Random Aussie quickly learns why you shouldn't heckle a police officer on camera

Just another day in Australia.

Heckling a police officer is never a good idea. But doing it in front of a pack of press? Now you're really asking for a trouble.

An unknown Australian man (beer bottle in hand) learnt that the hard way when he shouted "BULLSHIT!" during an unnamed officer's address to reporters in Albury earlier this week, as per a video uploaded to Facebook on Tuesday by Prime7 News Border.

Unfazed, the police officer excused himself quickly upon hearing the heckle. He stopped the press conference, confronting the man and telling him to put down his beer bottle.

And believe us, it's worth a watch.

The police officer grabs the heckler by the shirt and drags him into the police station -- which just so happens to be only a couple of yards from the press conference. Tough luck, heroic heckler.

Just business as usual in Australia, folks.
