Andorran Police ID Man Insulting Officers in Viral WhatsApp Radar Video

Andorran police have identified the man behind a viral video circulating in WhatsApp groups this week, in which he insulted officers during a radar speed check. He now faces charges of a crime against honour for the abuse and its distribution across messaging networks.

The footage, shared widely among drivers exchanging alerts on traffic controls and road conditions, showed the operation while capturing the man's audible insults directed at the agents. This prompted a police investigation, culminating in the suspect's identification, as announced on social media.

In a post on X, Policia Andorra stated: "We have identified the alleged author of a video circulating this week in WhatsApp groups where the man can be heard insulting the Police while showing a radar check. He has been charged with crimes against honour for insulting the Police and disseminating it." The accompanying image highlighted the announcement.

Police sources confirmed to Altaveu that no arrest occurred, deeming the incident insufficiently grave for detention. The man is instead due to be summoned for a statement at headquarters, after which the case will proceed to the courts for review and any potential ruling.

These informal networks on platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram have grown popular lately, with users posting updates on accidents, police presence, and checks. While typically focused on practical information via photos and videos, this incident underscores the potential fallout from abusive content.
