wow
I don't really understand the negativity here.

A person is deliberately stopped, without reasonable suspicion, as they go about their lawful business. He declines, politely enough, to participate in what is effectively a survey. They continue to detain him as they escalate up the ranks. Keep in mind that he can't just drive away, in case he gets landed with Failure To Stop or something.

Please also consider that he's at work here; so by their actions he and all the others could be missing appointments, losing income, getting home late. They are potentially applying pressure upon them to commit motoring offences: drive too fast (as they have to make up for lost time); or drive tired (as their entire schedule is set back, his working day extended). Arguably, their actions amount to entrapment.
