MOVE OVER GARDA Twitter account, there’s a new coolest police force in town.
Not only does the Seattle Police Department have an amazing Twitter account, they were also handing out Doritos at a festival in the city at the weekend.

Hempfest is the first large scale pro-marijuana event in Washington State since its recreational use was legalised there last autumn.
The police operation to inform users about the rules regarding marijuana was called Operation Orange Fingers… because of the Dorito dust.
CNN reports that Seattle Police Sgt Sean Whitcomb said:
The supplies of the snack were handed out each morning to attendees, and when they were gone, police issued this advisory:
More than 250,000 people attended the three-day festival, which took place at Seattle’s waterfront park.
