we didnt steal anything it was a disused animal research lab

My daily carry for work, in a leather holder on my belt. Cops have asked me to show it to them before but I just explain it's the main tool for my work, which it is. It's also sharpened to a razor edge.

Was it the place right next to the train station/library building? And that sucks. I see why they booked you though, got caught trespassing with a knife. No excuse really.

>>562290490
While trespassing (I presume at night), nope. You might be ok explaining that you used it for your car though to the magistrate. I mean, what vandalism/assault could you really do with a 1" box cutter.

that's a box cutter regard.

>>562291509
3 inch blade, bro. at least in most places....except i guess...if youre in buttfuck nowhere.

Here in Australia, in every state, it is illegal to carry a weapon for self defense. The police can stop you on the street and search you or your vehicle any time they please, and all they have to say is that they suspected you might in possession of narcotics or a weapon. We have no rights, not even the right to free speech. Certain things are even outright illegal to say on the basis that they might hurt the delicate feelings of the litany of usual suspects.

And if all this wasn't enough, there's a highly vocal element of the political left that is constantly clamoring - nay, BEGGING - for our rights and freedoms to be restricted EVEN FURTHER. And the worst part? Massive swathes of John and Jane Mouthbreather Public fall mindlessly into line behind them simply because they are TOLD that it's 'the right thing to do."

'Straya, cunt.

guaranteed prison in the u.k. i'd wish you luck, but if you're carrying weapons, you're almost certainly a fag.

>>562291853
Not true though. Some of the cons want mandatory custodial sentences, following a previous conviction, for someoue found in possession of a knife but it's unlikely to be passed - primarily because there aren't the prison spaces available.

>>562292434
yep even if it is a multi-tool which is legal still takes some convincing the cops. it is bullshit, i would have preferred it confiscated and a fine.

>>562288950
Thats not a knife, that is a tool. Its a multi tool with a blade on it.

>>562291608
Political left? Are ya fucken' brains scrambled or what. It's the RIGHT, the liberals, those stuffy conservatice cock smokers that are the ones trying to bring 1984 upon the populace.

I carry a medium sized hunting knife in my ute which I leave in the change tray. I have had cops ask about it but I just said I keep it in the ute for humane destruction of wildlife for when I hit a roo for example and rather than let it slowly die just go slit its throat and flick it off the road. Cops didn't give a fuck.

>>562292880
ofcourse its the right,the right winged facists

>>562289086
No, you don't. OP may be on parole or be doing something stupid like owning a butterfly or spring loaded knife, which is illegal. If it was in conjunction with another crime, which it looks like it is, it may be seen as a tool to commit the crime.

Essentially, OP was carrying a knife whilst trespassing on private property, NOT public. He was caught, and the knife could be construed as being a tool that aided him in committing the crime, or a weapon depending on how they behave (i.e. try to run, be a cunt to cops, etc..). and whether the court thinks it was to be used for violent purposes.

OP is being a bit butthurt and not being completely forthcoming with what happened.

>>562291608
That's load of shoite mate. Cops can search your person if they believe you have just been involved in a crime or are in the middle of committing a crime. you may carry a knife in public provided it poses no threat to others, and only becomes considered a weapon once you use it against another person.

Our right to free speech is not enshrined in the constitution, true, but we have never had that used against the Australian Public. Ever. no more so than America where it is enshrined and abused every single day. It's an assurance for retards.

>>562293101
Yeah some people eh. The alp are a bunch of knob faces and yes they tried to internet censorship but seriously... some people have their arse on backwards hey.

>>562288950
I would argue that you had a multi-tool with box cutter attachment and that you were carrying it in case of finding dangerously protruding nails and thereby being able to remove them, preforming a public safety service
should work so long as your not some fuckwit teenager with priors for assault

>>562292564
That is precisely the opposite attitude law enforcement ought to take. You shouldn't have to justify why something ought to be allowed or else it's banned. They should have to justify outlawing/banning/confiscating it, from you specifically. Fuck the U.K.

Seriously, I liked Monty Python and Douglas Adams and Harry Potter and Siouxsie Sioux, but fuck the UK. Fucking boot-lickers.

>>562292628
That is absurd. Your possession of the thing shouldn't even be called into question unless you've committed a crime with it.

You don't have to use it as a weapon for it to be considered one. If you have it on your person without a lawful excuse for having it on your person, you're in for a fine and maybe a court appearance.

But don't take my word for it. The information is right here for Victoria. Your state may vary.

http://www.police.vic.gov.au/content.asp?Document_ID=110

>>562293308
I think it more has to do with being a concealable weapon. The official criteria is: "a blade which opens automatically by gravity or centrifugal force or by any pressure applied to a button, spring or device in or attached to the handle of the knife."

>That is absurd. Your possession of the thing shouldn't even be called into question unless you've committed a crime with it.
Not true. If OP used that knife to get into the building then it's a tool that's been used to trespass. If he's on parole, that's another potential problem etc...

