Also identified and reported a clear DUI/DWI, which when reported also discovered that the plates belonged to a different car, and not the chevy impala/malibu they were on. Watched them get picked up about 10 minutes later.
hey we live int he same fantasy land, cool

good looking out too.

hello Iowa.
