What happens when a cop gets pulled over by another cop? Apparently — pure chaos.
In jaw-dropping bodycam footage that’s now going viral, a traffic stop turns into an explosive argument between two officers, each convinced the other is in the wrong.
It starts with tension right out of the gate:
“You knew I was the officer? You knew I was the officer?”
“This is an ego trip for you!”
The driver — a fellow law enforcement officer — is furious, claiming the stop is unnecessary and accusing the patrol officer of being “unprofessional.”
The officer calmly explains:
“You were speeding, and you’ve got a plate cover.”
But the situation quickly spirals when the driver says he’s armed and starts arguing about protocol:
“My gun’s right here, so you don’t go crazy.”
The exchange turns into a full-blown standoff — badges, tempers, and egos colliding in the middle of the street.
Moments later, backup arrives, and the off-duty officer drives off… only to be placed under arrest for leaving the scene of a stop.
The internet is losing its mind over it. Some say it’s “cop-on-cop drama at its finest”, others call it “the most awkward power struggle ever caught on bodycam.”
One thing’s certain: when both sides flash a badge, nobody backs down easily.
