They'll jump thru the windows, shoot the clerk and say it was self defense :v:

[QUOTE=jA_cOp;47057471]Does anyone know what gives a court the right to impose such a sentence? Like what law is being applied? The article fails to mention, but I could be missing something fundamental about how Common Law works.[/QUOTE]

I've done some research and it actually is illegal according to the [url=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/42/contents]Indecent Displays (Control) Act of 1981[/url]. I expect Tesco has a policy to contact the police if a crime is committed in any of their stores.

People who do this in the UK probably don't realise they're committing an offence in the eyes of the law.
