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 Daily Drifter that she even ended up having a go herself.
