After the driver received a parking ticket, he and the ticketing officer stopped at a gas station where an exchange occurred, and the driver began videotaping. The driver followed the officer after leaving the gas station, though it is disputed whether this was intentional or incidental. The driver was stopped again, ordered to exit his car and tased in the process. All events were captured on the driver's cell phone or the officer's body cam, showing no resistance made by the driver. The video evidence supports the conclusion the driver was complying with the officer's commands, which is sufficient to overcome qualified immunity.
