"His instructions are . . . that her pants had actually fallen down and members of the public were looking at her and laughing," the lawyer said.
"He instructs that he asked her to pull her pants up and accepts that he shouldn't have dealth with it in the sitatuation by impersonating a police officer."
Judge Hobbs said if Makatea had issues with the summary details he should not have pleaded guilty.
He noted Makatea had two previous convictions for impersonating an officer, one from more than 10 years ago and the other from 20 years ago. He also has previous convictions "of a sexual nature".
Despite the fact Makatea is 80-years-old, his lawyer said he was able to do community work. Judge Hobbs noted he did not look 80-years-old.
Makatea is currently on parole and being monitored by Corrections.
Judge Hobbs sentenced him to 50 hours of community work.
