The advent of mobile phones that can take photographs and videos can sometimes be a perishing nuisance since they record things that are trivial as well as those that are important.
Take, for example, the man who filmed a couple of police officers having a bit of harmless fun by sledging down a snow-covered hill in Oxford on their riot shields. This fellow then posted his video on YouTube with the result that over 20,000 people viewed this inoffensive diversion [over 160,000 as at 17 January].
Then, inevitably, the officers were identified and spoken to by their area commander who ‘reminded them in no uncertain terms that tobogganing on duty, on police equipment and at taxpayers' expense is a very bad idea should they wish to progress under my command.’
Do us a favour! I’d rather see coppers using their riot shields as sledges than applying them in riots!
