Police body cam shows Jason Rivera, 46, behind the wheel of his vehicle not properly understanding the officer’s orders and unable to communicate properly.

He had been pulled over for driving erratically.

According to KOB News, an affiliate with NBC, it took minutes for Rivera to follow one simple order given to him by the police officer, who wanted to remain anonymous.

The officer in the video can be heard telling Rivera he hit multiple cars and was also driving on the wrong side of the road.

If convicted, Rivera could face up to three years in jails and a fine of up to $5,000. That sentence would also come with a lifetime ban of driving.

Rivera’s bond was set at $50,000.
