A Canadian police department has issued an official apology to Nickelback for using the group's music as a means of punishment to deter drunk driving.
"A police department in Canada has officially apologized to Nickelback for threatening to make drunk drivers listen to their songs," ABC's Amy Robach reported Tuesday. "They were hoping Nickelback's music would be an extra deterrent, but now they say bullying in any form is wrong."
Laughing could be heard in the background as Robach reported the story.
The Kensington Police Service in Prince Edward Island announced last week that when it catch drivers under the influence, they will not only get a "hefty fine" but also be forced to listen to "the office's copy of Nickelback in the cruiser on the way to jail."
The statement by the police, which was later taken down, said the department was trying to "put a little humor into a very serious matter of drinking and driving."
The notice ended by asking the public to not drink and drive in the first place.
Robach admitted that she likes some of Nickelback's songs.
