Ministry of Silly Law Enforcement

Having solved all problems relating to actual crime in West Midlands, the police have begun looking after more pressing matters.

For example, the Daily Mail recently reported on three 12-year-olds who were arrested, DNA tested, interrogated and incarcerated for two hours... for climbing a cherry tree.

Meanwhile, the BBC notes that playing too much hopscotch will also get you a visit from the local authorities.

We need one more for the hat trick / trifecta, so... what else should English children be set upon for by the police?
