Dashcam catches Queensland cop losing his cool
Queensland Police is investigating after an incident which saw one of its officers lose his cool after a motorist disobeyed an instruction to pull over on a Sunshine Coast road.
The clip, posted on the 9 News Queensland Instagram account, shows the officer – complete in high-visibility gear and a helmet – walking from the side of the road where his police motorcycle was parked.
It's believed speed checks were being carried out in a school zone, with the officer seemingly catching a vehicle exceeding the speed limit.
In doing so, the policeman then instructs the driver of a black BMW 5 Series to pull to the kerb, walking into the centre of the road to block the car's path, gesturing towards the side of the road.
Yet the black BMW does not stop.

Instead, the driver swerves around the officer and carries on, blatantly – and illegally – disobeying the command.
While this may seem interesting enough, the officer doesn't take the disregard for his authority lying down: he instead makes his dissatisfaction known by aggressively lobbing his police radio at the car.
The radio hits the side window of the BMW bouncing back towards the officer violently before landing on the road.
It's not known why the motorist refused to pull over, with the assumption they had been caught speeding and saw the move to avoid a speeding infringement.
Yet the vehicle's registration was recorded – in the clip posted to social media at least – making the owner responsible for disobeying the move.
There's no indication that the vehicle was stolen.
School zones in Queensland are typically 40km/h in areas where the regular speed limit is 50, 60 or 70km/h.
Speeding in school zones attracts double points across the state, with a minimum fine of $174 for travelling up to 10km/h over the posted limit resulting in two demerit points.

‘Shattered': Mum breaks silence after housemates charged with murder of Pheobe Bishop
The mother of missing teenager Pheobe Bishop has shared her grief after the girl's housemates were charged with her murder, pleading for information that would allow her to lay her child to rest. On Thursday evening, police charged James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33, with murder and interfering with a corpse in relation to the disappearance of the teenager. Pheobe had been living with the pair before she vanished on May 15. Her mother, Kylie Johnson, said her world was 'shattered' by the news and begged for her daughter's remains to be located. 'Our world has just been shattered into the most horrific place I've ever been,' she wrote. 'I need my baby home to put her to rest! 'I'm absolutely begging anyone that knows anything to come forward. WE need to put her to rest, we need to put her to peace. 'My heart is holding onto every little memory and hope that you come home to us Phee Phee. 'The little internal family jokes, the little digs at your siblings and the love that you all unconditionally shared. 'The fierceness of that was beyond beautiful and unique.' Ms Johnson recalled how close Pheobe and her siblings were, and noted how special their 'emotional connection' was. 'I remember someone commenting once that you were all so co-dependent that you finished each other sentences. This statement made me the happiest mum alive!' she wrote. 'Your sibling bond is deep, meaningful and makes my heart so happy. 'The emotional connection, love and friendship has always been unmatched and unquestioned.' On Thursday, Queensland Police announced two people had been arrested and charged with one count each of murder and two counts each of interfering with a corpse. The teenager's remains are yet to be found. 'Pheobe has not been seen or heard from since May 15,' the police statement read. 'The remains of Pheobe Bishop have not been located to date.' The two charged are set to appear in Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Friday. Mr Wood was initially arrested and taken into custody on Wednesday June 4, but was released that night without charge. Pheobe was last seen by her housemates, who told police they were driving her to Bundaberg Airport from their home in Gin Gin in Ms Bromley's grey Hyundai ix35 on May 15. The teenager intended to fly from Bundaberg to Brisbane, then on to Perth to see her boyfriend. She never boarded the flight. Detectives have conducted several searches of the area, Good Night Scrub National Park , as well as forensic examinations of the Gin Gin property and the Hyundai ix35. 'Detectives continue to investigate this matter, and physical searches will continue as needed as information is provided,' police said on Thursday night. More to come

Missing teen's housemates to face murder charges
The housemates of missing teen Pheobe Bishop are set to appear in court after being charged with the 17-year-old's murder. James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33, were arrested in southern Queensland's Bundaberg area on Thursday night. It marked three weeks to the day after Pheobe missed a flight and vanished. Wood and Bromley were also charged with two counts each of interfering with a corpse. Pheobe's remains are yet to be located, police said. Pheobe's mother Kylie Johnson said on Thursday night her family had been "shattered". Ms Johnson had been posting on social media almost every day since her daughter's "suspicious" disappearance pleading for information. "Our world has just been shattered into the most horrific place I've ever been…" she wrote on Thursday night. "I need my baby home to put her to rest! I'm absolutely begging anyone that knows anything to come forward. "We need to put her to rest, we need to put her to peace." Wood and Bromley are set to appear in Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Friday. Police will address the media at a press conference in Bundaberg from 9am AEST on Friday. "Detectives continue to investigate this matter, and physical searches will continue as needed as information is provided," a Queensland Police statement said. Pheobe was last seen near Bundaberg airport about 8.30am on May 15 after booking a trip to Western Australia to see her boyfriend. CCTV footage indicated Pheobe never arrived at the airport terminal. Wood had previously been taken into custody on Wednesday but was released several hours later without charge. The search for Pheobe was scaled back on Wednesday after police had spent weeks combing several areas of interest in southern Queensland. One of those areas was a property in Gin Gin where Pheobe had lived with Wood and Bromley. The Gin Gin property near Bundaberg and a grey Hyundai ix35, thought to have been used to take Pheobe to the airport, were declared crime scenes soon after her disappearance which police described as suspicious. The police search at one stage focused on Good Night Scrub national park, an hour's drive from Bundaberg airport, with homicide detectives, cadaver dogs and divers called in. Some items believed to be linked to the investigation were seized for forensic examination. The search revealed evidence might have been moved from the national park before police arrived. Wood and Bromley had earlier been charged with unrelated weapons offences. The heartbreaking toll of Pheobe's disappearance had been documented by Ms Johnson's social media posts as they held onto hope. "I don't know if life will ever be the same again? I don't know if I will ever look at the world the same way that I did before May 15th," Ms Johnson posted on Wednesday.
