You can call whatever you want. The cop ordered a potential witness to any criminal behavior to not view what he was doing. BTW, what I called witness tampering was after the man was in the police car when the cop went back and lied to the woman and to try to affect her perception of what had happened.
The cop had NO reason to even discuss the event with a potential witness. He did it because he knew he was facing potential problems. That is witness tampering and he should be charge like anyone else who tried to tamper with a witness.
NONE of what you said would stand two seconds of scrutiny in court and you certainly don’t know anything about witness intimidation or “felony witness tampering”.
At no point did he coerce the “witness”.
At no point did he try to cover up this incident.
Won’t even be an issue if this goes for review.
