A firm said northbound, commercial northbound from court in the southbound lane zone.

I'm just wondering if you think we're there yet as far as the danger to the public if he's turned to chalk people's cars.
03:30
Yeah, I still don't think we can clear a pursuit for what we have, but I think if we can get a good pit or if we can get a good block based on the fact that he's running on a rim,
03:40
just trying to make an effort for that.

04:28
Affirm, the State Archive Building.
04:34
Copy.
04:38
