Previously, a video showing a married couple, who are youtube celebrities from the United Kingdom being stopped by a traffic police officer for speeding went viral and is now a hot topic among netizens. The Video was shared on YouTube via the account 'UK Van Lifers'
In the video, a man believed to be a traffic police officer told the couple that there were two options to pay the fine.
"Pay at the police station or pay here? If you pay at the station, RM300. Pay now, RM100," said the traffic police man
Due to the difference in the amount, the couple decided to pay RM100 at the location where they were stopped
However, the location and date of the incident has yet to be confirmed.
Following the video, the average netizen believed this was a case of a corrupt police officer pocketing the RM100
