I am a little surprised that the police didn’t handcuff him and confiscate his phone. Good for him for continuing to record after they told him to stop.
I am surprised they didn’t start forfeiture proceedings on his car.
Bad car.
Business must be really bad

Must be all bad
Many people who do this will also live stream the video to their YouTube channel, and the police know that. Usually an officer who doesn’t want to be recorded will try to cover themselves by saying “I would like you to turn that off”, which technically is not a demand.
And while this officer did go too far not only by making the demand but also by falsely claiming it was illegal, I think he knew there would be real trouble if we went much further than that (handcuffs/arrest like you mentioned) and got caught.
