He also called in backup, which was pretty humiliating as there were a lot of people walking/passing by. To be honest i'm pretty sure i was profiled, but that's a whole other topic. I wouldn't be asking about a dash cam if i didn't feel like i was legitimately wronged and or was driving like a goon.

In your case it would have completely gotten you out of the ticket for sure. But it's one of those instances where you really want to play it perfectly. Make sure you leave your ignition on so the camera get's all the audio. Wait until he writes the entire ticket up, complete with road names, dates, times. And then we he hands it to you, let him know you'll most definitely be in court on your court date with a video showing you did in fact stop. Get his ass in(probably not much at all) trouble and make a big stink about it.
If he sees the dash cam and doesn't immediately rip up the ticket, he'll be confirming he's a mega ****, power abusing, waste of taxpayer money, asshole cop.
