Being a traffic police in China is busy work.

Not only do they have to speak good English, they also have to arrest people who do weird stunts.

A recent July 15, 2017, video from Haikou, Hainan's capital province, showed a motorcyclist faking a spirit possession dance just to get out of being fined.

The man had failed to adhere to traffic rules andcould be seen trying to escape from getting charged by a group of Chinese traffic police officers.

At first, he defended himself by saying: "I'm a worker, I'm a worker, I'm not doing anything wrong."

But when it didn't work, he began singing and dancing erratically on the streets as if he were possessed, obstructing the traffic nearby.

Here are other funny reactions to the scene:

"The police must have whispered in his ear: 'Do you do freestyle'?"

"Love the performing arts - the world is your stage"

"Pretending you're an ancient spirit is actually a ritual in Hainan. Commonly known to call upon these ancient spirits, when the spirit enters your body through this ritual, you'll be so full of supernatural energy that ordinary people cannot come close to you. There's a temple in Haikou that still has this ritual...Okay I can't fabricate this story anymore"

The dance seemed to work. While he was dancing, the man found an opportunity to escape from the traffic police and quickly did so.

However, about 28 hours later, the man lodged a report against himself and admitted to the police that he indeed pretended to be possessed by spirits in order to escape.

The 49 year-old man, who works as a security guard, is now put in administrative detention for five days.
