Canadian chopper cops turn air blue

Police in the Canadian city of Winnipeg have apologised after a lewd conversation about sex was broadcast from the loudspeakers of a police helicopter to a neighbourhood below.

Officers on a routine helicopter patrol over the city of Winnipeg on Monday night inadvertently activated the aircraft’s public address system while they were having a private conversation, the Winnipeg Police Service said in a statement.

“Some content of the conversation was inappropriate. The involved members were not able to hear the public address system from within the aircraft.
