Can I put hand luggage between my legs in the Flixbus?

I have always put my backpack between my legs in the Flixbus to get a laptop, food and co. On the last trip we were told that it should only be stored in the storage space above the seat. A police check might have to pay 150 euro. Is that correct? I actually always see that and thought it was completely ok.

This has to do with the fact that people occupy seats with their luggage. There's no other way to master it

PS. Did you know that you can pull the seats apart? Then you have more space

The bus driver spoke expressly of hand luggage between the legs, that is not allowed and may cost 150 euro.
