Hmm, apologies. I somehow forgot to scroll down and did not realize that there was (a lot) more below the scroll. The dad seems calm and collected. The officer seems to be pissed at the fact that his authority is being questioned (superseded even?) by the dad. The entire six-ish minute exchange seems surreal and bizarre, to be honest. Help me understand here, why would there be a rule prohibiting parents from walking their kids to/from school? No pavements? Very busy roads? Precedent of some sort?

Damned if I know. It sounds to me like the non-crime (but definitely "criminal" act) of Pissing Off The Police. It doesn't matter if you're not actually doing anything wrong. If you piss a cop off he can arrest you and figure out SOMETHING to charge you with and at that point you have to fight the charges. It's unfortunate but it happens. This seems like a case of that to me. Is there a rational explanation for why the rules would be the way they are? I have no idea really. It doesn't make any sense to me either.

  He just throws out the word "disorderly" out of nowhere like it's a magic word that lets him arrest whomever he wants.
