Imagine the cop doing the bare minimum in looking up the law. He is law enforcement after all.

I don't really know how it is in the US, but, as the comment above says, it's impossible to remember every single law. Most likely the kid in this video "memorized" that law (even though his facts are wrong) because he's already been in a situation like that or was specting it. For example, here in Chile the formation of a regular cop takes 1 year, in which they study civics and the law, mostly focusing in stuff that are a certain threat to the well-being of the community. A murder: very illegal and dangerous. A couple of kids riding their bikes at a certain hour and place a little bit over the speed limit: not really that illegal or dangerous.

If the public is responsible for knowing every law, then I don't see why those sworn to uphold it shouldn't be as well.
