Angry Trooper Yells At Truck Driver: ‘YOU DON’T DECIDE WHERE TO STOP…I DO!’

A truck driver recorded this encounter with an angry police officer who pulled him over on a busy highway.

The encounter begins with the officer berating the driver because he waited to find a safe location to pull over.

“I decide the place to stop” the officer yells at the driver.

When asked why he was stopped, the officer replies that he wasn’t maintaining his lane and demands to see his license, log book, and shipping papers, all while he continues to berate the driver for his decision to find a safe place to stop.

Many commenters say the driver made the right move, as safety should always come first. However, some argued that the driver was in the wrong for continuing on after the trooper turned his lights on.

What would you do in his shoes — wait for a safe place to pull over or stop on the shoulder immediately? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
