DancingShade posted:I have a solution to this as well. You have to transport the blade to get it home in the first place right? Unless the house has an on-site forge and the owner made their own swords then clearly they've violated the law and carried a blade in public to get them home. Maybe they can allow it if the blade is locked in a safe

Want to chop up that carrot? I hope you've sufficiently developed your anal muscles to snap it off in whatever sizes you need.

If you really need something cut, take it to your local greengrocer or post-office. They will do a far better job cutting it up for you anyway.

As someone from the UK, knife crime is pretty drat common here in the big cities sadly but yea this is all pretty stupid, like no one in UK gangs is stabbing people with garden shears etc, knifes are super easy to get hold of so what would be the point? They dont confiscate stuff like shears off people though (unless they were clearly in a gang I guess), this is just stuff they've found looking through bushes etc. It's sadly because like all police forces in the world they get a quota they have to fill so these fall into it and they can get a nice pat on the back, just like how US police have their daily harass a black man quota. Though honestly if you live in a city in any country in the world, what reason do you even have to carry like a full on Rambo knife or whatever? I've lived in some really bad places in London where robberies weren't that uncommon if you ventured into the wrong estates etc but I wouldnt ever carry a knife if it was legal because all you're doing is escalating a situation that's going to end in you dead. Almost all the knife crime in this country is sadly gang on gang violence with young black males and it's a serious problem that doesn't look like it's going away. You can own at home pretty much any knife you want you just can't walk around in public with a machete down your trousers or whatever, and if it's something you need for work or it's a tool like a pen knife or whatever those are legal to carry in the UK. edit: England is definitely a nanny state, though I think the knife laws are fairly understandable given the state of things atm, but it is also a lazy way for the government to not address the root cause of the problems Just Chamber fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Jul 27, 2019 |

Seems like a lot of shrieking over nothing. Has there been any civil liberty cases filed? Asking brits.

Seems like a lot of shrieking over nothing. Has there been any civil liberty cases filed? Asking brits. Nope. Those are perfectly legal to own. All tools are fine and legal here. If you were walking down a crowded street taking a pitchfork home you just bought you might possibly get a wandering policeman asking you to like put a bag over the end or something so it's not gonna poke someone accidentally, but that's unlikely, if you were like being really suspicious lurking outside a place for ages holding one or lets be honest were black, in a group and wearing a hoodie you'd probably get a lot more grief, like asking if you just bought it and are taking it straight home etc. Some of it comes down to I think the polices discretion. So it's not illegal for you to be holding some keys, but if they arrive on the scene and you had the keys in between your knuckles well that's going to be classed as an offensive weapon and you're getting in some sort of trouble. Pretty much the majority of things you arent allowed to be carrying out in public are things you'd have no other use for but to use as a weapon. So knifes over a certain amount of inches long (4 maybe?), flick knifes or any knife that has a spring load in it that you can just press a button and have it out in a second, because the only use there is to surprise someone/ get a knife out quick in a knife fight i guess, something like a bat is legal but if you put a nail through said bat and carried that around in public you're getting busted. Again things can get classed as an offensive weapon if the police think you're intending to do something criminal with it, so you can carry a hand axe around the woods or whatever, but if you're walking down the street brandishing one on a busy high road when you could just have put it in your bag they'll stop you and question you. Pretty much any weapon is legal here to own at home though, as long as it isn't a gun. So you can have all the swords and knifes you want in your house, though if they stopped you and found a 7 inch kitchen knife in your bag while you're wandering down the street late at night you're in trouble unless you're like a chef and can prove you had to carry said knife from A to B. Not sure about any civil liberties cases so far, but I do know there's been a lot of backlash from the black community or other POC communities for the disproportionate amount of times they are stopped and searched on suspicious they might be carrying knifes etc. Again like anything whether it be drugs, gun violence, knife violence etc, the police sadly focus too hard on the tools rather than the causes.

Seems like a lot of shrieking over nothing. Has there been any civil liberty cases filed? Asking brits. Yeah he could stop you, but so long as you had a legit reason for having said items he'd just let you carry on. I've not been pulled over, but did get a housecall for something similar about 10 or so years ago. It was halloween, I was gonna go to a party as a pirate, so I headed into town to buy costume items, one of which was a plastic cutlass. I rode a motorbike at the time, and the limited space of my backpack meant that the cutlass handle was poking out the top of the bag. No big deal, it's zipped up tight around it. Off I ride, and 15 minutes later I'm home. 5 minutes after that I get a knock at the door and am greeted by two of cops.  Excuse me, are you the owner of [motorbike reg]? ...yeah And have you been riding today, recently? Er yeah, I just drove home (ohfuckIwasspeedingtheyclockedme) It's just we've had a report of something suspicious Suspicious...? Yes, carrying something suspicious. Do you have any idea what that might be? (at this point the penny drops, I retrieve the plastic cutlass and bring it to the door) Could it be this? A plastic sword... and this is for a costume I take it? Yes. Because it's halloween tomorrow. Sorry to have bothered you.I still laugh at the idea someone had that I was about to go Road Rash on the local populace.
