How Is That Right !!

 

I would however, let the officer know that you are proceding to audio/video tape your conversation with them, nicely of course, and that the law allows you to do that, at any time you are acosted by the police in something like this.   Law enforcement tends to be somewhat "apprehensive" when they know they are being recorded, as they want to make sure to follow all guidelines in pertaining to pulling a citizen over for a traffic violation.  It does seem, like I said, a lttle extreme, but the average drive probably doesn't get pulled over and stopped by the police very often, so it's worth an extra measure just to protect yourself.   I think people have become so "fearful" of police, that they forget their rights as citizens.  If you can remember to look for the officer's last name on their name badge, you can always file a complaint with Chief Schwarber.   And maybe hope it doesn't fall on deaf ears.
