Canadian police are saying sorry.

They are apologizing to the rock band Nickelback, after they posted online saying they would play Nickelback songs as punishment whenever they pulled someone over for drunk driving.

In an apology posted on Facebook, the department said the message went viral, and instead of bringing awareness to drinking and driving, it became more about bashing the band.

They have since removed the post and have reached out to the band.
