foreign Lake Forest Police Department the reason I stopped you today sir is your license plates are suspended and they come back to a blue Ford not a die I don't know I just I just uh I just got the car okay you have your driver's license and insurance you have insurance for the car oh no okay so are these plates yours or no it's from my um I just had a truck I just sold okay so these license plates are suspended for uh mandatory insurance so that means at some point you didn't have insurance that means we sent you a letter saying you need to reinstate Insurance you probably did um and then the only thing is what we've seen is that um you didn't pay the reinstatement fee which is like the leaves like around yeah I just switch it over there that's not okay so you don't have your insurance with you I mean your uh no insurance no driver's license I don't have one what about your driver's license okay so you just bought the car yeah so you bought the car two months ago stated a lot of yesterday they just put that data all right that doesn't make sense but okay I don't know uh barely so I'll give me a second no in a little bit but I just want to make sure to verify you as well sir so where are you heading I'm going home you have anything with your name on your picture like ID or nothing okay Murray Cox that's the previous owner then okay what is your last name sir Brown first name common spelling yes middle initial Christopher uh numbers no middle initial uh what's your date of birth zero six zero one and you're out of North Chicago you said nah I'm in North Chicago now but I'm from Chicago from Chicago okay all right okay so just stay in the car and I'll be right back okay Mr Brown thank you suspended plates are not his he said he just bought the car um it comes because it comes back to a blue Ford no insurance no driver's license pretty empty in the car um but I'm gonna double check the VIN once we're both up there I'm gonna have him open the door so I can verify them in okay um so other than that I mean I'm still probably going to sign up for it for driving it actually no he has no insurance but the car's not just the car's not suspended because it's a different place he has a register his car okay so that would still be it though so I gotta I'll double check with the boss [Applause] okay so Michael Brown channel to me I got to go based off at this it's like oh they were trying to sell it to someone else I don't know man two months without you know register and they let you keep the plates and they're suspended because it took a while for him to stop I don't think you saw my lights it's all right so um yeah just stand right here with me and then we'll go up there did you see anything car when he was trying to wait because it took him a while no I mean it's pretty dark tint not too dark but I didn't he just I could see him through the side mirror um so I never saw him look back and see my lights until like right after Gage yeah it's like I called it out before we even hit Gage we went past Gage and then I kept that's the thing I kept blowing my siren um so and he I don't know I don't know if he couldn't hear or what up what was going on um until he finally realized and it pulled over here so hey Miss around um can I just have you step out here in the back real quick real quick I just want to ask you a few questions um in regards to the car thank you and then I need to verify the bin too so being there so um yeah what's your if you can sign back here please what's your address out of North Chicago but where you're living at right now I live in Chicago you live in Chicago so you're going but you're going to North Chicago okay where do you live in uh Chicago okay because uh I'm just trying to understand again I get that you just bought the car I do see that you filled out the back portion of it I mean obviously it's not registered yet so it's technically an unregistered vehicle but the plates you have on come back I was going to transfer them you know like from the car whose plates are these though so these plates go to this is my girlfriend place from her car okay so your girlfriend's plates are what's your girlfriend's name uh Alice okay herb license plates are suspended for no insurance oh she needs to get that take but she don't have the truck anymore so that's the only reason that we stay at the place all right so one that's an improper use of registration so I mean that's already a traffic offense I mean that's because that's the biggest thing that caught my eye is that it comes back to a different car instead of the one that you're driving so that's according to the Illinois vehicle code that's a violation no you can't even drive without a plate uh because you have a certain amount of time to the car registered now I mean I get you saying that they just put a date on it but we have to go based on what's here okay this means that it's been roughly almost two months as you registered the vehicle um so technically it's an unregistered vehicle now you don't have insurance for the car too exactly so because you do have a certain amount of time and I'll confirm that uh how long you have from when you purchase a vehicle to go ahead and get it registered I'll have to confirm right now um I can't even tell you right off top of my head right now but um when is it that you purchased it yeah okay while you're looking for that you have an idea when you purchase it um probably like two weeks ago two weeks ago okay all right so I'm gonna while you look for that uh just stay here with my part number everybody verify the pin okay okay June 30th okay so it's been a couple weeks so let me verify that real quick so so odds are what's probably going to