On-Duty Police Officer Caught Playing PSP

This hasn’t hit any major news outlets, probably because it looks like the photographer simply sent the picture to PSPHome.com, but it’s amusing, as well as disconcerting. I mean, yes, a police officer’s life is a stressful one, and relaxation is important, but not while you’re watching a wall that might collapse (the picture was taken in East London; remember those gales last week?).

A builder took the snap of the cops. He said: “They were oblivious to everything else.” The Metropolitan Police said: “The use of the games console was inappropriate and unprofessional. Senior officers are dealing with the matter.” Source: PSPHome.com

We Say: They were obviously engrossed in the game enough to let multiple pictures get taken. At the very least, I hope he won the game, because he’s going to lose a few days of work (if not worse).
