When it comes to turning a blind eye to cannabis use in Europe's most tolerant city, police in Amsterdam are demanding the right to practise what they preach.

Officers in the capital of the Netherlands are in open revolt against a new code of behaviour that orders them to stop taking drugs in their free time.

The new rules, due to come in on January 1, have upset officers who patrol the city's infamous coffee shops, where cannabis is smoked openly by locals and millions of tourists attracted by Amsterdam's relaxed atmosphere.
