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.
Right against self incrimination is more or less literally a right not to be tortured. Like it slightly disincentizes the pigs not to hurt you until you confess if there's a legal norm that you're not expected to confess.
Straight up, no bull; in my "why i come in to my power" confessions will not be admittable as evidence without corroborating physical evidence of some kind. You can use a confession to support other, existing evidence, but a confession alone ain't worth shit.
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
That doesn't work in the uk. They don't have rights the way civilized countries do. Their legal system is fucking bizarre.
To be fair it's weird in the USA where you might have states were open or concealed carry is completely legal but things like swords or knuckle-dusters are a crime to carry in public.
Legality of arms in the us is basically just "how white coded is this weapon?" The more strongly weapons are associated with minorities the less legal they are.
It's because I want a gun to defend against urban youth with knuckle dusters.
Yeah I believe they were all banned related to various racial and national groups. Like knuckle dusters initially for Italians and now a perception around Black people. Nun chucks etc for the various Asian diasporas.
Yeah, all the kung-fu movie weapons - nunchucks, ninja stars, butterfly knives, were banned in the 80s because boomers saw some action movies and were like "woah a new way for me to be racist!"
Which state is it where the only thing preventing you from open carrying a tank cannon is your ability to physically carry it?
Heavy ordnance in many jurisdictions isn't regulated differently than small arms in most states if you have teh right paperwork.
I think a lot of them because most cannon are smooth bore and black powder which in many state aren't even considered a firearm. So yeah you could have a swivel gun from a ship under your trench coat.
If the US was serious about "preventing tyranny" with the second amendment, it would give everyone AAA or AT missiles and launchers
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.
Warwickshire Police spotted Bray on June 8 via CCTV walking down the street with something in his hand.
They are lterally using their panopticon to find someone who was behaving in a slightly divergent way in public and not bothering anyone at all.
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.
Having interests in anything other than rugby or Prosecco is illegal in England
If this happened to me it'd break my brain and i'd probably spend the rest of my life trying to murder the people who did this to me
Oh man, poor guy. He was just a nerd that thought a little Zelda toy would be a fun fidgit.
There are so many posts from British cops where they'll arrest some hot couch guy weed dealer with a collection of replica swords and act (and sentence) like he was regularly going out and shanking people with them, this country desperately needs justice for sword nerds.
Actual knives are fun fidgets as well until your friend flips out cause you're pickin' at an eye booger with it.
People, specifically people from places where the regime imposes absurd absolutist weapon laws, get fucking weird about a piece of metal primarily used for open boxes, cutting fruit, and cleaning your nails.
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.

It's going to be a maze when it's finished!
The moblins caught him while his sword was recharging, nothing he could do.
Look, if you go around showing people your 6-inch master sword in public then you'll go to jail. That's how my uncle ended up on the registry.
Becca Wilks was saying on a recent Trash Future about how both the Tories and Labour seem committed to imprisoning heaps of people on short sentences just to fill their prisons.
Which is wild because British prisons are already so full they're having to put prisoners up in temporary huts and there's a proposal to send them to do their time in Estonia
Yeah they talked about that. Apparently Labour's plan to fix Prison Overcrowding is to build more prisons. Finally some big infrastructure spending...for prisons.
Bray was sentenced on June 28 and given a four month prison sentence as well as an order to pay a victims’ surcharge of £154 (approx $195).
Victim? Who is the victim here?
I saw them at the "punk flea market" here, pretty sure the vendor got them from aliexpress.
Yup, there's shitton of small game weapons replicas on Ali, usually comes with a keychain.
OI! YOU GOT A LOICENSE FOR THAT LETTER OPENER M8???