happen um due to the fact how the plates are uh to being also an unregistered vehicle it's probably gonna happen on being straight to be honest with you right now I'm surrounded that the car is probably going to get towed you're gonna get some tickets mandatory court date um I'll give you that information but let me just confirm first how long you have I have to talk to my supervisor but that's again letting you know now that's probably what's going to happen as far as exactly no not with with these plates down the street um this is at this point you're on the roadway with driving a vehicle one with suspended plates that don't match so that's you know again that's two technical at this point two technically two violations and then the no insurance with that adds the having to tow the car so let me first let me just verify everything talk to my supervisor um but at least I want to give you a heads up but you know that's probably what's going to happen so at least if you need to find a ride or I need to give you a ride somewhere the closest I can get you is um to the Blue Moon restaurant right there on 41 and 137 so right there North Chicago borderline type thing um if I knew if you can't get a ride but just sit uh you can get back in your car sir I just wanted to verify with me we'll go from there okay so you don't have anything with your name on it anything that I can take a look at a picture of an ID or anything debit card nothing okay uh who's Michael Colburn uh that's the person I bought okay so that's the sign okay and yeah okay so you start to fill out your portion um So based on what I read you have to register the car technically as soon as possible within 24 hours of taking ownership so there's really no like five days 10 days 30 days so right now technically the car is unregistered as you're using other cars license plates which is also a violation and then no insurance one I'm so trying to verify who you are if you have a ballot driver's license you can let me know now if there's any issues with your driver's license so we can get ahead on that but um because you have such a common name it's a little bit it takes some time to look up because it's last name Brown person Christopher that's why I was asking if he had anything with your uh with your identification or anything on it so I'm going to give this back to you it's still going to be a little bit um but yeah so once I care back as far as if you have a valid driver's license like I said what's going to end up happening um is that the car is going to be towed I'll give you the information where it's going to be towed you're going to be given a mandatory court date you're going to be released on a signature or a recognizant bond or I Bond where we call that technically it is an arrestable offense but I I I'm okay with that just letting you go on your signature you just have to show up to court get the car registered you're gonna have to explain the same thing to a judge as far as like look I was using other person's plates so because of how the statute is or how the law is that if the says the license plates are suspended for no insurance and you have no insurance we have to totally come so and well then at that point it adds on the no insurance and no registration so it's it's the same thing um when you have the both factors with no insurance and something with an issue with the registrations because technically you're not even you shouldn't even be driving the car at all because it's not registered at this point you know it should be parked and I get it you probably have you got it you have to go to get back report to work uh probably haven't had time to go and get you know to DMV and get all that situated um but it's still our responsibility to kind of get that taken care of as soon as possible so just hang in your car let me get all that information uh situated and then I'll I'll confirm with you what's exactly what's going to happen once I hear back okay all right all right thank you that means possible all right Mr Brown so they're they're not able to look up your information my dispatch what address do you have on your driver's license you know uh it should be one that's covered the 2019 yes okay because it's not coming up and then just so it's last name Brown b-r-o-w-n first name Christopher no middle initial your date of birth is June 1st 1990. okay do you have a valid driver's license yeah okay give me a quick second okay thank you all right Miss Brown so we're not able to find your driver's license I got to get some some piece of information that's going to help me identify you um as we looked up the I looked up the address okay so I heard you wrong so that's on me then uh so give me a few more minutes and we'll try to get that taken care of hey boss um just because I've never had a situation where we can't figure out who this person is all right so I have your phone your wallet all your change which is quite a bit um I see why you wanted and then your tablet and the charger what looks like for the tablet okay and you'll get all that back once we're done oh thank you stand in front of that wall right there all right so I'm gonna start you one more time um and then once I do that I can go ahead and take off the handcuffs and take a seat okay can you separate your feet for me please thank you what do you mean right yeah it's a pretty uh distinct car you got two blue stripes all right you take a seat and just one last thing if you can take off your shoes for me please take them out you're good so I do need to step out and get some paperwork so I am just going to handcuff here too here or if you do not want to be handcuffed I can put you in one of the cells whatever
