It looks like the conditions were not good so they may give him a preferred lie.
He went into a penalty area, BUT, he may still get a free drop as it may have been marked incorrectly.
His car was out of bounds but an OB stake had been moved so he really wasn't out of bounds
As this was match play(one on one) and as he was ahead of the tee markers, he may be required to do a do over. Or play the first one as it lies.
In this match play, his opponent, the police officer, may at anytime concede the match, even if he is ahead at the time of concession.
In life, like golf, it's always best to know and obey the rules. Breaking the rules can create a
plethora of penalties. That being said, if there is a question of breaking a rule and there are only the player and his opponent, the player gets the benefit of the doubt.
In any case, the lesson here is to always, always, get to the golf course well ahead of your tee time in case something unforeseen happens.
