A pair of Metro Vancouver transit officers are being commended for their restraint after a video surfaced showing the two unnamed officers on the receiving end of a verbal thrashing while issuing a speeding ticket in Surrey.

The video, which was uploaded to YouTube and circulated on Reddit, was recorded by someone inside a Jeep SUV during a traffic stop at 88th Avenue and King George Highway on Oct. 12.

In the video, both the driver and a passenger of the Jeep get irate when the officers deny their demand to see a radar reading.

“If I ask for the radar, you have to give the radar,” one of the occupants tells the officer.

Metro Vancouver Transit Police confirm the officers used a visual estimation, and not radar, to determine the vehicle was speeding.

The officers are then hit with a barrage of insults from the occupants. One of the occupants also implies that the speeding ticket was racially motivated.
