Does police outrank highway patrol?

A Tennessee cop got into a heated confrontation with a highway patrol trooper after he attempted to pull him over while he was driving a local politician.

The trooper was escorting state House Speaker Cameron Sexton in a black SUV when an officer with the Metro Nashville Police Department issued a traffic stop, alleging the trooper was driving 30mph over the speed limit.

The police car drove up to the SUV in the left lane while instructing it to pull over, and the trooper finally complied.

Another officer was heard over the radio saying the SUV refused to stop for them earlier.

When the police officer got out of his vehicle, he yelled at the highway patrol officer to ‘get over here!’

‘I’m highway patrol!’ the trooper replied.

The altercation then turned physical as the officer pushed the trooper and fired back: ‘I don’t care who you are!’

‘Get your freakin’ hands off me,’ the trooper responded.
