The streets of Malmö, Sweden, will never be the same after this unknown copper decided to cut a few metaphorical rugs all over the cobbled streets of Sweden's third city.The Backstreet Boy in blue has become an internet sensation after throwing shapes that left onlookers staring in awe at his sheer funkiness, grooving to Swedish electronica outfit The Knife's track 'Girls' Night Out'.
But, alas, we've been informed that he isn't, in fact, a real policeman, but a member of an exhibition called 'Polis polis potatismos' (Literally: 'Police Police mashed potatoes') that was taking place in the town, named after a famous Swedish book of the same name.
Still, boy can he boogie. Seriously, look at him go. But, after investigating a little further, it seems he's not the only man in uniform willing to dance to the rhythm as our video gallery below proves...
Floyd Johnson, a member of Philadelphia's Police Department shakes it while he works.
An unknown American cop gets his groove on in a convenience store.
Rhode Island traffic cop Tony Lepore gets on down, and with a whistle too.
One Greek traffic cop also loves a little bit of MJ.

There's a traffic cop in HONOLULU, he directs in and out of the fruit canneries. Tourists go there just to watch him dance, and hear the banter. He dances much better than any of the cops in these pics.

In the 1950's in St. Louis Missouri, USA, there was a traffic cop who was so graceful,good and funky with his honest directions that he made the national news. Far better than any of these guys.

EMAIL SENT TO AOL TODAY How come I'm paying nearly 20 pounds for AOL whilst you are selling your top broad band for just 9.99 and with wireless router whereupon my connection is viva wire router. Its a total rip off and I demand to be reimbursed for all the mouths you people have been ripping me off and an explanation before I cancel your lousy service. IS ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE GETTING RIPED OFF

I can tell you why, you are paying for the cancellation fee at the same time in your 19.99 a month. I pay 9.99 but to cancel its 100 on top. One thing iv learnt in life nothing is for free, and there is alway a small bit in any contract which will have a hidden cost.

Sorry, but I would rather my taxes go to pay the police to do their job than to dance around like idiots!
