So you are just COMPLETELY confused. What you linked was an illegal search. Opening a door is not an illegal search, especially if the occupant of the car is not complying with an officer's request. (ESPECIALLY if your door is unlocked).
And what does being arrested have to do with anything? An officer can order your onto the ground outside your vehicle and you have to comply...
An officer can open your car door, drag you out of the car, handcuff you and then decide not to arrest you. It is perfectly legal, though unethical at times. An Officer could get punishment after the fact, but legally you can't disobey a reasonable request of an officer.
I think a lot of people in this thread who keep calling on the 4th amendment don't realize this has ALREADY gone to the courts who uphold the constitution, and they don't agree with you/us.

Again you are wrong. If you don't comply with an officers request he can pull you from the car. The driver was not complying with the request. An officer doesn't have to fear for his safety to make someone exit a vehicle. The driver in the OP was ordered out of the car and he didn't comply.

It seems a lot of people went into this video anti cop, hence why you selectively heard what you wanted to.

Exactly, all he did was prove that he has no idea what the laws are in his state. The office seemed quite sure and if you do even 5 minutes of research on IL state laws you can find out that the officer was correct and the guy in the car was just a moron who probably watched some stupid "how to act at stops" on infowars...
Those how to act at stops videos are from youtube.
What has infowars got to do with it?
Some people will try and use any excuse to spread crap about Alex Jones. Makes me think that what hes says carries some weight.
I dont care how many "wrong uns" he deals with on a daily basis. Maybe if the police did a better job and people werent so poor then there wouldnt be so much crime in the first place for that jumped up prick to deal with.
I wonder with your same logic that it would be okay for a black person who has been constantly pulled over their whole life by the police would be justified in getting mad at the racist cops who keep harrassing him?

They have one of the toughest jobs in the world, on top of that, the average life span of a cop is around 60 yrs of age since the stress they endure is uncomprehendable to you..

Says the guy/girl who lives in an entirely different country. Your opinion on an American issue is irrelevent. What do you know of our problems besides what can/is loosely spewed on media and ATS? We have the right to bear arms which puts cops in a situation I wouldn't want to be in.
You think you could do a better job then why don't you put on the badge and become the new Sheriff? I'm so sick of all this bad mouthing law enforcement and crying about how they are sour and should listen to your feelings.. stop doing dumb sh*t and you'll be just fine.
They have one of the toughest jobs in the world, on top of that, the average life span of a cop is around 60 yrs of age since the stress they endure is uncomprehendable to you. I'm a fire fighter, and yea, I'm not very fond of cops.. but if you even saw half of the things I see you wouldn't say a word. Use your brain.
It is obvious you are biased against law enforcement completey and that blinds your judgement on what is law AND common sense. So if you're not going to do something about it and become that model law enforcement official and set the example instead of crying about somebody getting their feelings hurt then give your cop hating posts a break.
