Man Sentenced to Four Months in Prison for Carrying a 6-Inch Master Sword in Public
A man was sentenced to four months in prison for carrying a six-inch Master Sword from The Legend of Zelda series in public.
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.
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.
Four months of his life for this. Fuck pigs.
The OG Link did 7 years
The pigs in question:
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.
OI! YOU GOT A LOICENSE FOR THAT LETTER OPENER M8???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
Meanwhile open carry in Burgerland:
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.
Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®
If the US was serious about "preventing tyranny" with the second amendment, it would give everyone AAA or AT missiles and launchers
Oi mate you got a loicense for that knoife
Oh man, poor guy. He was just a nerd that thought a little Zelda toy would be a fun fidgit.
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.
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.
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
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!
They were scared cause it's the blade of evil's bane
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
damn that's cool i want one
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.
That's a letter opener
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?

Never ever concede points to cops, or talk to them at all
