If you don't do what a LEO orders you to do, you risk getting your ass kicked.
BUT. always the big but, if the LEO makes a request, you are under no obligation to comply.
Since I was not there to witness this incident, I can neither confirm nor deny who was in the wrong. Though threatening to taser a driver for not putting out a cigarette seems a tad heavy handed. She's lucky she wasn't shot on the spot. Maybe the LEO thought it more prudent to wait until he had her in jail without the camera documenting everything. There are any number of ways around oversight devices.
This country has more than its fair share of criminals and psychopaths and unfortunately some of them made it into the ranks of law enforcement where they do their dirty deeds and get away with it more often than they should.
