arrested for a fishingknife

Onan The Barbarian:
Not having a go, Stretchy, but... you still haven't said why you were stopped and searched in the first place.

It seems that most people are aware (or should be by now) that it's against the law to carry a knife with a blade over 3" for any reason other than previously stated (work, etc.), so to carry a knife with a 7" blade seems to be rather foolish.

And to publicly state that you'll be replacing it seems to indicate you've not learned anything from the experience... especially when the police have already told you they will be looking at your posts here! :shock:

squaddie_fox:
he says he w2ill be replacing it to pack into his camping gear next time he goes. from what he has said before it doesn't look like he intentionally went out with the intent of using it as an offensive weapon, just happened to leave it in the door card.

still, what did you get stopped for?

i carry a big toolbox, axle stands, trolley jack, big bars, a high lift, a cordless drill and an angle grinder amongst other things. and have done in all my land rovers. come in handy alot when i break something, which is inevitable, or someone else break something.
i also carry axes and woodsaws etc. could do a hell of a lot more damage than with a piddly 7" knife.

when im at work i have a foot long machete, a long handle axe, a big bowsaw plus many other 'weapons' but its ok for me to carry them as im working. oh, and i carry a little hunting knife in my pocket for cutting cordage etc.

hmm, you have an odd idea of a piddly knife...
7" :shock: thats not piddly!!
still, what was the reason for getting stopped?

stretchy:

Im not sure what time it was now it was around 10 or 11 at night Id been at a pals for a few hours after work and he knew I was going to the tip in the morning so piled some more stuf on the trailer and set home. I think they just wanted to ask what I was up to but as soon as she opend the door she seen the sheath of the knife amongst some gloves and stuf in the poket. as I said like alot of you ther was other 'ofensive wepons' in my car at the time but they chose this becase it looks the most meniceing and will get some stripes when they hand it in down the station. im not against the old politzia in anyway at least we know they are doing there job but as someone said erlier althow this is not the case our vhicles should be private property and aslong as we can legaly buy the itiems keep them in our cars. why is it ok for me to drive home with that blade with a recept but on another acasion be deemed a criminal?

Alot of you are asking why have that with you, althogh I wasent sure it was still ther but I would normaly carry it to have it when needed rather need it and not have it, im sure alot of you can relate to that with your saws, axes, pen knifes, machetie's and other ''ofensive wepons''

UKJeeper:
I've had a Victorinox (Swiss army) Champ and a Leatherman Supertool on my belt for the best part of 17 years. Never caught any grief over them. I've asked several plo... policepersons if they are alright to have, but all have said its OK.
