What an ignorant post - as are many on this thread.
It was a couple of cops with ‘control issues’, an all to psychological deficiency with today’s police. Just when did their training transition from ‘to serve and protect’ to ‘you better do exactly as I say to the letter’?
Cops have almost 99% discretion on how they handle their encounters. Why not just tell the man their going to write him a ticket and be done with it?
So, basically.....just ignore what the police ask you to do, right? Good luck with that. Post #10 says it all.
