A police recruitment video that received criticism for violating Sikh tradition has also taken flak for breaching land transport rules. Despite its light-hearted intention, the video has received complaints from the Sikh community and the national walking and pedestrian organisation, Living Streets Aotearoa. Constable Heber Gasu, who is Samoan, can be seen in the video wearing the turban as he races through a container yard. The video has since drawn more criticism after Andy Smith, the president Living Streets Aotearoa, noticed several vehicles parked on footpaths during the filming. In a release, Smith said while the ASA might think the advert was funny, Living Streets was not laughing.
