Transcript

So, here's the deal. If you guys cooperate with me, lock that thing up, come get it later, okay? I'll cut you all a break. I'm going to document your names. If I catch him on this again anywhere in the city, okay? Unless it's your private property or private property somewhere in the city, that's the only exception. Okay. Okay, then I'm going to take it and make you guys pay to impound to get it out. Okay. And then if I can prove you knew about it, you're going to get charged. Fair enough? Understood. Is there any questions? Hopefully it's clear as mud. It just upsets me that you sounds like you did know in a roundabout way. You're telling me that you do know that it's illegal. That's funny. I have the glasses. This is the smallest one we could get.
