    A man from Dubai whose hobby appears to be shipping his Lamborghini to North America and taking road trips posted a video of an interaction with an Oregon State Trooper earlier this month that has been viewed nearly 3 million times.

    In the dashcam video, posted by YouTube user “Stig’s Persian Cousin,” a state trooper appears at the man’s window as the man removes the steering wheel of the car.

    The trooper identifies himself as Trooper Rommer and then tells the man in the car that he is recording the interaction.

    “The reason I’m stopping you is because you don’t have any licenses plates on this car,” Trooper Rommer tells the man. “Is there any reason for that?”

    “I’m from Dubai,” the man says. “It’s my license plate right there.”

    “But you’re not in Dubai,” the trooper points out.

    “I’m visiting as a tourist,” the man responds.

    “Well, no you’re not visiting as a tourist if you brought a car with you,” the trooper responds.

    The interaction devolves from there, with the driver trying to explain that he is following the laws and the trooper insisting he knows the laws.

    “I’m pretty sure I know what I’m talking about right now,” the trooper says.

    The highlight of the video comes when the driver says to the trooper, “Imagine you want to drive your car in Europe. What do you do? You ship your car there, you drive it for a month and you ship it back.”

    “Naw,” the trooper says, “that’s not what I do.”

    Finally, the trooper says, “I have another call I have to go to. Be safe pulling into traffic.”

    Then he leaves.

    It turns out it was the driver who knew what he was talking about.

    “ORS 803.305 (14) specifically provides that vehicles currently registered and titled in any other country, state or territory are not required to be registered by this state, provided the owner is not a resident of this state or has been a resident for less than 30 days,” Oregon State Police spokesperson Timothy R. Fox said over email Tuesday.

    “ORS 807.020 (1) provides that a person who is not a resident of this state or who has been a resident of this state for less than 30 days may operate a motor vehicle without an Oregon license or driver permit if the person holds a current out-of-state or foreign license issued to the person,” he added.

    Ahhhh. It all makes sense now. You are one of Trump's errand boys. Were you feeding football players?

    Power corrupts. They don't have enough training. They are protected by their union.

    A cop literally has less training than a cosmetologist.

    Require a 4 year policing degree and see how many bad apples that weeds out. Pay them at 80-90K to start. Require them to be monitored with body cams.

    There are lots of things we can do to fix this shit.

    Aren't there some jurisdictions that require a 4 year degree already?

    Not to be a regular Oregon police officer.

    16 weeks. Pass bullshit weighted psych exam.

    Gun. Badge. Racism still intact.

    You should visit the drive in at Outback instead of Mc's. Your car deserves better.
