big feet 324 Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 The rat got ten year for manslaughter, but he was only carrying a penknife and claimed he used it in defence, that makes it alright then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’d of thought what he had in his glove compartment was what every responsible driver would have, but no, the police wanted a “collar” and got one ! It would be the same if some vindictive farmer or keeper called the police and accused me of poaching, but when I proved I was not they would search me and find my opinel knife and make a case of that. The gentleman with the Swiss Army knife will go down as a statistic in the “war on knives” but not prevent one stabbing….. Cheers. but if the comment at the bottom of the article is true then all is not as it seems Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He should have sued for malicious prosecution. The Police's only interest is to gain a prosecution. Not in the administration of justice or common sense. The cop who reported the bloke for being in possession of a knife should have been dismissed for gross misconduct. Complete clown.And also a bad egg who diminishes the public's trust in the police.

greg64 2,799 Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 (edited) This article is FAKE news! The knife in question was NOT a simple 'swiss army' penknife, as claimed here, but actually a BUCK X-Tractor Multi-tool, which has a 3" (LEGAL), serrated LOCKING (ILLEGAL) blade. - Which this article is completely overlooking. The fact he pleaded guilty, meant that certain details pertaining to his behaviour that led to his car being searched, were no presented in court. Namely that the Defendant had made verbal threats that involved the use of a knife, earlier on whilst in the pub. The police searched his car after acting on this information. that was the comment not my quote Edited September 28 by greg64 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As I said, there's a difference between carrying a knife with the intention to cause harm and for innocent tasks. Of course nobody should get arrested if they have done nothing wrong. How often do folk innocently carry fcuking knives in city centres, if you do you are in the minority. Of course everything has to be within reason, arresting everyone isn't going to work, but harsher sentences for knife crime in general is a no brainer. And if you're of the thought that the police have no right to stop & search you, that's fair enough, but don't cry when knife crime rates don't improve, you all can't have it both ways. What harsher sentences do you suggest ?……we have life for Murder…..and they still don’t give a shit ? So come on, what harsher things are there ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 46,485 Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 2 hours ago, big feet said: Yes, I want a blanket ten for people carrying with intent but seeing as that is basically impossible to police then it's just wishful thinking on my part. But here's the thing, if you knew the implications of carrying your precious knife wherever you go, that knife would be kept at home, I know you might get upset, kick the cat and vent on here, but the knife would stay on the barge rather than risk ten year. Lol But, if you don't think we should have more restrictions, harsher sentences, etc, fine, but stop posting boring news about it when someone is stabbed, that ain't going to change a damn thing is it William Wallace? Lol What about hammers & garden tools ? Ten years for those as well ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How do you “fully retract” a claw hammer ? Lol Your point, whatever it is, is so simplistic and childish as to be frankly hilarious……it’s the type of logic you see old Doris’s spouting everyday. Talking about how everyone should buy an umbrella and not bothering to look out the window and see it’s a f***ing hurricane ! Lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's still not sinking in is it, we already have knife laws, the law states a blade must not exceed 3 inches and must not be able to lock, if it does and it can you get punished, simple isn't it? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
