The campervan driver pulled up behind a police van on a road with no yellow lines.

A video shows the officer shouting: “What’s your f*****g name?”

The driver asks: “Why are you kicking off?” And the officer replies: “I’ve asked you f*****gnicely to move. You’re being an a***.”

He gives the driver a ticket, wrongly accusing him of obstruction.

The driver says he just wants to look at the view at the Wirral, Merseyside.

He adds: “Who are you swearing at? You’re getting reported, mate.”

The driver’s one-minute Facebook clip was viewed 130,000 times in 24 hours.

A viewer wrote: “This is absolutely disgraceful.”

Referring to the police worker’s stature, another mocked: “I think you were a little short with him.”

Police said their Professional Standards Department will investigate, and “robust action” could be taken.
