And he was like, I'm confiscating it. Don't worry about it. You know what I mean? If it goes bad. Yeah, this is a legal thing. And nobody said nothing about me sitting in the back of the cop car. And I'm like hanging out. And I was having a good time. And another time he got asked to sit there and wait while a woman was dead and they had to wait for something to happen.
