Despite admitting that the [tiny toy] Master Sword could be perceived as threatening if someone else saw it, Bray insisted during his interview that he would not have used it as a weapon, the police said.

Don’t admit that, no reasonable person could possibly perceive that thing as threatening.

He probably assumed he’d just be asked to put it away, as would be fairly reasonable. But yeah, only say ‘lawyer’. Also, for.my Canadian homes, unlike America where exercising your right to remain silent ends the interrogation, here you do need to genuinely practice it. They can still legally hold you and question you as long as they want and legally it’s up to you to stay silent, and they’ll.use that to.their advantage and keep you in questioning for as long as possible. Know that’s part of.the Canada cop game and the other is leaving you in the middle of nowhere in the dead of winter. Best of luck

That doesn’t work in the uk. They don’t have rights the way civilized countries do. Their legal system is fucking bizarre.

Ridiculous island. Oh you’re neurospicy? We"re going to put you in a cage now.

The fact you cannot legally carry a small knife, which this is not, is equally absurd.

Warwickshire Police spotted Bray on June 8 via CCTV walking down the street with something in his hand.

They are lterally using their panopticon to find someone who was behaving in a slightly divergent way in public and not bothering anyone at all.

England is one of the world’s more repressive regimes. The rights of citizens are mostly norms rather than enforcable laws, it has some of the most pervasive and invasive surveillance in the world, and the cops have a wide variety of “because I said so” laws that can be used to crush speech, dissent, and to imprison or control people without what you’d think of as “due process” in civilized nations.

To be fair it’s weird in the USA where you might have states were open or concealed carry is completely legal but things like swords or knuckle-dusters are a crime to carry in public.

Yeah I believe they were all banned related to various racial and national groups. Like knuckle dusters initially for Italians and now a perception around Black people. Nun chucks etc for the various Asian diasporas.

Which state is it where the only thing preventing you from open carrying a tank cannon is your ability to physically carry it?

permalink

parent

I think a lot of them because most cannon are smooth bore and black powder which in many state aren’t even considered a firearm. So yeah you could have a swivel gun from a ship under your trench coat.

Heavy ordnance in many jurisdictions isn’t regulated differently than small arms in most states if you have teh right paperwork.

Legality of arms in the us is basically just “how white coded is this weapon?” The more strongly weapons are associated with minorities the less legal they are.
