I see differing aspects to this, yes the cop went to far...but so did the person going in. The cop should have given them a complaint form, but the person should not be afraid to tell this Sargent the complaint. If as in this story there was no real complaint, there is nothing for the guy to tell the Sargent. With this person being evasive, it would have thrown up all sorts of red flags. Remember that cops are paid to get to the bottom of things, and are suppossed to check into suspicious activity. When the guy just got even more evasive, and left, I think it was his duty to make sure nothing else was wrong with him. Where he stepped over the line again was in provoking the man at the end of the tape.

Don't act suspicious and the cops don't get involved. How many episodes of "Cops" show them just driving down the street and someone takes off running? When they chase that guy down, they find wants and warrants, or drugs, etc. Now if these guys didn't take off running, they most likely would never have been chased.
