Possible, but I have watched about ~20 of these videos in the last few weeks where people are doing these types of things to get the police into a legal rights confrontation where the person filming is very knowledgeable of the laws and rights of people and police powers.
And the problem is? A smart person always questions "authority" rather than blindly doing whatever they're told to do.
I know he was in public
I know he knows the law
BUT, standing there filming the cars in the police parking lot was NOT going to go unnoticed, and THAT is exactly what the person wanted! He did it ON PURPOSE to get them out there to show how they violate peoples rights, and he was smarter than them....in other words = he provoked them!
