Jenny’s mind spun with uncertainty. What is the officer up to? Where is he going? She quickly considered her options. Should I drive away? But then what? She was acutely aware that fleeing from an officer would only worsen her situation, especially since she hadn’t done anything wrong. The thought crossed her mind that if she drove off, he might accuse her of a crime anyway, getting her into trouble regardless of her innocence.
Watching the officer hastily return to his patrol car, Jenny felt a spike of curiosity mixed with alarm. What was he doing? She squinted, trying to figure it out. He was messing with something inside his vehicle, but what? She squinted again. And then she saw it. Her stomach dropped when she realized he was tampering with the dash cam. This was bad. Really bad.
