i love how in the British legal system you get charged with completely unrelated crimes. Man goes stark naked on top of a monument in a very public place and fets charged with posession of an offensive weapon.

what next.. man robs a store and gets charged for littering as he drops the loot as he makes he run.

In order to be considered an offensive weapon, the article must come within one of the following three categories:

1. An offensive weapon per se (The following have been held to be offensive weapons per se: a machete, a sword, a flick knife, a truncheon, etc. Part of the reason that these have been so categorised is because they do not per se have any innocent quality. However a lock knife, ordinary razor, penknife have been held not to be offensive weapons per se, because they do have an innocent purpose)
2. Something adapted to cause injury (for example a bottle that has been deliberately broken, a potato with a razor blade inserted into it, an unscrewed pool cue, etc).
3. Something that is not offensive per se, or adapted, but is intended to be used for the purpose of causing injury (for example, a work hammer, a stone etc).

You don't know what he had up there with him. Apart from the obvious
Good Luck..Quo Vadis..Frank

Blimey thats a painfull place to put a razor blade.

I actually remember reading about that in a 19*0s police handbook. Not sure when, but it was pretty early, around 1940 maybe.

Found a link actually.
