and discourage others doing so defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty how you doing hi you doing good how are you not too bad you have a driver's license with you sure all right around 12:28 a.m. on October 7 2023 officer Nicholas Windsor with the Del Beach Police Department observed a westbound 2020 as golf cart running through a red light signal at the intersection of the Atlantic Avenue and any Avenue a Northbound vehicle on the same road that was about to turn left westbound onto any sth Avenue had the green signal but the vehicle had to stop in order to Avo striking the golf cart based on this traffic infraction officer Windsor began pursuing the golf cart and observed the driver turn right Northbound onto any 6th Avenue while swerving back and forth the travel Lane a mark FD bicycle travel Lane he activated his emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop and the golf cart pulled into the parking blot of 115 in6 A near the Anthony's cold Fired Pizza and Wings restaurant I am all right is the golf cart registered to you yes all right you know why you got pulled over um no at 7th did you not know you had a red light on 7th yeah did you see the car got turn in front of you when it was making it left you didn't see that car at all I did not I was not aware sorry okay all right you had you had a solid road all the way he like he was already coming out into the lane to make a turn left okay do westbound so that's why I pulled you over okay understood all right where are you heading to my helmet all right is everything good for your license no one pay tickets no suspensions or anything correct okay all right hang tight for me one second I'll get you guys out here as soon as I can okay no problem nope [Music] all right containers are all in the car everything else I can run I'm might run through um that way I don't know if you guys are okay I'll run through it so you can see the investigation side what I'm looking for and uh we'll go from there that way you'll be able to lo you that am right oh all right man hey how are you not not too bad um I got a few questions sure all right do you know your license is suspended my license yes no I do not know that all right it's suspended for n uh financial responsibility from June um usually that's something to do with like insurance or okay um it doesn't give me a reason other than financial responsibility so I don't know yeah it was like June 29th or something like that okay um sure did you change insurance companies anytime soon or L it was no well for this for this vehicle we did like any of them I guess maybe it was like within 6 months sure all right good that makes sense because uh at the end of the day um when you cancel insurance and get a new company or something that you it still come falls back onto the owner's responsibility make sure DMV knows that they have insurance what happens is usually your old Insurance the the big ones are usually good but the old insurance will say they're cancelled but the new company won't notify the DMV and now they think they have a tag that's out with no insurance on it um so that that's probably what is going on with that all right okay um my second concern out of it is you didn't see a red light I did not yeah okay where are you heading to okay where are you guys coming from tonight um we were coming from uh Hideaway delare Hideway okay the one uh across the bridge yeah across the bridge Y and we just came over this bridge and then we were headed home like almost there all right do you have any medical conditions
