West Midlands Police has removed an officer from front line duties after he was secretly filmed quizzing a driver about being a good Muslim - before telling him he was “full of s***.”

The exchange was recorded by estate agent owner Shafiq Siddiq who was pulled over on New Year’s Day as he drove his Smart car along Stratford Road , Sparkhill.

The 35-year-old, who was travelling home from a party, was pulled over at 4am for undertaking a car that he claims was driving erratically in front of him.

He says he began filming exchanges in the back of the police car when the traffic officer began making checks on his identity.
