself in his impaired state. >> i figured, hey, this is pretty serious, you're going to walk into the wrong people's house. i pictured the worst, they're going to shoot you, they're going to kill you. so you're going to get hit by a car. something bad is going to happen. >> that's when rubio decides to call 911 for help. >> going to call the police. i was like, man, come help me, man, because it can get ugly around here. it's funny because the dispatcher is questioning me how a person got into my house. she's like, so you let him in? i'm like, no, i didn't let him in. >> you guys know him? >> the cousins wait with the man hoping the police will arrive. but after nearly an hour, they lose their patience. >> no, you got to go this way, dude. >> i couldn't hang on to him all night. it's like, now i'm keeping him captive. it's not my job to sit here and baby sit all night.

it's probably, like, 4:00 in the morning now. i have to let him go. so that's what happened. she just wandered off into the night and disappeared. >> all right. dude. take off, dude. >> the unidentified man and rubio don't cross paths again. rubio vows to take extra precautions in the future to avoid another scary and potentially dangerous situation like this one. >> i must have left the door open and he just wandered in there like a drunk or whatever he was on. i lock it now every day. even if i live across the street, it's still locked because i don't want to go through that again. you got to go, dude. you got to go. >> confronting a stranger who's under the influence is potentially dangerous, but how about confronting a friend? when a drunk friend tries to drive home -- >> i want -- >> how far would you go to take away his keys? how about this far? >> oh, damn. >> until the day i die.

>> october 1st, 2011. a group of friends in atlanta, georgia, are heading home after attending a party. as they make their way to the parking lot, it's clear to eric green that his friend, craig, is in no condition to drive. >> i noticed that he was drunk the second i walked up to him. the look in his eyes. the smell of his breath. craig wasn't supposed to be the drinker. he was supposed to be the designated driver. >> eric demands that craig hand over his keys. >> we were arguing for an hour and a half. just trying to get the keys out of his hands. and he started talking about picking up his daughter, taking his daughter home. getting her from the baby-sitter. he doesn't care, no one is going to stop him. >> you're not going to drive your daughter home. you're not driving your daughter home. >> i would not have felt comfortable with myself if i would have allowed him to get into that car, pick up his daughter, drive who knows where and something happened. >> let me drive home. >> he got to a point where he

was like the only way you are going to get these keys is if you physically take them from me. >> he had them in his pocket. so the only way i can take the keys from him was to go into his pocket. >> i'm -- [ muted ]. >> i'm not saying you're not. you really are. i promise you, when i say i do this, it's because i love you. >> i was just the one who basically threw my hands up and said, look, i'm fed up with this, this is how we're going to solve it. >> eric tries to put an end to their argument. >> and i swear to god -- and i swear to -- >> with one swing. >> i was squarely aiming where i could hit him that would not put him to sleep or dislocate something. so i knew i was not going to cause real harm. >> the heated exchange is caught on camera by one of eric's friends. >> my friend was recording so we could show him the next day, like, look, this is how you were acting, don't be mad at me. >> listen, listen. i love you. i love you.

>> when he was on the ground, he gave me a look. the look was you're crazy, this isn't over. he was ready to get up and get into a serious physical, you know, quarrel. >> i swear, please do not -- listen. >> i didn't want to have to keep fighting him, so i wanted to end it then and there and just get his keys. >> chill, chill. >> so i put him in a sleeper hold and i said, i'm not going to hold on to it for too long, either, because that can cause brain damage. so as soon as i heard the gargle and his body go limp, let go, laid him down. >> please, please, please. i'm sorry. i swear to god, i am. >> asleep? >> no, he's okay. he's breathing. >> where's my phone? >> he's breathing. >> i didn't drop him. he could have hit his head on the ground and caused real serious harm to him. i laid him down as smooth as possible. >> you might think eric and his friends then drive craig home,

>> i knew 100% that he was going to end up seeing this. i didn't think that it was going to go viral to the sense where the whole world saw it, you know, but we were wrong. >> eric may have stopped his sfl the first time i saw the video, i was actually embarrassed. i felt as though i was looked at as though like the bad guy. but after i started seeing the reactions of other people and i was getting basically thank you for what you did, i realized that there are people here who understood the motive and not the actions. >> when you see this, brother -- >> eric may have stopped his friend from driving drunk, but he says that craig doesn't like how the situation was handled. craig declined to comment to "caught on camera." >> me and craig are not friends today. i openly apologized for my actions. not for my motives. >> oh, damn. >> however, the way that he was

