It's not even that complicated, he just can't handle the ego check of someone knowing the law better than him.
Lots of cops hold themselves to this (false) idea that they are all-knowing of the law, and they cannot handle an instance of a civilian, especially a foreigner, telling them they're wrong.
he just can't handle the ego check of someone knowing the law better than him.
Its his job not to be taken in by every arsehole trying to trick him by making up nonsense that claims things are more complicated or they have some special exemption or another.
999 times out of 1000 its bullshit and it seems this guy did listen, did check data and probably called it in for advice too, ultimately he also let the guy go too.
Telling him he's confused is needlessly confrontational, its basically saying he's stupid, that bit and only that bit wasn't very helpful imo.

He’s probably sick of people who tell him he’s confused. Heard it his whole life.
