Police in Western Australia have to patrol pretty rugged terrain, but they make use of their 4WD vehicles for more than just off-roading.
In the video below, officers from the Wyndham Police Department line up a row of beer cans confiscated during traffic stops one evening in Wyndham. The department posted it on its Twitter account as a public service message to warn others against drinking, with the hashtag "#crushed”.

Wyndham is a liquor restricted town of only 800 residents, of the 70 jobs attended this week by police, 51 have been alcohol related, or 73%
