Skating towards a police state...

Fancy a pair of those newfangled motorised roller skates? Careful, you could end up being branded a potential serial killer and forced to hand over your DNA.

Police chiefs want the power to take samples from people committing even the most trivial offences.

And where the first motorised roller skates go, the first motorised roller skates breath test will surely follow.

After all, the Old Bill have already breathtested one man using a child's scooter with a strimmer engine attached and another riding a skateboard.

But you won't have to be skating under the influence to be catapulted to the top of the "Most Wanted" list. You'd be breaking the law simply by using the skates. UK Daily Mail
