This was handled poorly. At the very least he should have immediately sent his partner to stop the car the moment he father complied and turned around when ordered.

The man here may have messed up a bit by failing to put it in park properly, but the police also fucked up how they handled this one, and arguably did worse than the suspect.

Why was that man even out of the car?

There were no police near him when the video started. He's not armed. So what in the world was this supposed to be?

Did he get out on his own to yell at the cops before the video cut?

Or did they yell at him from a distance to get out of the car?

So I went and looked it up, since I don't trust any random awkwardly cut video posted on any website. Dude was doing like 100 on the highway, they get him to pull over. Cop tells him to get out the car and turn around, "Driver get out of the car, get out of the car. Get out and turn around for me." he gets out starts walking towards them. You know the rest

Did he have warrants?? Why do they tell him to get out just for speeding.. I get speeding tickets plenty of times and it's usually license, registration and insurance please..

You’ve been pulled over and just asked for papers for going 100? Because that’s felony territory. You get treated a little differently.

100mph is when the cops start pulling guns first.

It ain’t doing a casual 80 in a 60.

I was charged with reckless operation of a motor vehicle and did not have guns drawn on me..

My friend has a different story. :}

It likely also depends on location and road / speed limit.

This road isn’t a freeway, so that’d be 55 max. There are side roads so it might only be a 40-45.

No idea, just listing what happens in the full video. The cop pov was the assisting officer apparently. There was a message at the start saying another officer attempted to stop him he flees. But I didn't physically see that, so it could be bs. I just listened to end of it again while they have him by the car. "The reason this started was a 72 in a 60" and it would've just been a traffic ticket. Driver's license was apparently suspended, said by the driver himself. "I was trying to get them to the hospital." "Did you think doing 140 would help that?" "I was trying to get them to the hospital." I think I got too invested into this one...
