(traffic sounds) so officer, (say can) sekhon of the san leandro police department will pull the car over and have chat with the driver who has a lyft decal in the windowi'm officer sekhon of the san leandro police department the reason i pulled you over because that stop sign back there the car in front you stopped but then you didn't stop you just went right through it uh i don't remember i did see it.. you didn't see it the driver then insisted that he did stop when the other car stopped so every car at the stop sign needs to stop this is when he was asked for drivers license .the driver says it's in his back pocket, so he gets out to show it yes this is my old one oh it's old ...so do you think your driver's license is expired? yes, expired for a long time . 2003 to be exact the driver claims to have has a legal issue a few years ago ok do me a favor, just have a seat back in there ok can you had me the keys please .while officer (say- kan) sekhon checks things i tired to have a chat with the driver ((so are you working for lyft right now)) yes ((where's is your

driver's license)) yes it doesn't work .. i name this is my brother (( oh it's in your brother's name)) yes ((but you're working for it)) yes my brother working nights i'm working days ((ok you know you kinda have to have a driver's license)) yea my driver's license is is a long time ago ( long pause ) in a hold alright fair enough now while i was talking to him, more information came to light listen in when ask how his license was suspended dui so how long have you been driving for lyft this is two weeks let me ask you this does lyft run your license? before they can authorize you to work for themthat when he revealed to the officer that it's his brothers account my brother... ok so lyft doesn't really know that you're driving under your bothers account theni'm going to have you come out of the vehicle and have you sign your citation where he gets detained ((handcuffs click)) placed in the police cruiser while things are sorted out

first thing i pulled you over because, you ran that stop sign alright and then you have a suspended license .. and it's saying you are suppose to have the ignition airlock you know the thing you are suppose to blow in yea that car is not equipped with it so he will get cited and the car will be towed with a 30 day hold (it's very expensive) just think about what could of happened, you could have been driving someone in your car under your brothers lyft id with no license, with no ignition interlock it probably would have been a little worse so he will have to find another way home when asked if there was someone to pick him up you got someone to pick you up? i need to take uber not having the interlock comes with fine up to 5 thousand dollar. have you picked up any passengers today no i take one passenger to the airport but that's it my advice,before you get in the car make sure the photo on the lyft app matches the photo of the driver just don't look at the license plate...in san leandro stanley roberts kron 4 news (robin) coming up on the kron four
