did you even read the article? dude got the traffic charges. they just dropped the charges of unlawfully recording a peace officer.The cop never aimed his gun at anyone.......On the YouTube video the rider was flying through traffic at 120+, passed the marked cop who was sitting in the median, then the rider jumped on the first off ramp he came to. Cops probably thought he was going to run. The funny thing is that the cops initially let the guy go despite all the crap he pulled--the rider was on RR.net saying how cool the cops were after things calmed down.......then he went and posted his asshattery online and that's all she wrote.........
Yeah, I did--it didn't tell the whole story.......Initially they let him completely walk. The cops asked him twice if he was if the camera was on. He lied and said "no" both times.......It was only after the video was posted on the internet that the cops/DA went after the guy. He was an idiot--should have kept it all under wraps after being let go for 120 in a 65..........did you even read the article? dude got the traffic charges. they just dropped the charges of unlawfully recording a peace officer.
still the cop acted slightly excessive. although it was never pointed directly at the guy, he still pulled it out before identifying himself. the rider showed no sign of running, he stopped at a stop sign behind other vehicles.
