The caption read:
"We need professional officers, @SAPoliceService. This happens often…"
While it is unclear where the standoff occurred, Nota could be seen first facing off against one officer, whose rank is unknown, from the Sandton police station, according to the insignia on the side of the police van.
He could be heard yelling at him for "unjustifiably" stopping him and his e-hailing driver on the road. An animated Baloyi then demanded to see the stunned officer's police badge.
"You don't have a roadblock; there's no stop and search sign [and] you're searching this car! Under what Criminal Procedure Act? Please, lend ... can I see your badge, please?"
The stumped officer could be seen fumbling over his words as he tried to serve up a rebuttal.
"Do we need, eh ... do we need, eh ... No, wait, eh ... what do you call? [unintelligible]?"
To which Baloyi replies:
"You need a reason. Yes, you need probable cause to stop and search. Can I please see your badge?"

Baloyi had previously been found guilty of contempt of court involving his defamatory statements about rapper K.O. and his brother Scorpio Siya.
Following his conviction, he was incarcerated at the infamous Johannesburg Central Prison near Naturena, Gauteng, ultimately serving only a short stint.
The court had since placed him under house arrest until January 2025 while on high-risk supervision.
By the time this story was published, Abramjee's clip had garnered over 286,000 views after posting it at 7:28 p.m. on 7 December 2024.
