You see a man driving in a nice car
Just because you see a black man driving in a nice car does not mean it's stolen.
I saw the sentence in a movie and I was wondering if the structure of "you see a black man driving in a nice car" is the same as I saw him driving in a nice car or I saw a guy who is driving in a nice car.
What do you native English speakers think and how do you figure it out in those cases? Thank you so much.
