An Ontario driver attempted to harass a police officer after being pulled over for distracted driving, and their argument is now being shared on social media.
Traffic Enforcement Specialist, Officer Papadopoulos, took to Twitter on Tuesday to share a direct message he'd received from the irritated motorist who claimed he tried to give them a "huge fine" for dropping their phone.

The message sent to the officer in all caps read, "[You're] a horrible cop for pulling me over and trying to get me with a huge fine, my phone dropped and I picked it up and looked at the time I'll make sure to fight this."
However, Officer Papadopoulos didn't seem phased by the message and called it a "common excuse."
"Shared a message that was sent to me. Common excuse. Distracted Driving law is simple. You can't hold or use a phone while operating a vehicle, which includes red lights & stop signs," he stated.
"Put away the phone. It Can Wait."
This isn't the first distracted driving charge that Ontario police have had to lay in the past weeks.
In fact, an Ontario driver was actually charged for taking their hands off the wheel to play the flute.
