    We actually have a law against carrying knives in public as well - we were smart enough to write in a provision for knives used or carried to and from 'legitimate' purposes though.

    I imagine the Court's argument was that he should have had it in a toolbox which considering the amount of knife crime in the U.K isn't all that unreasonable.

    You can carry a damn machete in the U.K if it has a legitimate purpose. However having a knife for work is only legit if you are carrying too/from/during work. You can't just have it all the time even if it has a legit purpose. Also he is a dumbass, had he been carrying a normal Stanley knife not a lock knife it would have been fine, they work exactly the same way.

    The article didn't say one way or the other whether he was carrying it to/from/during work. I mean, one could assume that he wouldn't have been fined if he was, but...

    It says he was fined for carrying a knife that he uses for work. If he was using it at work or going too or from work he would not have been fined because he would not have been breaking the law. The knife was returned because it had a legitimate purpose. He was fined because he did not have a legitimate reason for carrying it when he was stopped.

    It only sounds ridiculous if you don't actually read it properly.

    Who gives a shit why he was carrying it around? Should you be fined for carrying a water bottle without a legitimate purpose because dipshits like to use them to spray acid on peoples faces?
