I have always liked Dave Herman, but he and his wife seem like nutters to me after watching this. Mainly based on their incorrect assumption about three forms of ID. Badge, uniform, name tag, police ID, in a marked cruiser-all forms of ID. The way they were so insistent seems almost like sovereign citizen tactics, and they fucking knew they were cops, they just wanted to play stupid games-and you know what you win. That's what they talked about for three miles-which could have been solved with pulling over-"car trouble? Anything I can do to help?"
The way Dave(a large man) got out of the vehicle and charged back towards them insisting on 3 forms of id after refusing to pull over for several miles would be setting off warning signals. If I am legitimately not wanting to pull over until I have a safe location, that's fine-but stay in the car and explain or call 911 and explain why you are not pulling over "I have my infant son in the vehicle and I am afraid to pull over on the side of a highway-driving to next exit or safe spot to stop."
I don't think there was any reason to use a taser, but failing to pull over when signaled by police will escalate a situation when you add non compliance at the end. I am a big proponent of using verbal skills to explain my actions and why I am doing what I am doing. In most cases, it will ease tensions and yield results-maybe not with someone intent on "exercising their rights" which in these circles tends to mean being an ass for the purpose of a youtube video.
