Spectacular race with the police in Sofia, they detained a man

"The windshield is stronger, it won't hurt the driver's face. Most likely, the colleagues took out their weapons in a hurry to show respect, they weren't going to shoot, the windows were just darkened and you couldn't see inside," he suggested. 

The driver and his female passenger try to swap.
