Cop gets in trouble for pointing his gun at driver during traffic stop

A NSW Police Senior Constable has been slammed by an ACT magistrate after pulling his service pistol on a motorist during a traffic stop.

The Senior Constable is shown by his car’s own dash cam footage, running at a vehicle pulled over on the side of the road, while loosely holding his gun one handed and pointing it at a motorist’s head.

The Senior Constable gave chase across the ACT border, before the driver finally pulled over.

The footage then shows the officer tapping the barrel of his pistol on the driver side window twice, before the very shaken motorist stepped out of the car, and understandably followed police orders.
