The whole "hanging out the window on the motorway with my gun trained on you" thing

The turning point, in my opinion, for out of hand social media videos was Kinga Karolczak on Big Brother 6 - showing to the world just how 'famous' an otherwise talentless and intellectually challenged person can be by selling your soul (and dignity) and doing something utterly shocking in front of a camera.
The world has been upside down ever since.
No one wants to work hard for nice things.

Not sure where that came from.
I've not seen an armed stop with an officer hanging out the window of a moving vehicle on the motorway before.
It's the kind of thing you usually see in films and I didn't know if that's normal (in so much as being stopped by armed Police is never normal).

t, I better comply before they start shooting.It is similar to the effect of a taser. Seeing the red dot on your body usually gets the suspect to comply. It emphasises the threat of being tasered.
A frequent comment from officers into our ops room would include......” red dotted the target who then became compliant. “
It certainly defused many situations.

It’s a “hard stop” generally reserved for when there is information to suggest that the occupant of the vehicle is likely to be in possession of a firearm.
Similar tactic used in this case

I think it is a good thing to monitor the police. After all, the officers and the institution have a certain power that is regulated, and should be checked to ensure they conform to them. It’s a shame more powerful institutions, those more powerful than the police, don’t follow suit.
There are any number of people who take the time and trouble to do so. In my force we had lay visitors. These people do a great job in visiting cells to see how prisoners are dealt with. They have the authority to go anywhere they want (that's lay visitors, not prisoners) and to ask whatever questions they want as long as the rights of the prisoners are respected and there are no operational objections.
I ran the CCTV room in a busy seaside city. We had lay visitors who visited the room whenever they wanted to, without warning, and without hindrance, coming in at all hours and checking what we did and ensuring we conformed to the published guidelines. There was only one instance where procedures in the room were questioned, and that was regarding a video headed, ‘Two men screwing TK’. It was two men trying to get the money from a telephone kiosk, and not what the lay visitor assumed.
I often wonder what these people, who come to the stations at all hours, are often abused by prisoners, have a chance of being recognised, who take the trouble to make notes, observe procedures and produce recommendations think of those who merely surf the net and publish an already published video somewhere else.
