Everyone knows I have beef with The Pigs -- five-oh be gafflin' me crazy! -- but a recent drug raid in Polk County, Florida is changing my mind. Officers there were conducting a drug investigation in a citizen's home, but some officers got a little bored and turned on the Wii for some Wii Sports: Bowling!
While some detectives carried out evidence (flat screen televisions, shotguns) others were picking up spares and strikes on the flat-screen. According to the local press:
A Polk County sheriff's detective cataloging evidence repeatedly put down her work and picked up a Wii remote to bowl. When she hit two strikes in a row, she raised her arms above her head, jumping and kicking.
And...
While a female detective lifted a nearby couch looking for evidence, another sheriff's detective focused on pin action.
Those are my kind of cops! Here's a video for ya...
As you might expect, sissy liberal defense attorney types are just appalled at the game-playing.
"I've never seen anything like this," Tampa defense attorney Rick Escobar said. "All the citizens are thinking, 'Wait a minute, we are paying these people to go out and protect us and here they are playing bowling on our time.'"
"The real question here is have they seized property that wasn't described in the search warrant?" Escobar asked. "Clearly if they're using it, they've seized it and for totally improper purposes, because it's for entertainment. Investigations are not for entertainment."
Our brave heroes in blue deserve to play games on the job! Free the Wii cops!

That's scary. I was thnking if the guys from Broken Lizard did a Super Troopers sequel they'd screw around with a Wii. Especially Officer Farva.

well atleast these cops are getting some form of excersize, the cops where i live only get excersize from lifting the coffee cups and donuts at dunkin donuts.
RockieOllie

I skipped over this story earlier, but it just ran on my local news...because I live in Lakeland, FL.
I hear they are gonna change their motto to: To Serve and Protect...and Play Wii Bowling.

@ Shagdaddey;
Being a resident of Florida, I can assure you that cops in our state also park in a parking lot and nap during the day (such as the one right outside the building where I work). It just goes to show you the diversity of goofing-off cops we have here in this wonderful state.

Florida tax dollars at work. Better than the cops here in burbank, ca who go park in a parking lot and sleep. Pathetic.

Dude quite frankly I think they deserved to play it. I mean, they just scored a bust of guns and drugs and just because there playing wii to celebrate they are somehow not doing there job?

And none of them used the wrist strap nintendo provided to protect that giant piece of EVIDENCE they were aiming at! XD

Did the cops bust you for smoking weed or doing something else illegal?
Everyone hates the cops until some degenerate is trying to beat the crap out of you or take your stuff. Then the cops can't do enough to help you. I agree that the above video is ridiculous and unprofessional, and there have been several incidents where cops have tarnished the badge, but lets be honest. There are hundreds of thousands of good honest cops in the U.S. Imagine the bedlam if there were no cops? All the internet tough guy cop-haters would be crapping their pants while some criminal pillaged their house and stole their precious video game consoles. Cops run towards gunfire while everyone else ducks and runs away. They go into harms way for unappreciative people like you, and would give their life to save yours, so show some respect.

This is funny man. these guys need the break sometimes to release tension and this is one way to do it (not on the job tho).
Question:
(1) Why is it the camera was already set up before they enter the house
(2) Why is it the camera is so strategically placed so that it focused on the players and even @ one point zoomed in on the TV.
Does nintendo or a wii fan has anything to do with this? Just asking....

Wow, this has just made my day. You know, police work can be a bit strenous and boring; why not play a game, especially for the Wii?
Somebody could just be like this...
"Hey officers! Before you arrest me for possession of drugs, don't you want to play Raving Rabbids with me first?"

This would make the perfect Reno 911 sketch.

Defense against Escobar's accusation:
A) with the proper warrant, anything in the house is subject to search and seizure
B) the officers in question were examining the remotes to see if they were legitimate electronics, and were not housing further narcotics
