Bird says police are not yet certain if the initial target of the slurs by a passenger in the truck was an Abbotsford bylaw officer or an employee of a private parking firm.

She says the person who was recording the incident is also taunted with a series of expletives that are shocking and upsetting.

Baird says everyone involved has now been identified and further progress on the case is expected.
