I agree

I don't see them bantering with the public ...

Is it me, or were they not meant to be working ??

Sounds great .... but how do you think the victims of crime would feel about this ...

Anyway .... doesn't sound like they were disiplined ........... just told it was a bad idea .... which it was !!!

Hasn't Superintendent Andrew Murray got better things to superintend? Like getting his head out of his ****?

Yes, just a bit of fun. But they were on duty, and made to look very unprofessional. What did they expect?!

There was a story a few years ago of the fireman, sorry, firefighter who let his mates video him while he took a ride inside a massive tumble dryer. There's not a lot he would be able to say for himself getting injured like that, and the same goes for sliding down a hill on a riot shield :-s

A call would come in for a random location, so unless they are already on call i cant see this being an issue?

kin hell - you got a sense of humour-na didn't think so-

Magnums got it spot on .... its unprofessional .... and makes the force look unproductive ....

As a generalisation, there is too much waste in the Police force as it is ... too much banter ... and a lack of urgency towards anything (friends of mine in the force tell me)

You only have to watch Traffic cops to see wasted time .... and unprofessional banter with criminals .... if I behaved like that in my industry I wouldn't have a job .... I have to be professional for every second I'm at work ....

obviously some others don't have that at work..... but I feel the Police (and any public service) should be at all times ...

Think if anything it shows joe public that the cops are human-how do you suggest a cop speaks to criminals that they come into contact with everyday?

its a tough one but if any of us did that during our working day wouldnt our bosses tell us off too?

I thought the super was gonna be a hit harder than that with them tbh and i have a feeling he said it to them with a twinkle in his eye tbh, kinda like "i have to say this but good for you lads.....just dont be stupid enough to let someone film you again, ok?"
