Watch: Woman Pulls Cop Over For Speeding

MIAMI, FL — A Miami Dade Police officer with an alleged need for speed found the tables turned on him recently when a fellow motorist pulled him over for driving too fast.

The incident unfolded on Interstate 95 at Northwest 8th Street Friday. The woman posted the entire exchange to YouTube in a series of three videos. The first two videos chronicle Claudia Castillo’s pursuit of the allegedly lead-footed cop in a marked cruiser. The third is a face-to-face exchange between the two after she managed to get the officer to pull over.

Castillo claims the officer was driving between 80 and 100 mph.

“I was hitting 80 and I still could not catch up with him,” Castillo is heard on one of the videos explaining.

Determined to voice her concern, Castillo continued behind the officer until she was able to capture his attention by honking her horn and flashing her lights. Once the officer, who has not been identified, did pull over, he found himself on the receiving end of questions a cop might normally ask a speeder.

“I pushed 80 to try to catch up with you,” Castillo explained to the officer. “I was still eating your dust.”

The officer told her he was on the way to work and denied speeding at first. By the end of the conversation, he offered regrets.

“I apologize and I’ll be sure to slow down then,” he told her before telling her to be safe and heading back to his cruiser.

“I just think that we should all set an example,” Castillo told the officer.

The videos have been brought to the attention of the Miami-Dade Police Department. The agency has issued a statement saying it will investigate the matter. What action, if any, will be taken is not yet clear.
