Also, I don't care if the policeman stepped in front of the car. The driver knew he was brushing up against the policeman. he knew it. You can't tell me he didn't. The driver made his choice, and that was to intimidate the cop with his car. That is assaulting a police officer, and if it were you or me, that would be assault on you or me. The driver can't bully pedestrians with his car if he feels like it. That's not OK.

If you think that the driver was treated roughly, the only thing I see wrong is the unprofessional manner of the policeman in cursing so loudly and then slamming his fist on the window. That reflects poorly on his department.

The ticket has nothing to do with the driver's actions starting with the order to stop the vehicle. I think people will see bully-boy cops picking on somebody. I see a man who threatened the wrong pedestrian with an automobile, which is actually a deadly weapon.
