Cop car stunt's popularity backfires

Article from: The Advertiser

ONE of two mechanics sacked after filming themselves hooning in an police car they were supposed to be servicing could face criminal charges.

A video of the stationary burnout has been posted on the YouTube website, where it has been viewed more than 3300 times since last month.

The footage has also been widely circulated via email.

The 30-second video clip shows the police car with its bonnet up and rear wheels burning so much rubber the workshop quickly fills with smoke, obscuring the car.

The incident was at a Southgate Holden service centre on Goldsmith Drive, Noarlunga in South Australia.

An SA Police spokeswoman yesterday said the car was in the workshop as part of a statewide agreement with a fleet management service.

Police were "finalising an investigation into the incident" which happened last October, she said.

Southgate Holden managing director Peter Altman yesterday said the two workers had been dismissed over the incident and a third employee, who has since left the company, was disciplined.

Mr Altman said one of the sacked men faced criminal charges.

The police spokeswoman would not say if any charges had been laid.

"The service provider has since taken their own action to deal with the incident," she said.

Mr Altman said he was disappointed the footage had gained an internet following.

:lol: ROFL!!!!!!!
 
and all 10 minutes down the road from me lol.

i actually know a few people that have showish level holdens (monaros etc) who used to take their car there...not any more lol.

the police station is about a 5 minute walk from holdens as well.

they deserved it for being absolute knobs in my opinion. i personally wouldnt like to take my car to be serviced only to see a video of it on youtube doing a burnout.
 
Absolute idiots. Guess you can't blame em, they are from Norlunga :lol:

But seriously, why do it in the first place, your gonna get fucked over.
But then they were even dumber and fucking recorded it and posted it! Absolute wankers, deserve everything they get.
 
shoulda covered the number plate

I reckon the lights on top and the big sticker that says "POLICE" on the front still would have given them away.

Cops don't take that sort of thing lightly, they would have been caught regardless.
 
Those guys werent doing anything that the usual drivers of the car wouldnt do on a daily occurance :lol: I bet it gets thrashed everyday.... off camera of course!! :lol:
