Eddie and Jamie pursue a vehicle when they witness it being carjacked. Eddie sees a car seat in the back but can not determine whether a child is in the seat.

Jamie points out that the carjacker was already going at a high rate of speed and may have caused the accident regardless. He also points out that they called in the pursuit and were not told to disengage. Jamie and Eddie win their case.