reacting afterwards, he feels as though he was the victim. i cannot honestly say i would want someone to punch me in my face and put me in the sleeper hold. however, if it came to a point that that was literally the only thing that was stopping me from hurting someone that i love, then, yeah, i would want someone to stop me by any means. >> and i promise you, when you see this, brother, i swear i love you. coming up -- >> mom, be careful for the car. mom. >> i'm feeling so bad as the mother because i'm laughing so hard at him. >> surgery isn't supposed to be this much fun. >> hey, dad, i love you. i don't know how i'm doing. i'm just crying and watching soccer. >> when "caught on camera: altered states" continues. afety] ♪ [audible safety beeping] ♪

is not a laughing matter. but that doesn't stop this young man's family from finding humor in the drug-induced aftermath. >> why are you laughing at me? >> june 9th, 2012. lehigh, utah. 18-year-old chad alguire emerges from having his wisdom teeth removed and his mother and sister are there to take him home. but they can't resist documenting his altered state. chad's younger sister, alex, enjoys the moment he wakes up as only a sister can. >> one of the nurses came and said chad's done. we go into the backroom and he's in the wheelchair and chad's just crying, and it was hard not to laugh at him. >> this stuff wears off quickly, but you'll be funny for a couple hours. >> i already feel funny. >> you're numb right now. >> it's just the sound of his voice. i saw him sitting in the

wheelchair and he was crying, but he was smiling and kind of laughing kind of like he didn't know why he was crying. i just started laughing already because just his face and eyes were just so different. >> you want me to drive? >> no driving. you will not be driving for the next couple days. so everything -- >> but i like driving. >> you'd be a drunk driver out there. >> i don't even -- >> no, probably not. good thing we're recording it. >> chad is wheeled out to the car, half sobbing, half laughing, and totally philosophical. >> okay. you just sit back and relax. >> everything's so clear. boy, just like -- i don't know how they did it. like, i was just in there and now i'm done. >> does it hurt? >> i feel really good, though. >> that's good. >> we should come and visit this place.

they're really nice people. >> i'm feeling so bad as the mother because he's over there, he's crying, too. we're both crying. i'm crying because i'm laughing so hard at him. >> my body just feels so loose, that i, like, can't sit straight. and when i cry, i cry. i mean when i laugh i cry. >> you know, sometimes i cry when i laugh. >> mom, be careful for this car. mom, oh. you scared me. >> i'm sorry. >> it's okay, mom. you're a good driver. hey. hi. hi. >> they get chad home, but the trip's far from over. >> where did my shoes go? why did i take them off? whoa. when i bend over, i get loopy. >> he got out of the car, we brought him in here, and then as he sat down, we started

recording again. because he was still rambling. >> how are you doing today. >> good, how are you? >> how are you doing today? >> good. >> are we going to have a fire tonight? >> if you want to. >> i don't want to make it, because i think i'm kind of stoned. my dad worked so hard to build it for us. >> i called his dad because he was being so funny. i thought, he's got to hear this. >> look at my tongue. is it numb? >> is it numb? >> who is it? >> it's your dad. say hi to your dad. >> hey, dad, i love you. i don't know how i'm doing. i'm just crying and watching soccer. >> he was cracking up on the phone. >> but if you want, you can give me -- but don't spend lots of money because we need to save our money for, like, the great depression. why are you laughing at me? >> by the next day, chad is back to normal, and the family

watches the video together. >> it was weird watching me be like that because i don't remember acting like that. i didn't remember any of it, so it's like, oh, man. so it was funny because just how i was acting. like, that's not really how i am normally and i was just bouncing everywhere from subject to subject. >> i have no idea where the great depression came from. that line. he thought it was wonderful. he was totally okay with it. he was never embarrassed by anything he said or how he acted. he enjoyed laughing at himself. >> mom, mom -- >> the unembarrassed chad posts the video online for his relatives in other states to see. to his surprise, it gets more than 2 million views. >> i'm so funny. >> look at all these cars. >> but the post doesn't come without its critics. >> there's, like, comments on youtube, like, why would you put this up? why would you do this to your son? but it was chad who put it up. he doesn't care. and we're not trying to embarrass him or anything. >> it's cool. i never thought i would have a video that would get a million hits. i never thought i would have

people come interview me or people want to use my video. and i get so scared. people watch and it makes them happy, that's awesome. this cheek is killing me. damage on a massive scale. huge structures reduced to rubble in seconds. crashing to the ground. >> i've never seen anything like this before. it's terrifying. >> trains demolish trucks in their path. >> i was stunned. i thought, what is he doing? don't take a chance like that. >> houses crumble.
