The RCMP has launched an internal investigation after footage of a B.C. Mountie conducting a confrontational traffic stop went viral online.

Edmonton resident Shawn Michaelz said his girlfriend was driving them through Kelowna this week when the unidentified officer pulled them over.

The reason, according to Michaelz, was that he threw his hands in the air after seeing the Mountie turn left at an intersection without signaling.

“So what would you like to say to me?” the officer asks in the video.

“I am doing my job. I am looking for a licence plate and I look down at my screen and I may have lost track of where I was on the road.”

When Michaelz suggests the officer was driving distracted, the situation escalates.

“OK,” the officer says. “Well, we will have a look at your paint job, your rims, make sure they are high enough from the ground.”

The footage doesn’t capture their full interaction, but eventually shows the officer admitting Michaelz had ticked him off.

“You want to pot shot me by saying I am a distracted driver when I am doing my job. I said OK, you want to see my job, wait right here I will get a traffic member and we will check your car. That is doing my job,” he says.

“OK,” Michaelz responds.

“What I said is nothing wrong. So at the end of the day, you can agree or disagree all you want. But in 20 years of doing the job, I don’t get mad. And you were able to make me mad,” the Mountie says before the footage cuts off.

Ultimately, no inspection was done on the vehicle and they didn’t receive a ticket, Michaelz told CTV News.

But the Kelowna RCMP said the footage is still concerning, and the force’s Professional Standards Unit is investigating.

Supt. Nick Romanchuk said the Facebook post was brought to his attention Thursday morning and he’s watched it multiple times, but it’s too early to comment on what happened.

“I do have some concerns but I’m also aware that I don’t have all the details,” Romanchuk said.

“We’ll conduct a thorough review of everything that happened during that traffic stop and then we’ll come to a conclusion as to the appropriateness of the officer’s actions.”

Michaelz said he has no hard feelings toward the Mountie, but he felt compelled to post the video because he believes motorists should stand up to law enforcement if they think they’re being treated unfairly.
