Okay, so you've got four yutes ("Youths, your honor, youths.") at the beach somewhere in L.A.

Taking their cue from Candid Camera's Allen Funt ("We thought it would be funny..."), they decided to have a little hidden camera fun with L.A.'s finest.

What I found remarkable was the attitude of the cops after realizing that they'd been had. No anger, frustration, etc. Just a really great display of their sense of humor.

However, many have commented that the prank was a terrible idea that could have wound up with the four guys in jail on a host of charges. Others think it was wrong because it could've kept the police from responding to an actual emergency.

All that may be true, but kudos anyway to the L.A. cops for handling the situation as they did.

I will not be attempting this one on my own.
