Ive seen a scene change hands 3 or 4 times.... Its just our S.O.P.... I dont know who's right or who's wrong, im sure there is more to the story... Some of us FF's are mouthy....

When I have a disagreement with a colleague about who is in charge of a situation, my response is to calmly and politely elevate the discussion to the next level in the chain of command, either my boss or theirs. One would think that if there is a disagreement between an LEO and a FF that can't be resolved between them, the next step would be a quick consult with the superiors. Certainly this would have resolved the situation much more quickly and served the public much more effectively than arresting the FF. An LEO who abuses his authority with FFs is likely to abuse his authority with other citizens also. Unfaithful in little -> unfaithful in much.
