Very misleading headline. Also, he was hitting the window of the police car. Clearly trying to distract the dog and keep it away from his car.

I don’t like this random traffic-stop business, but the arrest was justified.

It doesn’t look like a random traffic stop to me. In an oridnary speeding, etc. case the officer just pulls the driver over and leaves the driver in his car whikle preparing the citation. It’s also very rare for a second unit to be called in for an ordinary stop. Looks like this guy was doing a bit more than just violating traffic laws.

Random stop is unconstitutional, but the article doesn't say it was random, just a traffic stop.
I take that to mean they had probable cause - speeding, bad tail light, etc.

I agree, although I posted the headline directly from the article.
