Jessica Nkosi’s encounter with traffic cop

LOCAL personality Jessica Nkosi tweeted about an “uncomfortable encounter” she had with a Johannesburg metro police traffic officer.

On Tuesday, she revealed how she was stopped by an unnamed traffic officer and asked why officers had to stick their heads through the window. When she started to feel uncomfortable, the Volvo ambassador asked the male officer to move a bit back.

She mentioned that she was wearing a short dress which upped the level of discomfort.

“When cops stop you on the roads, why do they put their whole heads through the window? Now he’s practically in the car with you. I had to ask this guy to move back coz I was feeling so uncomfortable,” tweeted Jessica Nkosi (@JessicaNkosi).

IOL Entertainment asked the Johannesburg metro police what a motorist should do in this situation.

“If any officer is misbehaving, or if a motorist feels uncomfortable with an officer’s behaviour, they are advised to call the Johannesburg metro police’s internal affairs on 0800203713. Get as much information as you can on the officer so the internal affairs office can investigate them,” said Johannesburg metro police’s Wayne Minnaar.

This is not the first time a local celebrity has had an uncomfortable encounter with a traffic officer.

In November, rapper, Rouge, shared a story of how a traffic officer asked her why she wasn’t wearing long pants, while he was looking in her car with a flashlight.

Social media influencer Lerato Mannya then asked her if she got the officer’s badge number and name to report the inappropriate question from the officer.

Rouge said this was not the first time a traffic cop had asked inappropriate questions, which included an officer asking her if she was married and why such a pretty girl was driving alone.

She said if women did question male cops, they would “make your night a living hell”.
