NSW Police investigating several bizarre TikToks of uniformed officers

NSW Police have launched an investigation after a TikTok user began posting multiple bizarre clips of uniformed officers, taken inside marked cars and a station.

Police are investigating the emergence of multiple videos of uniformed officers engaged in bizarre behaviour while on duty.

The vision was shared to TikTok across 23 separate posts by a person claiming to be a former New South Wales Police Force constable.

Shaun Cole, the purported owner of the account, has been approached by news.com.au for comment. Channel Seven reported that Mr Cole confirmed he was the person who uploaded the video.

Mr Cole left NSW Police in 2021, some two years after being disciplined over a separate incident.

Former television producer turned media commentator Rob McKnight first highlighted the TikToks on his internet show and said one of the officers featured is “mortified”.

The bizarre videos heavily feature a current serving police officer.

The TikTok account began uploading the bizarre and embarrassing clips three days ago.

In one clip, the officer can be seen using a dog filter while saying: “What do you want, you dog c***? F*** off.”

In another, again using a filter of a cartoon canine, the officer says “f*** off” followed by “my a** has been murdered”.

A compilation of snippets of Mr Cole and the officer together, both on and off duty, also feature the pair saying “dog c***”.

Shaun Cole left the NSW Police Force in 2021.

Channel Seven reported it had spoken to Mr Cole who said the uploads were “therapeutic”.

Some of the clips were filmed inside police vehicles and at a police station.

In another clip, the officer can be seen putting petrol in a marked police car while Mr Cole sits in the passenger seat, before asking: “Hey … how ‘bout you pump me?”

Alarmingly, some of the videos were filmed while Mr Cole was behind the wheel.

In one, splicing together several separate clips, he can be seen singing along to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey while driving with other cops.

Police are investigating the videos.

Some of the vision was also shot inside a NSW Police station.

Collectively, the posts have received almost 195,000 likes in three days, with one viewed more than 1.3 million times.

TikTok has now suspended the account but a second has been created by the poster, described as a “back up” should the first be removed.

McKnight said he had been in touch with Mr Cole who said posting the videos was “therapeutic”.

Viewers should “stay tuned” for more clips from “10 years worth” of content, McKnight quoted him as saying.

In several clips, Mr Cole can be seen filming himself while driving a police vehicle.

Around the exact time the account first began posting three days ago, another TikTok user shared one of the clips with a lengthy caption containing intimate information about Mr Cole’s time with police.

“The bloke making this video was Senior Constable Shaun Cole,” it reads.

“Cole was openly gay and was subjected to ongoing homophobic bullying for years by his colleagues and superiors in the NSW police force.”

A NSW Police spokesperson said an investigation into the videos is underway.

“Police are aware of social media posts involving two NSW Police officers. The videos were filmed several years ago.

“One of the officers separated from the NSWPF in February 2021. The other officer is a current serving police officer.”
