We at Tone Deaf are of the opinion that no matter who you are, whether prince or pauper, Labour, Liberal or Greenie, everybody loves to rock out, even police officers.

In fact, one member of the Australian Federal Police is such a committed music fan they recently showed up whilst on-duty in an AFP cruiser to the 24Hundred store in Richmond, Melbourne.

According to a tweet from the UNFD-affiliated store, two members of the AFP showed up looking to purchase A Day To Remember merch. The store is closed on Tuesdays, but you don’t say no to the law.

“We’d just finished our weekly team lunch when we noticed a red Australian Federal Police car parked outside our window,” Chris Ventura, Marketing Assistant at 24Hundred told Tone Deaf.

“After many jokes about which of our Richmond neighbours was getting arrested, the two officers continued walking around the area searching for something.”

The ADTR T-Shirt The Officer Purchased

“They approached our 24Hundred warehouse downstairs door, as the store wasn’t open at the time, and spoke to our Store and Warehouse Manager.”

“A little intimidated, he and our warehouse staff helped out the officers who in the end just wanted to buy an A Day To Remember t-shirt.”

“Normally we’re unable to process purchases if the store isn’t open, however we made an exception just this one time.” Chris admitted the officer was likely purchasing the T-shirt for his kid, but he could well be a big ADTR fan.
