Police in Australia adopt 'Miami Vice' style for its festival safety video

Normally police advice videos are informative, but pretty bland.

But when Australia's Northern Territory Police department were brainstorming ideas for their latest video, they wanted it to be anything but.

Their 80s-style video warning people to stay safe at Bass in the Grass festival has gone viral, with 114,000 views so far on Facebook.

As well as cheesy uses of the word "lit" and mock camera drops, the video also includes a chicken called Richard.

The Northern Territory Police have released this funny safety advice video.

The police force behind the video, based in Darwin, used a combination of 80s-style graphics and music to warn people from jumping the fence at the annual festival.

According to them "fence climbing is not goodly", alluding to Donald Trump's use of the word.

Also, Richard the chicken - who is arguably the star of the video - had his "proper legit" ticket confiscated when Senior Constable Dean told him it was fake.

Reaction to the video has been largely positive on social media - with more than 1,000 comments on the Facebook video.

One user appreciated how the Northern Territory police made safety fun to talk about.

Erin was also a big fan of Richard the chicken.

And one user used more emojis than words.

Bass in the Grass festival is an annual festival in Darwin, which is taking place this weekend.

Australian band The Veronicas are on the line-up this year, with The Temper Trap and Pendulum playing in previous years.
