I'm not saying all cops are bad but there are some that run your plates see who you are and based on what shows up on your information they get cocky and want to bust your balls. I've been pulled over before and I've dealt with some police officers and always been treated with respect but I've also been invovled in situations where I'm with someone not favored or with a past record and the cop becomes very shitty for no reason. I think if you knew who this person was then you'd see his reasoning behind wanting to record his run in. The police officer lost his cool and got pissed off because he wanted to record him the information in the article didn't show any reason as to why he would need to get out of the vehicle, nor why he got pulled over to begin with. If he felt safer recording the incident then that is his right and the police officer should have maintained his composure and professionalism and continued on with the process just like a lot of police officers that are being filmed all over the place. Some react negatively and some react professional in my eyes if the cop isn't doing anything wrong then he shouldn't be worried about being recorded.
