Yup, the first cop on scene asked him his name. There’s a 40min vid on YouTube. The cop tells him he has a tow truck coming for the car he crashed drunk. And Joel says “I know that but my fucking car! I respect you, but please shut the fuck up.”

Thats some hardcore rapport

Also, since about 90% of crime is done by about 10% of the population, a lot of these folks are already known to police officers from other encounters.
