Data emisji: Paź 27, 2010

A taxi passenger does a runner to avoid paying the fare, but instead of running away from the cab, the passenger steals it leaving the driver standing at the roadside. A witness follows the taxi and can direct police to where it’s hidden behind a block of flats. The dog squad and a helicopter come in on the hunt but the man has vanished. What he’s left behind though is a perfect recording taken by the in car camera in the taxi! Officer Dean Pickering catches a young driver disobeying a no entry sign and driving into a bus zone. Dean discovers the car has an extremely loud exhaust and some other problems. When the driver readjusts his attitude Dean gives him the less expensive tickets. A car is pulled over but because the owner is suspended, but the driver claims he’s not the owner of the car, that’s his brother. Officer Ash Bowden has heard this so many times before and the driver doesn’t have a wallet to prove he is who he claims to be. But when the driver’s wife admits everything the driver still won’t back away from his story and he’s arrested and taken to the police station. Officer Evan Brown pulls over a driver for doing 130 on the freeway. While he is dealing with the speeding driver he spots a taxi pulling over on the other side of the freeway with flames coming out the exhaust.
