Well that was interesting, earlier on I took some recycling out to the bin only to be accosted by an off duty copper, he showed his warrant card etc and i took the details on the back of my hand as I had a pen behind my ear at the time
The reason for this?
Said numpty has spotted the multitool on my belt and tried to give me a warning about carrying an "offensive weapon" i soon put a stop to that by quoting the law at him and telling him to do one as its a perfectly legal carry
He then tried to say it must be a locking blade so illegal without excuse and asked me to hand it over which i refused explaining that it does not lock and i wasn't getting a blade out in the street for him or anyone, again quoting knife law as well as including stop and search laws to the best of my ability
Now this complete tosser was in a mess and googling the law on his phone while getting more and more unhappy as time went on, just to take the piss i invited him in for a coffee and told him i would be happy to show him many more legal blades, he declined and did one but i expect a knock at the door sometime soon, quite looking forward to that if i am honest
