03:16
gold, like, tourist-looking car.
03:20
The 1999 Ford. Just confirming,
03:23
we're not following him, so his driving pattern is independent of us, correct?
03:30
Correct, I stopped calling, but he got to the red light, he just stopped at the red light, and it was a little bit of the car, so I got out,
03:36
challenged him.
03:37
He just stared at me, like he was in like an ultramental state.
03:41
Then I approached the car,
03:43
and he just worked the car in.
03:45
Go ahead. 41057.
03:47
162. You can let the fast units know that there's a single one vehicle coming that way from patrol, just in case.
03:56
Hey, did we have anybody turn in the phone? In Indiana's in the area 39th Boulevard of 34th Street. Bola 1st Signal 12[1] started in the county and was unable to maintain lanes, tailgate out, was speeding a dark sedan.
04:10
He just wanted to on-combe and traffic at 13th of University and he's found on a university house.
04:19
Just let him go.
04:21
Guys, he is not going to stop, Moth.
04:24
Just whoever is here? Yeah.
04:32
1040.
04:35
Just, Gainesville, do we have, uh,
04:38
if we get any, like, Signal 12[1]s, independent of him,
04:42
independent of us taking any type of activity on this guy,
04:46
then, uh,
04:47
we need to know. Because if he's got some type of alternate status and he's driving erratic, that in of itself is a danger to the public.
