Aussie driver fined over interaction with cop after being pulled over

A man was issued with more than $3900 in fines after allegedly filming himself ignoring a police officer who pulled him over.

Video has emerged of an Aussie driver allegedly ignoring a police officer who had pulled him over for driving in an unregistered vehicle.

Police say the Queensland man was fined thousands of dollars and ordered to appear in court after two incidents in May, with footage of one interaction being published over the weekend.

In the video, taken from inside a car stopped on the side of Mount Cotton Rd southwest of Brisbane, a police officer can be seen at the driver’s side window.

“This car’s unregistered at the moment,” the officer says.

“All right, do you have driver’s license?”

A man filming the interaction replies “nup” before cutting off the cop who is trying to explain why he was pulled over.

“Yeah that’s good I’m just going about my day,” he says as the car begins to pull away.

The officer can be heard protesting as the driver leaves, who replies: “See ya later, brother.”

Footage then shows the vehicle travel across the highway and head in the opposite direction, as the cop jumps back in his highway patrol car.

The camera is then turned back on the driver who reaches for a strawberry and takes a bite.

In a statement, Queensland Police said a man allegedly failed to comply with police directions at Sheldon and Gumdale, on both May 12 and May 13 of this year.

A spokesperson said it would be alleged police intercepted an unregistered Nissan Patrol on Mount Cotton Rd on May 12, before the driver failed to comply with an officer and drove away.
