Comment on Man carrying home his gardening tools arrested by armed police in Manchester
stickly@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoSo what I’m hearing is if you want to commit a violent crime just wear a hard hat/hi-vis vest and say you’re going to hammer things at work? Or put on a funny chef hat and walk around freely with your knives? Seems like the regulation only exists as fig leaf for minority profiling and harassing young people.

Or just grab a knife, put it in your bag and don’t get caught. The police will only find out if they randomly stop and search you, which I think is probably a sub 1% chance, especially if you’re a well dressed white briton.
