This guy is walking around in broad daylight with a gun on his hip in a manner or place that it would not be considered normal (hence the phone call to the police from the public) and had a video camera, a list of court proceeding, and some statutes that benefit his side only ready for when he was contacted by the police.
This guy was clearly being an ass and trying to cause some type of legal or civil issue with the police department.
Once again I don't know about Oregon, but here an officer can detain and transport a person for failure to provide identification.
I agree, the cop did a great job.
