The Police Officer repeatedly asked the driver to EXIT the vehicle, and suspected that others were in there, but eventually it turned out it was the drivers dog.
However from the Police Officer's perspective the driver was argumentative, did not comply with commands after a few minutes, while they knew someone ore something was also in the vehicle, so I believe they acted responsibly.
Unfortunately the media clips only show the last 20 seconds of the incident.
The entire recordings are available online - that’s what I was viewing. Not the short media clips.
