.. of someone backing up a motorcycle. If someone jumped out of a plain car with gun in hand I think I think the “fight or flight” response would kick in and backing up the motorcycle really isn’t an unreasonable step. Certainly the cop never thought to ask him if the camera was on and recording and he was never asked to turn it off. I think under the circumstances the last thing going through the riders mind was that he should turn it off. I am certainly not a lawyer, but I think the officer made a number of miss-steps and they are probably going to end up looking foolish and dropping the case in the end.
