A hostess plays a Wii game during the video game show in Paris

LAKELAND, Fla. — It's game over for some police officers who played video games while they raided a convicted drug dealer's home in central Florida.

Surveillance video obtained by WFLA in Tampa caught the officers playing a Nintendo Wii bowling game, with one furiously jumping up and down in celebration. Officials say some of the officers could be disciplined.

Officers with the anti-drug task force had just stormed into the home of the convicted drug dealer, who was already in custody. One Polk County sheriff's detective can be seen taking several breaks from cataloging evidence so she can bowl frames.

The officers did not know a video camera had been set up in the house before the March raid.

    I don't know if this has anything to do with the conversation but I live in a town that has those cameras at all the intersections to catch drivers running red lights and speeding. So now I've noticed that there are a lot of cars all of a sudden that have the front license plate spray painted so you can't tell what the numbers and letters are.

    I have heard of that as well..and some do it here in California as well and some even wear a mask when they come to the intersection where the red light cameras are...
    I guess it just shows their disrespect for the laws that protects us all..
    It isn't right that they do this sort of thing...the laws were made for a purpose and if one obeys then them we all should...
    Also here in California if you are caught without a front lic plate you will receive a ticket....
    I apprecaite everyones comment...I really enjoy hearing others opinions...we all have then and it is a good thing...
