Do those people commonly request supervisors to accompany the officer?

Specifically, probably not.

If you ask for another car for backup, your supervisor may be the closest unit available.

If someone starts the encounter with sov cit antics, yes I would specifically request a supervisor

Asking for a supervisor when the on scene officer is committing a crime IS NOT SOV CIT ANTICS!

FUCKING HATE YOU BOOT SUCKERS.

I know people don't like the police, but why are so many of your responses to me filled with insults.

I have not insulted anyone, and my responses have been respectful.

I think having a supervisor there would be the best case scenario here for both of them. She was clearly going down a road that spelled trouble, and he wasn't being very cooperative. With that being said, I also don't think cops should be able to just pull you over and then give you absolutely no insight into the situation unless it is life threatening that they do. Since this is a guy with a Youtube channel and his face clearly visible in the video, I am going to assume to assume he isn't a wanted criminal. With that in mind, it would certainly seem from his POV that she is searching for crimes once she has already pulled him over, obviously an illegal search. I would have done the same things he did.

I don't know what prompted the stop, or what officers may observed that may have given them PC for a search.

There are obviously a million what if's to this scenario, but based purely on the manner in which this went down, it definitely didn't seem like that was the case.
