I saw the whole story on some show last night.
Basically, the kid got a ticket for something or another a while back. He was bitter, so to try to get "revenge," he made it his mission to bait a cop into doing something. He rigged a camera in his car and basically went around cruising looking for trouble. Parking in vacant lots in a suspicious way in the middle of the night, going through drunk driver checkpoints and giving smart-azz answers, putting himsel in other supicious situations, etc.
He is careful to bait just enough to make himself seem semi-reasonable, but enough to try to antagonize the cop.
Apparently, hit took him a lot of time and baiting before he finally got this cop to go off on him.
Was the cop wrong? Yes. But I think it is relevant to the story that the kid went out for the *sole purpose* of antagonizing the police.
