Squad, I'm at (name withheld). I have a black Cadillac on the left-hand lane here. Looks like it's abandoned. It's got hazard lights on. Can you run this play for me? (name withheld). Okay, (name withheld), and what, where is it from? Well, I'm here as employed from the Cook County Sheriff. He believes that the black car belonged to one of the sheriffs here. He says he's got a tow coming. The only thing is, like I said, hello. He's getting hold of the... The owner of the vehicle, you can see a lot of less than a GAs on the pole. Okay, what state is the platform we still want to put in a ticket? Illinois. All right, by the copy that it's owned by a fellow sheriff and a tow is coming. Well, I just be advised. It's going to be 45 minutes before the tow gets here, so... Okay, 10-4. All right, 1033, FYI, it's coming up clear and valid. It's not hot. Yeah, like I said, it belongs to an employee for the Cook County Sheriff to show police officer's car. Like I said, he ordered it. He said he's going to apply to the 10th District, but I just happened to run in on it. So I'm just going to stand behind it just a red traffic on the road because... Already cars are going on the left way on the opposite direction of traffic and I don't want to get anybody getting into an accident.
