A motorist who shouted "f*** the feds" at a police van in east London was promptly pulled over and had his car seized.

Police shamed the individual on social media after they pulled him over in Walthamstow following his verbal outburst.

Waltham Forest Police shared a picture of the stopped car and a police van, then wrote: "Shouting F*** the feds out your window as you drive past at our Neighbourhood Tasking Team and @MPSSpecials, is going to get you stopped.

"Shame you didn't have insurance.

"Off to the car pound."

One person wrote: "It never ceases to amaze me that the people who really shouldn’t draw attention to themselves always do."

Another urged the police: "Crush it and make him watch."
