Quote History Quoted:
Why does the officer interact with the passenger as though he was the driver? Why was the passenger the one who signed the ticket?
Cop wasn't in control of that situation.
eta: Nevermind, watched it again and saw it was the passenger getting the ticket.

That has nothing to do with control. What would you like the cop to do? If he talks shit back, the hope files a complaint and cop gets in trouble. Arrest him? Contempt of cop isn't a codified statute.
By not responding, you lose nothing. This guy is clearly a piece of shit, let him broadcast to the world what a shitbag he is and pop him next time he does something wrong. A cops power all comes from knowing what one can legally do at any given moment. I'm sure he'll see this "upstanding citizen" again.
