from bbc, 14 January 2010: “Police officers filmed using riot shields to sledge down a snowy hill while on duty have been reprimanded. The footage of a group of officers on Boars Hill, Oxford, was taken by Rick Latham on Tuesday. He posted it on the file-sharing website YouTube. Supt Murray added: “I have spoken to the officers concerned and 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.” more
