There may have been something else going on...

Thank you, that is what most of us are speculating...and one would certainly hope so.

Failing to use a turn signal and having too many stickers on the windshield doesn't usually result in an arrest, towed vehicle, impound fees etc. The edited dash cam almost certainly deleted the circumstances of the driver being "uncooperative".

Which is why it is being contemplated that the CCW had something to do with those particular officers deciding to arrest the guy.

As for restricted visibility from the driver's seat --- I don't know that was about 'stickers' but may have been about something else? I know that a cracked windshield can attract notice from traffic enforcement, regardless of how bad (or not so bad) the cracks are, provided they catch sight of the cracks. If or when they do --- I'm certain that many leo's will then focus on what else they can use as reason for pulling someone over.

From memory, the man who was arrested said something brief about his windshield --- did he mention 'stickers'? Some sticker at the top of the windshield...or something?

What I DO recall from the video is the police officer telling him the arrest was due to failure to use signal, and something about obscured visibility from the driver's seat.

I'd rather not have to go to the 'Blaze' again, if that can be avoided, even though on that one visit (to see what there was of video that others were saying was "edited") the site didn't freeze my puny computer, or hit me with a barrage of pop-ups, like that one has before.

I hate to say it, but Breitbart can be worse. Washington Times is another I avoid, although they occasionally carry content that is both well enough sourced to be fairly reliable, and on subject matter that the lamestreamers are busy trying to gin up counter-narrative explanation for (all roads lead to it's all conservative's and Republican's fault), of course.
