Karry Corbett was captured on camera by an Abbotsford lawyer last October after getting into an argument with a parking enforcement officer.

Lawyer Ravi Duhra said he began filming when he became concerned about Cobertt’s behaviour towards the officer, but that’s when Cobertt’s attention turned to Duhra.
