As per usual we don't have any context for the video at the bottom of this article, so we're not going to comment on who's right or wrong here.  It's just a cool video! Let's break it down.

Our video today opens with a view from a motorcycle rider's helmet-mounted camera.  As we travel down the highway, we see a few police cruisers stopped on the side of the road. The footage then slows way down and zooms in.  We now see a police officer slowly approaching a person sitting on a parked motorcycle.
