Metro Cop vs Motorist - #Bloubosrand


South Africa just could not get enough of a feisty Metro Cop vs an arrogant driver today in a video that went viral almost over night.

I don't usually post about scenarios like this but it is a very interesting case indeed.  I happened to watch this video on Facebook last night, it was shared on a friends wall and showed up on my newsfeed. I only hit play because being new to Jozi I was excited I could identify the two street names in the description so I wanted to know, what happened down the road from me? 

I played the video automatically assuming it was just another one of those videos where you see your everyday South African altercation, and boy was I wrong. 

The video is a lengthy 8.14 minutes long, it depicts a rather irritated motorist who is recording the video - interact with a sarcastic Metro Cop who is issuing him with a ticket.

The man recording the video we find out is Clive Naidoo, as his personal information is recorded in the video you can clearly hear his name, number and address being called out.

The two pass comments back and forth to each other. First with Clive asking the Metro Cop to go faster and when she refuses he whips out a not so nice comment saying he pays her salary because he pays tax and she retaliates with a swift and sharp comeback.

But it doesn't end there and this back and forth goes on for a while with the metro cop blatantly undermining where Clive lives and mocking the fact that he is recording this ordeal by parading around and saying "I've never been on TV before I hope my father sees me."

Well miss Metro Cop I'm sure he did, this video went viral.
