I'm just gonna see if you're tied up.
00:01
I got a car dodging me over at McDonald's, but it looks like they're leaving.
00:05
I'm gonna try to him.
00:06
Stopped here.
00:09
Okay, I'm in Raltese.
00:23
Stand by there, reversing back in the parking lot now.
00:26
If you want to go back behind McDonald's, they're trying to get out that back entrance that way, if you want to stay hidden.
00:42
If you sit somewhere on 3rd Avenue, maybe blacked out, I'm like that way.
00:47
That's where they were trying to go.
00:51
Break for seven.
00:54
Okay.

When I first saw it was a male driver, I still know for the RO.
01:07
I think it might not have a county sticker either.
01:09
Maybe try to find a second reason to stop it, other than the driver's license issues.
01:13
Clear?
01:16
I'm on north end now.
01:20
What was your traffic?
01:23
I'm set up on north end.
01:28
You're clear.
01:29
They're facing that way.
01:31
Do you think they can see you from that south end of the parking lot or no?
01:36
They just hit their hazards.
01:40
Yeah, they all just got out of the car.
01:43
They're walking away from it.
01:46
All right, I mean, the biggest team to do is tree line.
01:49
Do you have a direction of travel?
01:54
They're going inside.
01:56
I'm sure they'll get back in the car eventually.
01:59
They have some 34s with them.
02:02
Okay.
02:05
They parked, sat in a parking lot for a minute, went through the drive-thru, then parked,
02:12
then went to leave, and then reversed back in when they saw me again, so I don't know what they're doing.
02:17
All right, I'm on third.
02:19
If they go north, on north end, I did not have a visual.
02:23
You can let me know if you need to get behind them then, but I got them if they come south.
02:29
You're clear.
02:30
Yeah, that's all I was worried about is going south.
02:34
I'll have them coming out on Broad either way.
02:39
All right, yep.
02:43
The R.A., I'm not sure if he's the driver, but he's got some pretty recent 70s charges.
02:51
Clear. Is he still inside?
02:54
Yeah,
02:56
they're inside McDonald's.
03:03
49 to 70s, it is 26 in it.
03:08
Should be.
03:11
You're clear.
03:14
I just turned on there.
03:16
I'm on the air, I guess.
03:18
I'm pulling back too, folks.
03:22
You're clear.
03:23
No rush.
03:25
I'll probably pull off of this is...
03:32
49.26.
03:35
Good.
03:38
Would you rather run on a car that's just unoccupied in a parking lot or wait on and try to stop it?
03:48
Nah, if you can get a stop on it,
03:50
that'd be preferred.
