The woman driver immediately got out of the car and started walking towards Danny's. Police stopped the driver from doing this by commanding her to get back into the car. Police identified her and the male passenger, who quickly became verbally aggressive when police were commanding the woman to get back into the car. The woman claimed she did see the blue lights from the police vehicle, but did not know what was going on, so she walked away, not knowing she was being pulled over. The man said he was upset because he has told the woman to fix her window tint and the plate cover because they both know it's illegal, but she doesn't listen to him. He said he respects cops, but he does not want anything to do with them. Police asked the man if anything illegal was in the vehicle, to which he said they had CBD. Police searched the vehicle per the woman's consent, and found nothing of police interest. The woman was given a verbal warning, and they were sent on their way.
