I ride Motorcycle, and I for one think anyone that has their cell plugged to their ear while driving distracted is a danger to me and they should be stopped. Hey you wanted an opinion...
As to the rest do felons go around advertising they are armed, in violation of the law? Probably not.....
Do honest law abiding citizens go around openly armed... Depends on the state law, and there it is a yes...
He walked up to a stop gun on the side and camera in hand, yeah if I was a cop I would be nervous about that too...
The cop called his super to act as a mediator, good move...
Trying to quote law when you do not know it... A Typical move.... Requesting the letter of, good idea helps to defuse the situation....
Yes they could have arrested him on any number of charges that would not hold up under any form of scrutiny, but the point it they do this all the time... Think not... Just refuse an order an officer gives you and see what happens next...
was this attempted intimidation by the officer, yep, did it work, sort of... he left didn't he...
Should he have interfered / intervened in his GF traffic stop, no bad idea.... It was his GF and he went macho.... again bad idea...
He should have simply pulled over a safe distance away, sat at the road side in his van and filmed from there...
again just opinions...
she was driving distracted, and if I were to go off on a rant of all the morons I have seen in just the last 7 days driving with their cell to their head, driving like they are the only person on the planet earth, like every one is suppose to get out of their way.... There ain't enough room for that here.....
