Calm but firm, the man repeatedly explained that he was not breaking the law, was not operating the vehicle, and repeatedly asked the officers to explain the legal basis for their commands. Despite having no specific evidence to justify escalating the encounter, the officers continued pressuring him to exit the vehicle.
