Interesting story out of New Zealand. Modder Stacy O’Callaghan, “sick of all this American rubbish” in the GTA franchise, set about modding his PC version (doesn’t say which) to include official New Zealand police insignia on the cops and the cop cars.

Now here’s a familiar story, modder cooks up something and gets in legal trouble, although it’s usually from the software publisher. In this case, “unauthorised use of a police uniform” is an offence under New Zealand’s Police Act. And even though it’s unclear whether this really fits the definition of that offence, the cops are looking at their options. A cop spokesman said the police are looking into the matter.
