So when I go on det now my assualt rifle is legal, but the gerber and bayonet on my webbing isn't? Looks like a good Police officer could make a years worth of positive stats just by sitting outside Brize!

redhand:
Bit of a storm in a teacup over nothing really. All it says is that they are lowering the age at which they would normally prosecute, from 18 to 16. Nothing else has changed.

beast5680:
on the subject of knives i went to a couple of local car boot sales at the weekend and the amount of knives on sale there was astounding everything from kitchen knives to a samurai sword :shock: and the people there would sell to anyone with the right change regardless of age

carbore:
I agree that car bots are a ratherinteresting, for example im fairly sure that samurai swards were outlawed the other week. Sale of someitems seems to depend on the council, one I used to go to wouldnt let you sell anything electrical.

Re age change its not the main issue, its the automatic prosecution without aggravating factors.

But that's not what's been said.

"The change follows a meeting between Gordon Brown, police and legal chiefs, to extend the "presumption of prosecution" in knife cases.
Previous police guidance was to prosecute adults caught with a knife, but to caution those under 18. "
"Previously, the "presumption of prosecution" had applied only to those aged over 18 who carry a knife without good reason. "
