You're armed.
At what point do you put a stop to the torture of your wife?
Do you think the cop should have just written "refuses to sign" on the ticket and moved along or otherwise defused the situation as he could have or was he reasonable in aggressively asserting his authority?
Your question is ridiculous and it’s obvious that you’re just running on pure emotion. The cop could’ve used better communication skills and is probably a rookie, but all of your sadist and torture talk is pure BS.
The guy that was pulled over was acting erratically and wouldn’t stop running his mouth long enough to hear anything. Spoiled brat roadside-lawyer sure learned a tough lesson that day. When pulled over, your attitude dictates how things are going to go.
