Man ticketed for catching cops sleeping on the job

The Surete du Quebec has launched an internal investigation after a video was taken that appears to show a pair of officers asleep in their patrol car.
The squad car was parked on the side of Highway 40 between the exits for St. Maurice and Des Prairies, and didn't appear to have anyone inside, according to the person who made the video.
The cameraman started filming as he walked up to the car and spotted two people lying down in the front seats.
"They're sleeping on the job!'' he exclaimed in the video.
The SQ officers then fined the cameraman $156 for parking in an area reserved for emergency vehicles, although a Crown prosecutor has the right to overturn the ticket if it is contested.
Sergeant Guy Lapointe says the SQ was notified of the situation this morning and immediately launched a disciplinary review.
The officers involved have been asked to file a written report, and investigators will talk to the person who made the video.
The video was first made public through radio station NRJ 102.3 FM.
