Instead, he slams on his brakes which is itself road-rage type careless driving and you find no fault in that? Astonishing.
Calgaryblood should file a complaint against the officer for endangering lives on the road (what if he was tailgating and not paying enough attention and slammed into the rear of the police car during the brilliant and totally illegal 'brake check' maneuver?) and then defend the ticket on the basis of entrapment and abuse of process.

I don't see how he would claim entrapment when he is trying to defend cutting another vehicle off.
If he can prove that he was brake checked, then he should file a complaint for sure. But the cop going slower than the limit and CB deciding to cut him off isn't entrapment. The police dashcam might show some evidence of a brake check, but that isn't a defense to what CB got ticketed for.
