The Footage Of Reese Witherspoon Being Arrested Is Fantastic

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, it is better than I had dared hope.

TMZ has gotten ahold of the dashboard camera footage from the police car during Reese Witherspoon's arrest for disorderly conduct last month.

Though we had already read all about her best quotations from the arrest (which reminded me of her amazing role in the cult film Freeway), it is truly special to hear them coming out of her mouth. In between saying things like the now classic "I'm a U.S. citizen, I'm allowed to stand on American ground" and "Do you know my name, sir?", she also gets super... Southern-sounding a few times?

The police report had actually left out my new favorite: "This is beyond."

Spoiler alert here if you haven't watched the video, which... you must. It's a little weird to hear Jim Toth, Witherspoon's husband, who was being arrested for drunk driving simultaneously, sell her out at the end, apologizing to the cop: "I'm sorry, I had nothing to do with that."
