Video or not...this clown on the bike needs to loose his bike and his license. I have seen these jerks doing wheelies on the beltway around Baltimore. They take chances between cars and trucks. They cut people off. The pass in between cars. It is a damn problem. Do not think for a minute he is only going to hurt himself. He has the potenial to cause a major accident and injury/death to others. As far as the video...glad he took it...it will look great in court.
As far as the trooper...I interviewed with the troopers way back when. A MD state trooper is always on duty. Always. He had every right to do what he did and he can do it in any part of MD. He is after all...a Maryland State Trooper....not Baltimore county trooper or Baltimore city trooper. I can not account for his pulling the gun. I do not know what the cause, whether pumped up over the pursuit or protocal for this type of stop, but it is what it is.
Also, there was a state trooper in a marked car on the scene at about a split second after he stopped and the trooper in his gray car made his stop. Looks cut and dry to me.....
