A regular London police officer whose photo, taken at a demonstration, went viral over the weekend because of his hipster beard and handlebar moustache has prompted people to tweet about “crimes” hipsters commit that Hipster Cop should promptly investigate.

Unfortunately, however, it seems that he's not a hipster at all, but actually a biker who likes to read fantasy novels and listen to Meatloaf in a non-ironic way.

To help you get over your disappointment, here are some classic hipster crimes.
