Game over: Cops caught playing Wii game in house they had just raided, face discipline

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Uh oh these cops are not only stopping the bad guys they are becoming the bad guys.  I guess WII bowling is just to addicting.  I imagine this will be a slap on the wrist but, come on, what were you cops thinking?

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — It’s game over for some police officers who played video games while they raided a convicted drug dealer’s home in central Florida.

Surveillance video obtained by WFLA in Tampa caught the officers playing a Nintendo Wii bowling game, with one furiously jumping up and down in celebration. Officials say some of the officers could be disciplined.

Officers with the anti-drug task force had just stormed into the home of the convicted drug dealer, who was already in custody. One Polk County sheriff’s detective can be seen taking several breaks from cataloging evidence so she can bowl frames.

The officers did not know a video camera had been set up in the house before the March raid.
