Meanwhile, @qyoso commented on the length of time the man spent writing the "fine," speculating that he might have been listing multiple violations the officers had committed.
Another user, @eifa_zarif, jokingly suggested that the man might be "fining" the officers for talking at the traffic stop, as the video shows them talking to one another while waiting at the traffic stop.
