Yeah, cuz he probably got them there.
Um,
I drew you a piece of paper, man.
Thank you.
Write your friend's name down
in English.
That's the RO of the car.
Not that one.
Jason.
That's his name ain't Jason.
That ain't the whose car is registered to.
We already ran the tag.
Whose car is it?
We already got the information whose car it is.
It's not this guy.
Thanks.
Did you hear?
Hey, are you good here?
I'm going to go check this photo out.
Yeah, I'm good here.
Unless this guy's going to jump up and freak me out.
I
came to the wrong place if you're messing around.
Sony, my my English is not good.
Can you change the Sony?
I said you came to the wrong place if you're messing around.
Yeah, sorry.
I don't know.
Okay.
I'm sorry, too.
What language do you speak?
Korean.

You know, if anything, people will know don't play here.
Yeah, exactly.
Huh?
It's not him.
Is that who he's saying it is still?
Yeah.
I mean to the best of my knowledge he gave me his phone Chinese and gave me the translator.
I don't know how much English he really knows to be full completely
but uh he uh told me that this is who the guy is and I told him you know he had those things in his pocket but they're blank you know there's no value to them.
You know what I mean?
I don't know what he planned on doing.
So the problem is is that this ID never comes back to nothing and that name
that's so it's a fake ID.
It's got to be
there's a way of like uh telling there there's stuff out there that has
books and whether or not you know it's real and it could be like totally good you know they're really good at what they do you know.
Yeah.
Have you ever been arrested before Chinese?
Just going to go to Chinese.

I don't think because it doesn't it doesn't come back when we run the number.
It doesn't come back.
So some of the the other officers I said I have a copy of but I don't know that it's going to be legit.
Yeah.
We don't we don't think it is you know
I mean it can make them look really real and you Yeah.
