Yes, he did.

On a traffic stop, an officer can instruct a person to stay back. At that point it is an investigation.

The area the officer is doing the investigation is the scene.

The officer has control of the scene and can order someone out of that scene. Failure to comply is interference or obstruction.

Being an attorney does not allow you to disregard an officer's instructions.

Interfering with a Law enforcement investigation

quote:

A. Interfering with a law enforcement investigation is the intentional interference or obstruction of a law enforcement officer conducting investigative work at the scene of a crime or the scene of an accident by refusing to move or leave the immediate scene of the crime or the accident when ordered to do so by the law enforcement officer when the offender has reasonable grounds to believe the officer is acting in the performance of his official duties.
