01 · THE DISPATCH

Female police officers from the Kfar Shalem station in Tel Aviv are facing backlash after posting Instagram videos of themselves driving a vehicle with a phone in hand and without a helmet, according to a report by Daniel Amram's network. The videos reportedly angered teenagers who claim they received traffic tickets from the same officers for similar offenses — riding a scooter without a helmet.

The report notes that police have not yet responded to the incident. The officers' social media posts were shared on Instagram and quickly circulated on other platforms, according to the source.

The incident is the latest in a series of police-related controversies reported in Israel in recent weeks. As The Zioneer has reported, other incidents have included a police officer threatening a teen with a taser over a missing helmet, an arrest of a 14-year-old for reckless e-scooter riding, and a video showing two officers allegedly engaging in a sexual act near a patrol car. These cases have fueled public debate over police conduct and enforcement practices.
