Taken from you yes... disposed of, no. They could just say it was all handed in for disposal
ok no worries ... ill just throw my private education and degree in the bin ;0)
you are a typical policeman.
ps. read what i quoted in my last post you are wrong.
and read what i said.
I reckon you'll be alright, if you politely pester them. If they don't give them back then I'd file a formal complaint and say that you were compliant and completely reasonable and to your knowledge within the boundaries of the law.

Oh crap - i never thought of that. They did say they would be placed in a bag marked "not for destruction" but i have no proof of this and, given the experience so far, would not expect them to stick to it. Thanks for your input (although not what i wanted to hear lol!).
Can we have more detail on the discussions and actions within the police station when you handed the items to them, and the reaction and conversation that ensued at that time.
As for that quote. Well, it's quite possibly the dumbest and most innaccurate piece of information ever. If you'd have attended your lectures, you might have heard that ignorance is no defence. I see you mention studying it, but no mention of passing it. It's quite clear based on that post - you did not.

1. Hmmm.... Re: private education and degree - that in some way elevates your views does it?
2. You assume that I don't have a private education and a degree.
3. I am not a police officer.
it would, but also show that you handed them in volintarily
here's a prediction.............
when you go back to the station, the very nice policeman will ask you into a side room.
he will then explain that in the view of the first officer you had too many knives about your person for the activity you were doing ( how many knives do you need to go camping ? )
he will then tell you these knives were handed in volintarily and have been confiscated under the offencive weapon act section........etc etc thank you for being a responsible citizen
He will then continue...In view of the fact that you handed them in volintarily, no charges will be bought however you will be cautioned under the offensive weapon act section.....etc etc etc
DO NOT EVER ACCEPT THAT CAUTION UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES !!

The heated-ness begins...I smell a locked thread coming
LOL... I'm sure the mods are watching very carefully how this develops
This is the best bit of advice given, so id thought id quote again, just in case you missed it.
Corso - i agree. Hopefully the outcome will be favourable and the officer(s) concerned will be made aware of the law (assuming i have interpreted it right)
Vulpes - I will complain officially if no other option. I wouldn't fancy their job either - can't be fun patrolling west of Scotland approaching groups in the woods. To this end i can understand their INITIAL concerns, but i'm not a ned and would have hoped they would have realised this (maybe i need to re-think my dress sense / appearance lol)

Most magistrates don't know jack about 'real life' and do not uphold the law of the land . Common law.
Busy bloke this magistrate. Dr, magistrate and tutor :screwy: just because you studied doesn't make you a good student. Just because he taught you, doesn't make him a good tutor. As for him being head honch magistrate, bet he wishes he could be a real judge.
This isn't an attack, more of a defense....against your shyte advice.
