Bopping cop.

Enjoyed this clip, have to laugh when he cools it to acknowledge a driver, when the moment passes, right back into it.

Its a great promotional exercise - 10/10 for creativity and execution. Although, not sure about turning all those corners 1-handed without using an indicator.......doesn't set a really good example !

As I remarked to my wife in Aust the do gooders and nannies would be baying for his sacking, full marks to the dept for seeing it for what it was and using it as a PR tool.

It was on the news (cutting edge stuff) and he had his hands off the wheel quite a few times while moving and turning. If it was a regular person with that on youtube do you think the police wouldn't be at their door asking questions? If I was that police officer I would be embarrassed.  Not because of singing a song but because I've been filmed driving like a idiot, when it's my job to catch people driving like an idiot.  He won't be able to issue a fine ever again, you would just take him to court and show his video of his driving standards! Reality TV, I can live without it thanks.

Well, I reckon it's great, as do most who have viewed it elsewhere.

It was funny yeah, and cameras are everywhere these days but the police should be leading by example shouldn't they.  No I don't think they should fire him, they should educate him and making him the a lead for their social media education videos! I had a bigger laugh tonight before the bopping cop was on.  Headline was "Accident causes man to be half burned", but it turned out that the "accident" was him jumping a fence and shimmying up a pole to the high voltage train lines.  WFT?  They tried to pass that off as "larking" about with mates.  Seriously?  Some folk are stupid.  I call it natural selection, not an "accident".

The problem with natural selection is that our brightest and best use extraordinary resoureces to rescue and repair our stupid and inconsiderate. Too harsh... Wow yes... I may need a second coffee....

Not harsh at all, don't waste resources, simply let nature take its course, no professional intervention necessary.
