WATCH: Bad boys, what y'a gunna do when court duty comes for you? In the case of these Canadian cops, run - and make a movie trailer of it.

BAD boys: What y'a gunna do when court duty comes for you? In the case of these Canadian cops, run - and make a movie trailer of it.

Now the three Durham Regional Police officers in Ontario are themselves bad boys.

They're under internal investigation after posting a video to YouTube showing the fanciful lengths uniformed officers go through to get out of court duty.

"Central Cells" shows the three police employees - two are officers and one is a special constable - using official police equipment as props for their 64-second clip, filmed inside the police station itself.

Bad Boys ... The three police employees at the centre of the "scandal".

The lyrics boom their message across from amid dramatic music:

"3 officers on a quest for freedom

"Will discover there is no escape

"From cellblock ...

"Forced to serve prisoners

"How far will they go …

"for freedom?"

The explosive footage includes clips of controversial Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and President Barack Obama.

The more mundane elements of their message show officers holding a roll of toilet paper for a prisoner and cleaning up a bloodstained bathroom.

Thorough examination ... That's what three police employees face after posting a YouTube video mocking Toronto's mayor, President Obama and the Canadian court system.

"I have no idea what the motivation for producing this video would be, but I believe it is disrespectful to the hardworking men and women of this branch and embarrassing for everyone here," Police Chief Mike Ewles said in a news release.

He has instructed the professional standards unit to conduct an internal investigation "immediately."

Perhaps salvation for these cops is hidden within the credits - if investigators watch them.

"Not made on company time," it notes.
