For the amount of extreme “attitude” the driver showed I am surprised this didn’t escalate, camera or not. I am no bootlicker... I have been the driver in this EXACT scenario (well, minus the CDL logbook), but filming the cop and making the point was important...
Nobody has mentioned this, but the trooper showed character in admitting his fault, completely. That struck me as being civil... I didn’t see that from the driver though.
Golden Rule applies, always.

Sorry, no pass for the cop. I’ve see it in videos again and again. A cop gives ‘tude and lies, and all that. But as soon as he knows he is being recorded, he cleans up FAST.
He only admitted his fault, when he knew he couldn’t hide his fault.
It is a crying shame that it takes a camera to make Bufford T Justice cops start behaving like Andy Taylor. And that is why cops hate cameras. Because it is affecting their ability to behave as poorly as they like, and it is only your word against theirs.
