Sentul district police deputy chief Supt Mohamed Rafiq Mohamed Mustafa said the 21-year-old suspect was detained at the Sentul district police station at 2.10 am.
He said the suspect admitted to recording a video of the policeman with the intention to tarnish the image of the police.
The video was made when the policeman was issuing a summons to the suspect, he said in a statement.
Rafiq said the policeman was on patrol in Taman Desa Bakti when he stopped the suspect at 6.30pm for riding a motorcycle without wearing a crash helmet.
