From the clip it seems the police officer is speaking politely, while the woman shouts practically from the outset, barely looks up from her mobile phone, uses very impolite language and as Sved says the reference to her father seems to be a thinly-veiled form of intimidation. The translation given by the Nation seems very mild and biased towards her, as I would say using 'meung' towards a police officer in this context is basically swearing/cursing at him, definitely more than just "might have acted inappropriately".

It looks to me she brought all the problems on herself, as being so needlessly rude and condescending to a police officer just doing his job is obviously begging for trouble. I wonder what would happen to someone behaving in a similar way to a police officer in the UK or US ?
