That’s how it seemed to me. I think he is typical of his generation, heck I teach kids, and I can tell you, the current crop thinks that anyone in *authority* has to explain why they want them to do anything before they do it. That’s what I see in this guy.
If he had been in trouble with the law before he would have known that he was only making the situation worse. I would have complied, but then again, I’m of a generation whose default position is respect for authority.
I also suspect that once he realized he was going to get arrested, he was concerned about leaving his wife and child. Any man worth is salt would be.

That's the American Way.
That is encouraging. We have had far too many compliant serfs acquiescing to the socialist/statist remaking of America.
The cop was out of control from the start. Arrogant, authoritarian body language tells the story, and the fact that the poor kid wasn't going to just meekly roll over and be had, challenged this little hitler's empire. The stop was obviously a typical Utah ripoff, and this cop was a duplicate of the one that interfered in the Rodney King arrest that started this video craze. Speed limits on major highways are nothing but an unjust tax. Engineering studies have proven beyond a shadow of doubt that speed limits make highways more dangerous. The only limit that is needed is the "basic speed limit," i.e. you can't drive faster than safety permits. But that won't give the socialists any tax revenue.
