Normal Middlesbrough citizen gets caught trying to assasinate PM with a sword. - Polidicks

[quote] Middlesbrough man found with cache of weapons said he was on his way to kill the Prime Minister Police found a cache of weapons including a 950,000 volt stun gun in the car of a man who said he was on his way to kill the Prime Minister, a court has heard. Irfaq Naz, 34, also had hammers, kitchen knives, a machete, an unsheathed Samurai sword and masking tape in his Vauxhall Astra when he was stopped in July after going the wrong way down a north London street. Officers later searched his home in Middlesbrough and found the Downing Street postcode and the names of other prominent political figures. The taxi driver was detained under the Mental Health Act, and last month admitted possessing a prohibited weapon, three counts of possessing an offensive weapon, seven counts of having a bladed article and dangerous driving.

It was obviously the masking tape that set off alarms.

[QUOTE=KennyAwsum;42873642]It was obviously the masking tape that set off alarms.[/QUOTE] are you sure?

he probably has some kind of mental illness. Couldn't hurt to get him checked out.

Typical day in 'Boro.

It could only be a Corsa

Well it's not like the PM isn't accustomed to Cuts.

[QUOTE=PredGD;42873650]are you sure?[/QUOTE] I mean they wouldn't have mentioned it if it wasn't serious. Obviously the Masking Tape was intricate to the planning.

[quote]The taxi driver was detained under the Mental Health Act, and last month admitted possessing a prohibited weapon, three counts of possessing an offensive weapon, seven counts of having a bladed article and dangerous driving.[/quote] I'm pretty sure you're only supposed to get charged with possession of an offensive weapon if you're welding a baseball-bat sized purple dildo.

Nor to put too fine a point on it, but he's not the sharpest dagger in the armory, izzhe?

Lots of people want Cameron gone, think this isa tad extreme though :P

At least he was apprehended by the cops. If he'd been found out by random people, they might've taught him that vigilante justice is a double-edged sword that cuts both ways. That's the price you pay when you're living on the razor's edge. Real sharp, buddy. Okay, this is getting dull, I know, I'll stop. I'm sorry. :v: [B]Edited:[/B] I'm sorry, I found one more. If he'd been apprehended by the crowd, they'd have pommeled him senseless. In prison he's gonna feel it to the hilt. Okay I'll stop for real. ... Just look out for the clashing of swords in the prison showers. :v:

Uhm, what the fuck? 950kV stun gun? That's capable of arcing over 30cm through the air. How is that feasible without it arcing to your hand?

In certain older civilised cultures when men failed as entirely as David Cameron has they would throw themselves on their sword. This man was simply lending the PM a sword to fall on.

I would have really loved to see this, if only they caught it on TAPE.

[QUOTE=rhx123;42873672]It could only be a Corsa[/QUOTE] It was an Astra

Lived in middlesbrough just over a month and this already doesn't surprise me

So criminal justice act 1988 reads as follows for determining a bladed article: [quote]Section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 prohibits having with you, in a public place of any article which has a blade or is sharply pointed, (including a folding pocket knife if the cutting edge of its blade exceeds 7.62cm/3 inches) (Archbold 24-125).[/quote] Assuming that you can be driving your car, with the items in it, and get arrested for it, that means you literally can't buy kitchen knives at the store and drive home with them. It makes ownership of something as simple as a sword illegal. I knew the UK was strict on the matter, but seriously what the fuck. There are stipulations to the law: [quote]Defence The defendant is entitled to be acquitted if he shows on the balance of probabilities that: he had "good reason or lawful authority" for having the bladed or pointed article; or he had the article for use at work; or he had the article for religious reasons; or he had the article as part of a national costume; (Archbold 24-125).[/quote] However they aren't exceptions, they are legal defenses. As in you are still arrested and then have to prove your innocence to the police in a fashion similar to homicide in self defense.
