Being a police officer can be the highest of our callings but it also attracts the dimwitted sadistic thug, too and this guy is well within that category.
My favorite part is where he brags about making this kid "ride the Taser" and says "It hurts, doesn't it?"
The offense was maybe going faster than the suddenly modified speed limit, i.e., speed trap - and nicely asking for answers when the cop stops him and his family. It's not like our cop is out solving armed robberies or murders or working the tough inner city beat. He's just a twit with a nicely fitted uniform, a fast car and way too much of himself - and the ability to torture anybody he feels like.
He could have nicely asked for answers while holding the citation book and the pen and reading the section above the signature line that says 'your signature is NOT an admission of guilt'. At the point he said, "I'm not going to sign this", the nice coversation was concluded.
That mouthy little punk became a 'perp' when the trooper placed him under arrest. It's nuance......you might not get it.

Answer the question that tioga refuses to answer: What do you think the trooper should have done when the perp turned his back on him, after the trooper told him that he was under arrest, ignored his command to halt, and began walking back to his car?

It's the responsibility of every driver to be aware of and obey all road signage and to be aware of changing road conditions. This is not a third world country. We live in a rule based society here in the USA.

That's a very interesting observation. My 'twit' deputy sheriff friend (female) pulled over a nice young man and his pregnant wife one night because of a driving violation. This nice young citizen became erratic and verbally abusive (just like our little perp friend in the video) and when my 'twit' friend tried to cuff him, he began fighting. In a matter of a second or two the nice citizen escaped my 'twit' friends grasp and ran. She pulled her weapon, a Glock 40, and requested the citizen to halt but he made it to cover and kept running. She didn't fire. A canine unit was in the area and responded to her radio call. The dog found the citizen and the citizen tried to fight the dog. Not a very smart idea on the citizens part. The dog won and the citizen was arrested (he was actually screaming for help). The car was searched and my 'twit' friend found weapons and meth. Citizen's nice pregnant wife was arrested, also.
How do I know this? I was riding with her that night. I rode with her the next night also when we went to the county lockup and served both he and his pregnant wife with multiple counts. BTW, that dog really tore his ass up. He could barely walk. And both me and my 'twit' friend laughed about it when we got back outside.
Oh, almost forgot! My 'twit' friend didn't solve an armed robbery or murder that night. And we live in a small county in the hills; not exactly a 'tough' inner city beat. But she did get a meth head and supplier off the streets.
