Police say the driver of a marked Police car seen playing a video while driving has come forward and been issued with an infringement notice.<\/p>\n
A video has been circulating social media of the marked Police car driving along the road while a video of what appears to be a FIFA match is played on a screen on the dashboard.<\/p>\n
A Police spokesperson said they had investigated the incident which happened on June 17 and the staff involved have come forward, and have been spoken to.<\/p>\n
“The driver has been issued an infringement notice, and both staff have been reminded of the high standards required when operating Police vehicles,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
“Police apologise for this incident, and we acknowledge the concern this may have caused,” Inspector MinHo Lee of Counties Manukau Central Police said.<\/p>\n
“We want to be clear that Police officers must role model safe behaviour on our roads and they should lead by example.”<\/p>\n
Inspector Lee said Police were committed to maintaining the high standards communities rightly expected of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police say the driver of a marked Police car seen playing a video while driving has come forward…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":491894,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":["post-491893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=491893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491893\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/491894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=491893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=491893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=491893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
