Dashcam footage shows Britney Spears refusing to exit car during DUI arrest

Dashcam footage of Britney Spears’ DUI arrest in March has been released.

In the video, recorded by California Highway Patrol, the singer can be seen repeatedly refusing to get out of her vehicle after officers told her they could “smell alcohol coming from the car”.

At one point, she instead suggested that officers come round to her house for “food and lasagne”.

After relenting and unsuccessfully completing the test, Spears was arrested on DUI suspicion. “I wasn’t even drinking, you guys are lying,” she tells officers as she is driven to a hospital for a blood test.

Spears pleaded guilty to a reduced charge and was sentenced to 12 months of summary probation and one day in jail, credited as time served. She was fined $571 and will attend a three-month driving under the influence programme.
