A COP clowns around by bouncing on a trampoline during a drug bust.

The copper's antics were caught on camera while his colleagues checked for evidence

A neighbour who filmed the officer’s antics is heard saying: “This is what you pay your taxes for. I can’t f***ing believe it.”

West Midlands Police are investigating in Coventry. The force said: “This appears to fall short of our high standards.”

Ex-Det Chief Insp Mike Neville said: “It is essential officers have light-hearted moments, but these days they are often seen focusing on the wrong things.

“The war on drugs seems to have been taken over by a circus with an acrobatic officer as star act.

“The British bobby used to be respected throughout the world. A professional, authority figure with a friendly smile and ability to catch crooks.

This is what you pay your taxes for. I can’t f***ing believe it.

“Officers now seem to model themselves on Kindergarten Cop rather than Dixon of Dock Green. Too often they are seen fooling around and bringing policing into disrepute.”

The officer was one of four investigating a terraced house in Coventry on Friday. He removed his kit belt to perform somersaults as a colleague laughed.

Earlier this month Met cops were videoed dancing and skateboarding at a climate protest in London.
