This JMPD officer is on her way to becoming a viral star

When Johannesburg motorist Clive Naidoo was pulled over by the Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD), allegedly for jumping a red robot, and started filming he would probably never have guessed that he’d turn one of the officers into a viral star.

Well aware that she’s being recorded, the officer provides a number of cheeky quips to Naidoo’s assertion that his taxes pay her salary. As well as asking for an “increase next month”, she informs him that she also pays taxes.

“I pay tax,” the officer quipped back. “Then my tax pays who? Your maid? Don’t do that. I also pay tax.”

At one point, she also points out that she’s happy Naidoo is filming her with an iPhone because the picture quality is so good.

“You think … I’m scared of the video. I like videos. And you’re taking me (sic) with an iPhone! I’m happy, because the pictures are superb,” she said.

Naidoo maintains that he is innocent of the offense for which he was pulled over and says that was the reason he started filming the incident.

One crime he’s definitely guilty of though is filming in portrait.
