The video was originally in the lineup of the 'In the Line of Duty' monthly training video series. Later it hit the internet.
It was in Maine. The Trooper had one of the first in car cams in the agency because he had received numerous complaints.
Initially it was seen by many as an officer exercising admirable restraint - apparently they were unable to see that the officer was baiting him - later it turned out that the officer had made the initial approach with the body cam off and agitated the guy. We he returned to the vehicle with the body cam running he expected the guy to be out of control and, therefore, he would have a chance to play professional demeanor. That was his idea of professional behavior.
This video was useful to show how 'tone' is a reflection of a person's attitude and that the actual words used are secondary to the tone of voice used to deliver those words in conveying the attitude of the speaker. This is turn, often determines how the others involved respond to the speaker.
There were also numerous officer safety violations during this Troopers 'model' traffic stop.
The story goes that shorter thereafter this officer was let got after several substantiated complaints by female motorists. IDK if that is actually true.
Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
I'm kind of curious why the officer didn't point out to the DA that regardless of whether she thought the officer was stopping her or another motorist, the law requires her to yield to an emergency vehicle by (in most jurisdictions) pulling over and stopping as far to the right as is practical.
Another observation is that the 'why are you mad, I'm just doing my job' verbiage is generally ineffective.