What I find astounding is the ignorance of people regarding Australian weapons laws. You can own a rifle and even a handgun if you get your licence and pass the right psychiatric checks (read: No Lanza club) and show a genuine interest in shooting, hunting, farming, pest extermination etc...

If you're just some edgy faggot who wants to own one for no real purpose outside of how cool they are, then you're shit out of luck.

_______________________________

Can I take my pocket knife to school?
No. Section 51 of the Weapons Act 1990 stipulates that “A person must not physically possess a knife in a public place or a school, unless the person has a reasonable excuse.” It is not a reasonable excuse to physically possess a knife in a public place or a school for self-defence purposes.

Can I carry a knife for work purposes?
It is a reasonable excuse to physically possess a knife to perform a lawful activity, duty or employment; to participate in a lawful entertainment, recreation or sport, for exhibiting the knife or for use for a lawful purpose. Examples as quoted in Section 51 of the Weapons Act 1990 are:

A person may carry a knife on his or her belt for performing work in primary production
A scout may carry a knife on his or her belt as part of the scout uniform
A person may carry a knife as an accessory while playing in a pipe band
A fisher may carry a knife for use while fishing
A person who collects knives may exhibit them at a fete or another public gathering
A person may use a knife to prepare or cut food at a restaurant in a public place or when having a picnic in a park; or
A person may carry a pen knife or swiss army knife for use for its normal utility purpose.

A factsheet is available providing more information on the laws relating to bladed weapons.

>we all savagely defend our masters' rights to exploit us

A clause on a piece of paper is not going to stop a government from putting me up against a wall you naive, autistic faggot. But if it makes you sleep at night, then know that Common Law enshrines Freedom of speech - and the only way that can be removed is if a referendum is called, or law is passed through both houses on a federal level.

Luckily, we live in a democracy.

>Not true
No, it is true. The idea that you can get in trouble for simple possession of an object, preempting any crime committed with it, is absurd. And I don't even know why you're bringing up trespassing. Trespassing is a crime anyway, with or without a knife on you. Kind of like how murder is a crime whether you use a gun for it or not.

>If you're just some edgy faggot who wants to own one for no real purpose outside of how cool they are, then you're shit out of luck.
Again, this mentality is idiotic. You shouldn't have to justify owning something. THEY should have to justify banning it, from you specifically.

>>562294325
You can talk shit about my government all you want and I won't defend it.

>>562293181
First time ever in trouble with police. I made it clear the them that I was using it to fox my car and intended to place it in my car but had a lapse in concentration. They said 3 or 4 times that the metal torches could be classes as breaking and entering tools. We never ran from cops as such, we heard an alarm and left and didn't realize the cops were on the way so there is no problems with them there. We tried to be as co operative as we could with the cops so that we wouldn't be in more shit. I own a griptillian but I don't carry that with me. >>562293485
I was very clear to the cops when they asked us to empty out pockets that I had it on me.
>>562294003
Oath mate.
>>562294123

>>562294252
>A person may carry a pen knife or swiss army knife for use for its normal utility purpose.
I think this is a viable defense. The reason I had it on me was because I used it for its utility purpose.

>>562295116
Knives have more reasons justifying possession of them than self-defense. Anybody who actually carries a multitool or knife can attest to how often it comes in handy.

And you're an idiot if you think that being tough and musclebound is going to protect you from a knife. The whole "weapons are for pussies" mentality just baffles me in its underlying stupidity.

As I was clearly drunk and they found the first weapon I was holding they just thought I was out to cause trouble forgot to state it was around 2am. In the case you are in I can't find a problem

>>562295039
Conspiracy to commit a crime is very real, and owning weapon can be seen as holding intent. Granted, you need more evidence indicating that you were going to use it to commit crime X.

In OP's case, it's bullshit, but they may be taking the stance that he used the knife to lift some screws from a door, vandalise property etc... I'm not agreeing with them, but that's probably what they are pushing.

>>562295323
Yeah, sounds like you just got hit by some dickhead cops. It happens. Hopefully the courts will see through that and drop it or make you pay $100 or something.

Magistrates are generally decent people and deal with offenders a lot worse than you on a daily basis. Be polite, dress modestly and observe formalities - and don't be a pick to the police. You should be fine, or have to pay something like $100 which is a far sight better than taking the matter further.

>>562292880
>>562293101
I have about as much love for the Liberals and their cronies as I do most political parties. Perhaps because I said I don't like the political left in this country you immediately assumed that I was a right-wing Liberal party supporter, as though a person can only be one thing or the other.

>>562295757
Yeah that's my plan. I see no point being a dick too much effort for no gain. Yeah the cop who handed me the notice had been told to by a cop that was a much bigger dick. At one point there were 12 cops for 4 people all 18 and under.

>>562295757
Absurd. On its own, the object itself means nothing. I can commit murder as easily with apple seeds, oleander, a brick, a car, fishing wire, fly strips, or fucking matches as easily as I could with a knife or gun. They might as well ban those.

Actually the states are forbidden from having armed forces.
So cops carry guns under their common law right to be armed for self defense.In NSW they are exempted from the Firearms Act 1996 while on duty.
So there is no clause saying they can carry a gun, constitutionally there can't be.
They are simply allowed to exercise a common law right that is forbidden to all other.

