Quote:As a former law enforcement officer myself, I can say this. When he challenges the officer and refuses to follow instructions, then it not only raises suspicion, but will cause the officers to give him a hard time. I would say that his "abnormal behavior" (refusing to roll his window down all the way, questioning the officer's directions to pull off to the side, etc.) gives the officer probable cause to think that he might be hiding something. When his question about "am I being detained" when the officer asked him to pull to the side is also an "alarm bell" to officers. That's simply not what "normal" people do.


If you ask me, I don't think that his Constitutional rights were violated at all.


The bottom line is, this looks like a "setup" to post a youtube video.
