The fact that it was a camera that was smacked out of the hand is completely besides of the point of what at happen at this scene. The officer let the motorist continue filming after realizing it was his camera. Approaching a car at 2am for a traffic stop is not an easy situation for the officer. The officer always has to assume that the worse can happen and the officer followed his training. It does not matter if it was camera that got smacked. If he reached in his center console and grabbed literally anything and moved his arms in a rapid motion it would of got smacked out immediately. There are plenty of videos that can be found where an officer walks up to the window and is shot before he even says a word, or when the officer is distracted looking at the license. Had Justin pulled a firearm out and the officer did not react the way he did, we would all be reading about a shootout on the trail. An officer does not smack stuff out of peoples hands for fun. He thought his life was at risk and fight or flight kicked in.
