But the cops are confused by someone standing up for their rights. This was a challenge to them. And they responded by overstepping their powers.
Clear, concise, and IMHO, exactly right. I’ve interacted with enough cops to know that when Johnny Law tells you to roll the window down, you roll the window down, because if you don’t, then the beatdown (in whatever form it may chose to take…and don’t you dare say the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man) will most certainly be delivered. Good on the driver for keeping a level tone and sticking up for himself…although the dog on the hood would have gotten me fairly riled up. In fact, I’m somewhat baffled the cops would have any reason to get the dog up on the hood as it seems to open them up to liability damages.
