A police recruitment video that received criticism for violating Sikh tradition has also taken flak for breaching land transport rules.

The "World's Most Entertaining Police Recruitment Video" was launched by NZ Police in November in a bid to attract hundreds of new cops to apply.

The two and a half minute video stars a huge range of New Zealand Police staff in a fun, fast paced sequence.

Despite its light-hearted intention, the video has received complaints from both the Sikh community as well as the national walking and pedestrian organisation Living Streets Aotearoa.

An earlier Herald article detailed the concerns of Sikh community leader Rajinder Singh after he noticed the video featured an officer, who was not Sikh, wearing an incorrectly wrapped turban.

Constable Heber Gasu, who is Samoan, can be seen in the video wearing the turban as he races through a container yard.

Singh said police "violated tradition" and wished a Sikh officer had been used in the video.

At the time, a police spokeswoman said there was no intention to cause disrespect to the community, but rather to show police welcomed all religions and backgrounds.

The video has since drawn more criticism after Andy Smith, the president Living Streets Aotearoa, noticed several vehicles parked on footpaths during the filming.
