no, to the officer. he is the professional and is supposed to handle the situyation. remember? its not a “contest” between equals.
the guy never said he wouldnt sign, watch the video. he said he wouldnt sign until the officer explained it and he wanted to tell his side. that would have beeb easier for all concerned in retrospect, dontcha think?
It would have gone better for the guy if he’d just decided to get all belligerent. He did refuse to sign... and that means he gets to go for a ride in a police car.
The driver created the situation, and escalated it, and the cop *did* respond and control the situation. This guy could’ve just gone merrily about his business, but instead he decided to get into the cops face. Big mistake. Didn’t need to happen. He got what he deserved.
I would reserve judgement on that until I see the original un-edited video. This one has no timestamp overlay (or it's been removed) so there's no way to tell if parts have been removed. I doubt this was submitted to youtube by the cop, so the authenticity is questionable (in my mind at least).
I think he probably thought it was a speed trap, and in a way it might have been. Most like to be behind cops instead of in front. The cop stopped at the 40 and the guy kept going. One of my rare tickets was speed changing. Did I speed up at the sign or a few feet before? How do you prove it? The guy should have taken it up in court. What happened after he was tazered is more alarming to me.
