A heated roadside exchange has gone viral after a driver, pulled over by officers, grew angry that the police never turned on their emergency lights.
Footage shows the man repeatedly asking: “Why aren’t your lights on? Show me your badge number!” Clearly frustrated, he accused the officers of mishandling the stop.
The police, staying calm, responded that they were “just trying to help” and insisted they weren’t targeting him unfairly. Still, the man refused to let it go, continuing to demand answers while recording the entire encounter.
The video has sparked a massive debate online. Some viewers argue that police should always activate their lights during a stop for safety and transparency, while others say the man escalated the situation unnecessarily.
