BBM: I keep reading she might not have known he had the right to have her exit the car. For somebody so into "rights", I find that odd. Also, ignorance of a law is not a defense for breaking it.
BBM: An alternative for why he removed her glasses: He felt because of her combativeness, she was a risk for physical confrontation and removing the glasses was for her own safety. Just like cuffing someone is for the safety of LE AND the detained. If the detained person is cuffed, that eliminates the possibility of the officer feeling threatened and is safer for the detained person because of that. It is a stretch, IMO, to say he was TRYING to get kicked by her.
It was already mentioned that SB would not look directly at LEO and balked at putting out her cigarette. IMO officer would require her glasses be removed to check her pupils. I have dark eyes and can get by with a lot more than my blue eyed cronies. Someone acting in the manner as SB was would definitely get my suspicions rising.
