he officer claims he stopped the car for a traffic violation and requests Houghtailings license and registration, before once again complaining about being filmed and threatening Houghtaling.
How about if I see you post this on Youtube, Ill find a way for the D.A.s office to arrest you, asks the trooper.
Is it illegal to record police officers? Houghtaling replies.
When I tell you to put the phone down and you disregard what Im telling you, yes, it is, said Rosenblatt.
So am I being detained for recording?
Put the phone down.
Is it illegal to record officers, Houghtaling asks.
Give me your license and registration, the trooper replies.
When asked why he has been pulled over, the trooper explains your exhaust is extremely loud, thats why youre being stopped.
The officer then becomes belligerent, sarcastically saying, Have you got an answer for that? before again insisting Houghtaling stop filming with his phone.
The troopers then asks, What is your issue with always videotaping? to which Houghtaling replies, Am I legally obligated to answer that?

Youre obligated because I asked, you, thats why an angry Rosenblatt replies before stalking off.
