You didn't need it. I was just trying to get the cash back on. I got to I got to ask I got Let me ask you this. If that is the case, you saying that I'm being detained or I might possibly go to jail right now. You're detained. Okay. Right. I'm detained. Okay. If I'm not detail, I hope not. what's going to go on with her and over here still like leave off with the car. So, she already told me she doesn't have no valid license. She has no license. All right. So, I told her it's up to you if you want to leave the car in her care. >> Okay. >> All right. If you want to leave it with her, she can't move it. It's going to be staying here. >> All right. So, she can get somebody possibly. >> Great. >> Now, if she decides she wants to leave, >> we have no other right to leave without and she decides right now she said, "Hey, such and such the one I want to go and she leaves, we're going to tow the vehicle gets towed to the toward, whichever toward it is, we'll give you a tow receipt. So, whenever you get out, you can go pick it up." >> I mean, we knew it was our guy right off the rip because as soon as you walk up to his car, I mean, actually, you can see it while I was driving down the road, the big yellow box that says DeWalt on the side of it in the back seat. Yeah. Yeah. And he doesn't have tent, so you can He doesn't have tent on his windows, so you can see the merchandise he has. And And they they chased him for a little while because um he was turning down a bunch of different roads trying to lose him. So, and he actually did lose him uh the last about 60 seconds, but our officers found uh intercepted him on Duvall. So, luckily we were close enough to him that when uh when when that um awesome client finally lost him, we were able to find him again. >> Do you have anything inside the car that we need to know about? >> No, sir. >> Drugs, knives, guns, no sir. Okay. None of that. >> But the thing is this right here. Why can't she just get somebody that she knows? Uh >> she doesn't have a valid license. >> No, no, no, no. I understand that. But somebody that she knows. >> You have to get You have to get somebody that she knows. You got to get somebody knows can drive this car, but you already said it yourself. >> Car is not supposed to be on the road registration. >> You said it yourself. Exactly. Tell you know the car registration expired. You know it looks >> looks suspicious as hell. Okay. So why would you put somebody in that position when we could just tow the car for you? You're going to pay the money out your pocket instead of getting somebody else jammed up because I really ain't got the money. I'm not trying to get nobody jammed up. That's what you going to do though. And I really don't have the money to get it out the door. If that what if that happened. All I was saying was she knows somebody that has a driver's license. You see what I'm saying? That she knows that can come up here with a valid driver's license that can drive my car back to the destination. >> What's his destination? >> Back to the back to the hotel room. >> What hotel is this? uh days in. >> So the thing about it is that that >> doing that is going to run us to situations. What if this happens again? What if this car gets pulled over again for the same invalid tag? >> Understand? >> And that that can that can and will happen. >> All right. Let's just say this car leaves and somebody with a valid license comes and drives it. Guess it's an accident. >> We knowingly let this car drive off here being not registered. I mean, I got I mean, it's not it's not registered. It's it's expired. >> This part hits on the human side. [music] The girlfriend's stuck, no license, cars getting towed. He's worried about her, but it's his choices putting [music] everyone in jeopardy. There's real emotion here. You sense his regret creeping in. Justice wise, [music] it's a reminder that lying to cops just digs a deeper hole. If he'd been up front early, maybe things lighten up. [music] But now it's escalating. I've reacted to cases like this and it always boils down to accountability. >> So tell me, is this really you? >> Don't do me like that. >> Don't do that. What's the address on this? >> 660. Well, my new address. >> I said, what's the address on this right here? >> Decatur, Alabama. >> So you don't know your past address?

So that that that that that looked real bad. >> So I I know I know that ain't you cuz you got a full bid. That person ain't got no full bid. >> You couldn't even tell me the address. You couldn't tell me the address. Couldn't tell the date of birth, >> right? Why you going to do that, man? That's why I messed up. >> Well, what the first thing I told you? Be straight. >> Straight up. >> I said be straight up. Be straight up. >> You going to be straight about the retail theft? >> I'm going be straight up. I tried to return it. name to another.

That must be different in Alabama. You ain't right. You ain't from us now. That's from a different species up there. >> Must be a different species, man. >> Home Depot. >> All right. We going to get this up. >> You can put them in the car. Pat him down. Hey, listen. Um, Becky. >> Yes, sir. >> Here's what I got for you. Contact somebody to come pick you up. >> All right. This car is not This car is not This car is not leaving. >> It will be towed. >> Go ahead. stand well. Handcuffs are actually made to fit a certain way. So, if you have your wrist turned the wrong way, so if you keep your knuckles touching, they'll fit more comfortably. You feel how they're not >> they're not tight. All right. Step over here. >> Huh? Uh, I can if you need me to. >> Uh, so if you need to go to Home Depot. >> Oh, fine. Let's go. >> That's my car.

Yeah. So, when you're 19, I take that one. Yo, come on. Bro, it's like no matter what. Well, this thing leaking oil. He was charged with theft, providing a false ID, and having an active misdemeanor warrant. >> Wrapping this up, the admission seals [music] it. He knows he's caught. And the 120 days in [music] jail, that's the consequence staring back. It's [music] a stark lesson on how small crimes compound with lies. I feel for the guy in his panic, [music] but justice has to prevail. Cases like this make you think about second chances [music] versus protecting the
