my lt and sorry going to
find out what's going on
just give me a second
eight what's up
when'd you retire
99th
you retired in 99
city of miami assigned to the drug
enforcement agency
i've seen that you wish that i wish
you guys would never see
there are some of them
do you have some in the front two lights
or it's just the ones that we saw in the
back just the ones in the back there's a
strobe in the front
like i tell you i don't put them on
what year is this car 2012
was it did it used to be white
no
because it was right here
because it was always red
there's a lawsuit for the car with uh
with the mars red i bought it at the
route lincoln
it's into my wife
with the tag agency to update that
because they put it as silver really
i shouldn't so the registration says
oh
you said you have lights in the front
too this is one of the visors i can take
it off
brother my question is
that's not true the other day you just
put it on the other day
oh you've been tired since 99 what are
you doing dude
i don't know i don't know what was your
purpose for putting it on to get into
the building into the property
online what property this one if you
notice they block the intersection
constantly i don't need to lie to you
guys
hopefully
so why
why are we getting a call that you're
trying to pull people over i'm not
pulling anybody
so the lights must have came on because
nobody would have known you had lights
if they didn't turn on i didn't pull
nobody over i'm not saying you did but
obviously somebody somehow saw your
lights
they somehow saw your lights because
they called us they gave us the tag to
your car they gave us a type of car
and they said that it had red and blue
lights so
obviously those lights were activated if
somebody you can't see that you can't
see those lights
if they're not on
no i'm telling you anytime i activate
them

the complex now
