"He might have gotten a bit more leeway, but the doofus brought the attitude. So many, many bad choices by the guy."

Gotcha. We stopped being being citizens a long time ago, apparently...The young guy pulled over immediately, complied with the license and registration bit but went way too far in asking what speed he was clocked at, where the sign was and what he was being arrested for..

Being a genuine law enforcement officer trumps the Constitution any old day, doesn't it?

You forget the part where the guy refuses to sign, authorizing the cop to arrest him.

Or the part where he acts irrationally.

Or the part where the guy refuses to submit to the officer’s arrest/detention.

Or the part where he starts walking back to his car, also known as the “lunge area”.

The guy had every right to a) sign the damn ticket and b) show up in court and contest said ticket.

I hate jackbooted thuggery as much as anyone else, having experienced it in my youth, but traffic stops aren’t the time for Constitutional Q&A.
