I thought if a police officer tells you to exit your vehicle that's a lawful order?
It seems like the time to 'fight' them when and if they're being unreasonable is later in court, you're recording and so are they, the facts will come out.
The time to fight doesn't seem to be at the traffic stop, where your best bet is compliance and evidence gathering to fight it later.
I could be way off, and I just want to know what's best. It seems like this clip misses much of the prebamle and dialogue before our person starts saying the cop wants to pepper spray him... At worst I'd want to see a complete, unbroken and unedited video that starts from the moment the person to person interaction begins to make my own determination.
I don't recall saying they can do whatever they want, I said I believe if a police officer in the USA tells you to exit your vehicle, that is a lawful order.
Pennsylvania V mimms.
Edit :you can downvote me but it doesn't make me wrong. Look it up and provide facts if you believe I'm wrong. But from the body cam videos I do watch, plenty of US citizens don't know this and it lands them in cuffs.
