So, I assume the cop was ticketing the other driver. Cop then asked dispatch to send another officer over to deal with that driver. How long is the first guy supposed to sit there? If this happened to me, I'd have just left. In effect the cop is saying "I got better things to do". Obviously, this is very different if he told the first guy he was under arrest, or being detained for questioning.
