A glamorous cop who posted a social media video of her cleaning her patrol car has been sanctioned by bosses in Brazil.
Military Police officer Mayara Kelly Mota has been told on 4th April that the clip breaches rules on officers appearing in private posts in their uniforms.
The innocent-looking clip shows Mayara in police issue combat trousers, boots and a T-shirt as she hoses down the SUV police car at a police station in Ceara state.
As she soaps the bodywork she talks about the different roles women carry out in modern policing.
She says: "Some people think that women in the police force only work in administrative roles.
"Little do they know that we perform countless functions that until a few years ago could have been considered only for men."

Another clip she posted for her 41,000 Instagram followers showed her illustrating how to apply a life-saving tourniquet to stop blood loss.
Most of her social media clips show her relaxing on sportswear or showing off her curves in bikinis.
One, though, shows her in full police combat gear complete with a military assault rifle and body armour.
Police chiefs say Mayara violated the Military Disciplinary Code and ordered her to spend two days in confinement in police barracks.
But her lawyer Francisco Sabino says he is appealing the decision and says her Instagram posts are largely about her life as a working mum.

He said: "No documents or matters of restricted interest to the military police were disclosed.
"How did these two videos cause harm or disclose matters or documents of a military or judicial nature that could harm the institution?
"She did not disclose any tactics. She did not disclose any secret knowledge or information.
"All she is doing is praising the work of women."
