[quote] March, Polk County drug investigators raided the home of forty-three year old Michael Difalco near Lakeland, Florida. Difalco has an extensive arrest record. He’s done time in state prison for trafficking drugs. On this day, members of a multi department drug task force claim they discovered drugs, weapons and stolen property. A security camera they missed, showed detectives also discovered a fun video game to play, Wii bowling. And over the course of the next 9 hours, the game was on. One detective bowled frame after frame after frame. Practice makes perfect. And while one female detective lifted a couch looking for drugs, another detective focused on pin action Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd calls the display embarrassing. “How do you explain it? Well you can’t explain that, my deputies know that they shouldn’t have been playing Wii while they were involved in that search warrant. Detectives from the Sheriff’s office, Winter Haven, Auburndale and Lakeland police department�s all participated in the raid, and all caught on camera. Judd says it was the supervisors who are at fault. That doesn’t please me what pleases me less is the supervision that didn’t say turn the television off.“ Instead of ordering the video game and television turned off, this supervisor from Lakeland PD joined the fun. Defense attorney Rick Escobar watched a sampling of the drug raid video “I’ve never seen anything like this. I find this very offensive. Shocking embarrassing I’m sure that the department is extremely embarrassed by this behavior. “ Records show 16 detectives spent 9 hours searching Difalco’s property, the cost to taxpayers $4,000. Escobar thinks this will not look good to the public. “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 sheriff argues there is always down time during searches, no tax dollars were wasted. “The nature of a search warrant is hurry up and wait it just is, am i trying to defend the fact that they were bowling not at all, that was inappropriate.“ The sheriff claims he launched an internal administrative investigation, and will wait for a final report before he decides if anyone will face discipline. “It’s an embarrassment to the detectives involved and its an embarrassment to the organization but you know what we employee 1800 people and not one of them is perfect we all make mistakes. They made a mistake.“ [/quote] I saw this on the news this morning! I lol'd so hard. WHO SAIDS POLICE CAN'T TAKE A BREAK AND HAVE FUN??!

Nice. *Some shitty pun like Wii Cop here*
[b]FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS TO HAVE THEM PLAY WII?[/b] I demand a refund.
Tax money well spent.
[QUOTE=whazat!!!;17446344][b]FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS TO HAVE THEM PLAY WII?[/b] I demand a refund.[/QUOTE] Unless they paid so much for playing this wii for 12 seconds.
I believe i've seen something like this before.
Would've been funnier if the cop had thrown the Wiimote through the television screen by accident. *smash* "HE'S THROWING WIIMOTES" [Headline: Officer fends of assailant who reportedly threw his Wiimote, missing, and smashing his television in the process]
It's because they can't afford one with their salaries...

There's no way this can be real. 9 hours? On a drug raid? REALLY!?

Unfortunately such a gross act of unprofessionalism tars other cops with the same brush

To be honest I want to see the video. Would be funny to see cops jeering and raging as they played Wii Bowling for nine hours. Tax well spent!
X-Box 360 is better! :downs:
What the FUCK have you done?
