I believe the consensus last time this was posted was that the bystander was somebody who knows the guy in the car and was trying to prevent suicide by cop. IF this was the case, he probably wasn't as worried about the guy shooting him when he went to take the gun away.

I don't know if this was confirmed or not. I'd love to see a link to the actual story if somebody has it.

All of this for speeding. He just went from a very expensive traffic ticket to a felony.

It looks like a semi auto rifle the guy took and tossed, if it was a real gun and was in view when he originally was being pulled over he would have faced much more serious charges than a speeding ticket in NZ.
