Something doesn't exactly sound right with the story. Usually drivers are left in their cars and not asked to step out while things are being run. At least that has been my very limited experience and also what I observe when I see others stopped.

I've not idea what the knife laws are in Ohio or the city where this happened. The story has both a ring of overzealous action on the police side, or some unstated behavior on the driver's side of the equation that caused the officer to do what he did.
