I'm going to ask officers here this:

If you were issuing a ticket, and the Hotel told you that car was parked in their valet spot LEGALLY, would you continue to write the ticket?

I think the driver thought it was all settled and done, because he had not committed a crime.

Why would the officer do what he did trying to block the car??? Sometimes, an officer needs to pay full attention to the situation and this was a case where he was being obstinate in trying to issue the ticket.

I defend many cop situations, but...this officer needs some time off to reflect on his escalation of something he did not need to escalate.

That being said, the Ferrari driver shouldn't have driven off...but that doesn't excuse this particular officer from being wrong.
