He writes the license plate down, calls 911, and notifies police. It's not rocket science.
I would say that your experience probably can't be extrapolated to everyone's experience. I can equally describe several situations I or people I know have experienced that qualify as highly aggressive, unwarranted policing for minor traffic stops. I know people who have been arrested for a broken taillight, sitting in a running car in a parking lot, driving aimlessly through a neighborhood while lost, and other scenarios.
Heck, I'm a standard white guy and I got screamed at by a police officer 20 years ago at a random speeding stop because I didn't know that there was a faster way to get back to the highway I was trying to get to in an area I was unfamiliar with (this was pre-GPS). Top of his lungs threatening me, hand on his nightstick - it was terrifying.
