It feels like both the LEOs and the driver were caught off guard which resulted in a less than stellar "stop." I think the officers would have been OK if they would have left out some of the "colorful metaphors," the negative character references, and the threat to the driver's life (toward the end of the video). I wonder if the primary LEO was scared and reacted out of his fear (that he didn't initally approach the driver and make sure that all three people were unarmed?

I say this because the LEOs encounter dangerous situaions daily and you don't know what you are getting into when you "pull up." It seems as if the LEOs were dealing with the most present threat (the woman and the other passenger)." The primary LEO was a little distracted but had his partner covered during most of the search.

But I was a little puzzeled when it came to running the plates. Toward the end of the video, the dispatcher can be heard saying that the driver has a CHL. What happened when they initially ran the plates at the beginning of the stop? Did it not show up?
