In the context of this situation, what tires he was on is basically irrelevant (unless you want to give him an online lecture). The cop didn’t know whether he had winters or summers on when he decided to phone his wife at 530am and then get butthurt because she was rude to a perceived scammer (or maybe just a dick cop—not that all cops are dicks, to be clear, but this one seems to lack understanding of normal human behaviour).
So leaving out the tire choice that the cop had no idea of, he then has to venture into the “unsafe for the conditions” arena, which is of course vague, nebulous, and entirely discretionary.
And at no point should the wife’s demeanour on the phone have any bearing on anything, and should never have been brought up. She did nothing wrong, beyond possibly being rude to someone that she didn’t trust calling her at 530 am.
And I would hope most cops would see the problem with the way this played out, assuming it is basically accurate.
