A bizarre encounter between a man and a police officer has gone viral after the man was spotted recording the officer while he was refilling his car at a local gas station.
The police officer noticed the recording and, clearly confused, asked, “Can I help you?” The man, unfazed, responded, “No, I just want your name and badge number.” The officer, clearly irritated, shot back, “I don’t owe you anything. Why are you recording me?”
But the situation took a hilarious turn when the officer, perhaps trying to turn the tables, pulled out his own phone and started recording the man right back. The two stood there, filming each other in an odd standoff, with no words exchanged other than the officer calling the man “a lousy person” before slamming the car door shut and driving off.
The bizarre moment quickly spread across social media, with viewers left in stitches at the strange exchange. Many praised the man for his boldness, while others were amused by the officer’s unexpected response.
