Police caught playing Wii during drugs raid

Sure everyone loves having a go on Wii bowling, but you'd have thought that cops in the middle of an armed drugs raid might have something more important to be doing.

Apparently not. Within 20 minutes of storming a convicted drug dealer's home, a group of police officers in the US -- there to hunt for drugs and stolen property -- got distracted by his Nintendo console.

As colleagues continued searching the group knocked out several rounds of Wii Bowling. Unfortunately for them (but great for YouTube -- see below) their search had been so brief they hadn't even noticed the wireless security camera which was pointed at them and recording the game.

The footage shows that for over NINE HOURS they played on-and-off. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd says that not even the two strikes in a row hit by one detective will make up for the embarrassment caused to his department.
