The cyclist said the teen should check his dash cam. IMO, If he did indeed have a dash cam, the cop should've checked that footage and possibly cited the teen too.

What are your thoughts on this?
Top comment for this Youtube video:
Pinned by @PoliceBodycamArrestsHQ
The cyclist (Gary Peacock) was charged with disorderly conduct a misdemeanor crime. The driver (Pierce Kempton) was given a traffic infraction ticket for driving within 3 feet of the cyclist. This was later dropped in court due to the dash-cam video providing evidence that the driver was in fact NOT driving within 3 feet of the cyclist. Full 27 min video is on our youtube page now!
More on the dismissal of the ticket for the 22YO car driver
Dashcam footage shows the driver steered left, and a judge dismissed his ticket Friday
