So a few days ago we were hit by the news that hoverboards are in fact illegal to ride in public in the UK -- but are the police really cracking down on the self-balancing scooters?
Well, judging by the video uploaded by British YouTube user Carnage on Thursday -- assuming none of their "social experiment" is staged, that is -- the answer seems to be no.
Hats off to the final police officer, who was so taken by the hoverboard that she even ended up having a go herself.
