whatever that happends to be I will still pack a replacement on the next trip
he says he w2ill be replacing it to pack into his camping gear next time he goes. from what he has said before it doesn't look like he intentionally went out with the intent of using it as an offensive weapon, just happened to leave it in the door card.a piddly 7" knife.
I've had a Victorinox (Swiss army) Champ and a Leatherman Supertool on my belt for the best part of 17 years. Never caught any grief over them. I've asked several plo... policepersons if they are alright to have, but all have said its OK.You have a Champ on your belt....Are they not a tad heavy.....

That indicates to me they was angling for a conviction right from the word go.
Was found not guilty today. The exact words was "We have looked at the style of vhecle and genuinely believe you are not guilty and contact the police station to claim your knife back. you are free to go"How embaricing got a parking ticket as they was about to lookover the disco. hahaaa :dance:
the police are making it very difficult for me to claim it back, been there 4 times now
surely that is a 'fantasy' blade, maybe the WPC you spoke to was actually the taste police in disguise, did it come with a official star trek Klingon dictionary?
