Looks more like a booking sheets book, more so than a actual sign to me.
I can just see the claim, saw a officer throw a book at me to assault me without warning, in shock and fearing for my life, i took off due to being assaulted out of the blue by the police officer......
Hope he has a good lawyer......but he will get done for speeding, that camera footage is enough to calculate distance over time.
