More details to this question:
So I got pulled over and I asked why. He said he would tell me when I gave him my information. I said tell me what I did and I will give you my information. He refused to tell me what I did then reached in my car trying to get my information so I said do not touch me and tried to close my window but he forced my window down. He then opened my door and tried getting me out of the car. That is when backup arrived and they arrested me for failure to comply. I had a video of all this and they deleted it.

The police don't have to tell you why they stopped you. That is what the ticket and/or arraignment in court is for. ?You made an error in judgment by failing to comply with the Police Officer. I suggest that you hire a good criminal defense lawyer.
