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.
I assumed this was Singapore until reading the article and found out it’s in England? What the hell
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.
Oh man, poor guy. He was just a nerd that thought a little Zelda toy would be a fun fidgit.
Actual knives are fun fidgets as well until your friend flips out cause you’re pickin’ at an eye booger with it.
Other sites (Forbes, so, eh) are reporting that he’s a bit of a frequent flyer with the cops and has consistent arrests for burglary going back to the 90s.
Still, very silly place.
I’m gonna hold judgement until I can make out that neck tattoo.
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
Four months of his life for this. Fuck pigs.