>>562294025

Implying this doesn't happen all the time with your crazed cops there. Just reading a criminology book where ted bundy got arrested for having a hammer, tire iron and ski mask in his car when he wasn't even suspected, and they're all TOOLS right?

>Knives ARE tools. Guns are tools.

Now comes the autism. Yes I know the fucking definition of tool and won't debate it with you. But what law enforcement means is it considers a tool to be something that has a function other
Than being a weapon.

Handguns and Assault rifles are weapons because their sole purpose is to kill. Try arguing with a judge that it's a 'tool'

Knives are used just as often as tools with legitimate purposes however, and can only double as weapons. And yeah, butterfly it's mostly reputation, but also because switchblades and balisongs are generally used as weapons and not tools like a folder is.

>Implying this doesn't happen all the time with your crazed cops there.
Our cops are, in fact, crazy and prone to overreach. I don't support it. As for the Ted Bundy example (and I'll admit I'm not familiar with the case), I could understand how those objects, put together, could be interpreted as "intent" to commit a crime, but even then, if no actual crime can be proven to be committed, then even those objects put together shouldn't be grounds to get somebody in trouble.

>Handguns and Assault rifles are weapons because their sole purpose is to kill.
So?

Give it ten years and your granddad's bolt-action .22 is going to be a "High-Powered Military-Style Sniper Rifle."

Get a fucking lawyer.
Technically you're fucked because it's a knife and we can be charged for having anything that could be potentially used as a weapon. A carrot could get you charged if the cop felt like writing it up.

There's a decent chance that a lawyer could make it go away though. It's legitimately a tool, you might find a lawful reason to be carrying it, the cops might not show up to court, the prosecutor might accept a plea to make their day easier (actually they definitely will, it's getting a plea that you can live with that is the hard part), anything could happen.
Get a lawyer. It's a bargain compared to what they can save you from.

Beg or borrow the $2k or so for a lawyer and get it done.

No but in this country if you wave it around, you can be. You could be done with permanent sex offender registration for waving a dick around in public, if the prosecutor wanted to.

Police and prosecutors are predators, they hunt human beings and are rewarded for convicting them. They don't really care what you did or even if you did something, it's just about whether they can get a conviction.
If you get in their sights, you're prey.

>>562288950

>>562297676
I only said that because you seemed to be claiming all guns can be described as 'tools' in the eyes of the law, which they can't.

It's not untrue. Switchblades are still banned in the U.S because of their adoption by criminals. Balisongs are banned more due to Hollywood, but still. The primary advantage of both those knives is rapid deployment and concealment, neither are attributes needed when using a knife as a legitimate tool. Hence they are weapons. The butterfly knives originated as self defense for native Filipinos for fucks sake.

>>562300527

The High Court would very quickly extrapolate an Airforce to be a division of the army or navy, in the same way they allowed federal regulation of TV as telegraphy.

Remember, Federal Judges are appointed by Federal politicians. They will be in favour of federal power.

Hell, in one of the very first High Court cases, they said in dicta that if the Commonwealth wanted to ban guns they could tax them out of reach of people, even though they had no delegated power to regulate guns.

Good idea. Here in NSW a prior conviction for a knife means you are banned from every holding a firearms license. It can also close off a _lot_ of jobs that require you to have a clean criminal history.
Get the magistrate to rule the case proved but no conviction recorded sounds about the best you can do at the moment.

There is a technical term for a person who represents themselves in court, and that is 'Idiot'.
Smart lawyers if charged with a criminal offense will hire another lawyer to represent them and keep their own mouth shut in court.

Switchblades are banned in the states because of moral panics in the 1950s about greasers carrying switch blades. Basically made up shit, as usual, to sell newspapers and elect politicians.
In the 1970s it was the evil Carnies. that played the part of the evil other in movies and horror novels. That worked a treat. How many small circuses are left?
There is some hope though. Some states are starting to review their switchblade laws. IIRC Kentucky just repealed theirs.

>>562288950
Say you use it for opening boxes at work if it's got a blade like that it's a valid argument.

>>562302902
Griptilian is definitely a better knife, the 770 just does not have a thick enough blade, and the mechanism is not quite as smooth because it's smaller than the rest of the axis locks. The grip is also a pain in the ass, because the little ridge near the top of the handle just digs into your finger, while the whole grip can only fit 2-3 fingers on it.

Uninvited black guy trying to get into my sisters bedroom at 3AM. I'm not sure if he ran because of my Austrian Nerf Gun (TM). Or because I was stark naked and glow in the dark fish belly white when I came down the hallway at him.

Don't listen to this crap. BrisVegasfag here.

I know the laws because I brought home some (legal) knives from Korea.

Basically you're fucked on a couple of accounts. Firstly, you can open the blade with one hand or inertia, and secondly it looks like it might lock open.

Ignorance is not a defence, and the knife is clearly in violation. Best you can do is lawyer up and plead mercy on a clean record.
