A driver has posted a video online claiming Victoria Police cancelled a traffic ticket he was served after a computer error.

The unidentified driver starts filming as a traffic cop comes over to his car asking for the ticket he was just served with.

The officer proceeds to rip the ticket up and says 'I will cancel that mate'.

The officer said that he was just doing his job and the man filming tells the officers 'obviously there was a problem with your computer'.

The clip was shared on the Melbourne Boozebus and Speed Camera Locations Facebook page and has attracted many comments from viewers.

The man filming on a mobile phone says he was pulled over because his car was flagged on the police database as not having been proper registration.

He wrote online that despite showing the officers the correct receipts via the online system the officers still gave him a ticket.

The man claims he asked the officers to radio in and not just depend on their computer for the correct information.

The driver then got in touch with an officer of higher rank who sorted out the situation, one of the officers is then seen screwing the personalised number plates back onto the vehicle.

The exact location and date of the incident is unknown, except that it is on a busy highway.

Victoria Police declined to comment on the video.

This is not the first time bizarre police encounters have been caught on camera.
