I was detained once because I wouldn't tell them where I worked. After I told them coming from work. At the time it wasn't allowed. It changed later that year.
They ask for documents that at least in Florida we are required for to have in your car at all times. Insurance, registration, your license. That's it, you don't have to answer any questions and can roll your window up but crack it some in case the cop gives you a lawful order.
It's been all the way to the supreme court and upheld. I bet one of his lawyers told Hill to roll up his window after giving the cops the documents and not say a word, sign the ticket and give him or her a call for the heads up.
I'm in Florida like Hill. A name like him has to be careful shit don't escalate out control.
There was no guns or drugs in the car. The fact that his teammate went to deescalate and ended up in cuffs too shows the cops were out of control with power.

Yeah, and granted we can't see what happened before and after that request to exit the vehicle. Maybe the body cam footage will say otherwise. But it seems you need a very good reason to demand he get out of the vehicle and an even bigger reason to cuff him. If he was only uncooperative after he was pulled out of the car, which he probably didn't need to be, oh boy.
So it's in the PDs court now to produce proof that he was so uncooperative inside his car that it warranted pulling him out of the car. Its unlike tyreek to be so careful with his words. I have a feeling he's being coached by lawyers who are not going to take this lightly.
