But you're mad at the person for having a video camera and knowing his rights. He didn't antagonize the cop. He didn't approach the cop. The cop approached him for doing nothing illegal because some other person didn't know the law and called the cops on him because they were ignorant and scared.

So you would rather the cop abuse his power, the person not know their rights and stand up to the cop, and definitely not record the exchange. Otherwise I'm not sure how you can take this position.
Are you serious? Look, I don't want to be the 4th person to jump down your throat, but can you stop, take a breath, and think for just five seconds. Imagine if you, strap an MP-5 (doesn't matter if it's a .22 single shot or a 10mm full auto) on your person, grab a video camera, and go out into the world. Puff your chest out big guy, you're an American! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN!? Of course a cop is going to come and check and see what's up. This guy knew that's what was going to happen and he did it to be an asshat. Sit down. Please.
