An Uber driver was ripped out of his car and slapped with handcuffs by a hostile police officer over his insurance card – and the wild incident was caught on video in Florida.

It all began Saturday … the motorist was sitting behind the wheel of his ride-share vehicle at Miami International Airport with a passenger in the backseat.

A Miami-Dade police officer was standing at the driver’s open window demanding his license, registration and insurance information.

But, the cop wasn’t having it … he became increasingly nasty to the driver, accusing him of doing a poor job of providing safety and security and not listening. The cop added, “That’s why God gave you two ears and one mouth. You listen more than you speak.”

Then the officer raged, “Give me your registration and your insurance. I’m not here to take your nonsense.” The driver called the cop “aggressive,” and referred to the situation as “not normal.”

At some point, the officer again ordered him to turn over his insurance card. But, the driver said he only had an electronic copy – not a hard copy — leading to a physical confrontation.

The officer yanked the driver out of the front seat, pushing him up against the car and cuffing him. Then he hauled the driver away.

Police officials told WSVN — a local Miami news outlet – that the Uber driver did not obey commands and was detained, but not arrested.

Cops also acknowledged that an electronic copy of an insurance card is valid proof in the state of Florida. It’s not clear if the officer in question was disciplined.
