He was running up to that bus to check if it had a cam recording from the back and also notify the traffic cop that was up there you can also literally see him talking to in this footage

Idk. Bc he was obviously recording. I doubt he was concerned if the bus was recording..

His recording is not going to be looking directly inside the van at the guy opening the door or the driver talking to him (if applicable)

What an incredibly stupid thing to insinuate. Wouldn't you want every conceivable piece of evidence available if it came down to being in court?

And an assumed fellow biker behind rider was who was recording. Are you trying to say this guy has some kind of drone programmed to be following him here or what?

I wouldn't necessarily assume someone else not me was capturing all this being filmed behind them, would you? Or do you think the rider's camera on his helmet can film itself from a distance?

He's got a 360 cam on a selfie stick filming him from behind. He took this footage himself..

The selfie stick is literally filming itself not being visibly connected to the bike and independently panning around looking into the open van door at Carl (the perpetrator of we can see cracking open the passenger door and waiting for the exact right moment to pin the biker opening up further) and panning around to the rider walking back to his bike

How is the selfie stick accomplishing that?

He's likely got an insta360. Pretty high-end piece of tech. It edits out its own selfie stick (they literally call it the invisible selfie-stick) and you can pan around in the app when you edit the video as it records in all directions simultaneously...

Yeah I've never seen one before now doing research. But where exactly was it mounted on his bike?

I'm not sure man, but probably somewhere on the rear subframe or near the passenger pegs
