New York driver called the officer at his traffic stop a ‘dirty pig’, then complimented his backside

The officer appeared to stay calm throughout.

A man in New York posted footage of a traffic stop where he appears to repeatedly insult a police officer before making a bizarre comment about the officer’s appearance. The driver seemingly filmed the interaction from inside his car, much like other viral police encounter videos. According to The Nerd Stash, he shared the video on TikTok to show how he deals with police.

The traffic stop appears to have begun with the officer asking the driver for his ID. When the officer asked where he was headed, the driver responded, “It’s none of your **** business. That’s where I’m headed to. What about that?” The officer stayed calm, but the driver continued his aggressive tone.

When the officer asked where he was coming from, the driver turned toward him and said, “What’s up with you? You don’t have to ask me these questions. I don’t answer to pig.” The officer asked why he could not ask these questions, and the driver told him it was none of his business.

The driver seemingly saved his strangest comment for the very end

The man finished that part of the encounter by handing over his ID and saying, “Here you go, pig.” He later posted that video with the caption, “You do not need to answer any of their questions.” However, the video showing how the stop began was reportedly posted after the footage of its ending.

The situation escalated further in the other video, which appears to show the end of the traffic stop. After the officer returned the man’s ID and registration along with a citation, the officer asked if the man had any questions. The driver mocked the officer’s professional tone, claiming it was performative.

He told the officer, “I would just like you to start using a normal voice when you speak.” He also told the officer, “You didn’t help me today. You’re just a dirty pig.” As the officer wished him a good day, the driver replied, “You have a horrible day,” and called him a “**** loser.”

Things took a strange turn at the very end of the video. The driver finished the interaction by telling the officer, “You have a nice butt though.” In the caption, he encouraged others to follow his lead, writing, “The energy we all need to be bringing to fight #ICE #MAGA.”

The driver later posted a comment explaining why he felt he could speak to the officer this way. He noted that he is a mixed-race man who appears white, which he claimed gave him privilege during the traffic stop. He also claimed he took safety precautions, including calling the police chief to act as a witness. The officer appeared to remain respectful and calm throughout both videos, addressing the driver as sir and seemingly ignoring the insults directed at him.

Viewers appeared split on the confrontation: some commenters praised the driver, while others argued the officer was only doing his job. One commenter said, “I’m a lesbian, but I fell a little bit in love with you.” Another said, “So disrespectful. He’s just doing his job and to speak to a complete stranger like that who did nothing to you is wrong.”
