But registration, I couldn't see I couldn't see the registration because it's up underneath the uh the the the uh lip on the gunnel. Um I'm pretty sure there'll probably be something else that comes out about this, but just him and complaining. Yeah, for my initial and I'll put it in my report. I initially was just going to write him a warning. He was just going to get a warning for the registration. Um, so and then he started doing that and I was then when he started doing that I was going to detain him um until I got what I needed because him being verbally argumentative with me and uh then he pulled back.
