Nhlamulo "Nota" Baloyi, a free man after serving a short prison stint, was his usual controversial self in public, judging by the recent scene he caused.

And it involved none other than law enforcement.

Nota films schools cops at roadblock

A video, posted by anticrime reporter @Abramjee, has surfaced of the self-proclaimed record label executive, fresh from reportedly serving only two weeks of a 60-day sentence, engaged in a war of words with police officers.

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.
