A man in England was sledding in a Kayak when police approached with riot shields. The Kayak sledder worried he had broken the law until the policemen turned their shields into sleds. A video made its way to YouTube. The police chief wasn't amused but admitted that snow brings out the child in every one.

LONDON — Some British bobbies have been reprimanded after they used their riot shields as makeshift sleds during the country's cold snap.
A passer-by filmed the bobbies goofing around on a snowy hill in Oxford and posted the clip on YouTube. It shows a policeman barreling downhill while another shouts, "Whatever happens, keep smiling!"
Rick Latham, who filmed the scene on Tuesday, said he was pleasantly surprised by the officers' actions. He thought they were going to scold him for trying to slide down the hill in a kayak.
Thames Valley Police Superintendent Andrew Murray said today he had told the officers "that tobogganing on duty, on police equipment and at taxpayers' expense is a very bad idea."
But he added that snow brings "out the child in all of us."
Watch the video!
