Why were there three people exiting a police car, the policeman, a camera man, and a person with a boom mic?

Okay, so I live in a small town.. but today I traveled to a slightly bigger town 25 minutes away from me. On my way out of the bigger town I see a police car pull over a motorcycle.. the motorcycle pulls over onto the shoulder (this is a wide shoulder btw) and many cars were passing, this is somewhat of an exit so it is kind of busy.. and the police officer exits the vehicle with a man with a PROFESSIONAL camera like movie type camera.. and a person holding a long mic.. im so confused. no other vehicles around just the police car and the motorcycle.. my husband believes it was for a show, but I feel like there would be more substance to the situation.. idk maybe it was i just thought I'd see what other people think!
