Knives and the Law

[TrinbagoMan]

Perhaps the legal minds in here could answer this for me.

Is it legal to have a knife in your car?


Is it legal to have a knife with a 5 inch blade on your person?

What is the law regarding such?

Edit: I do not carry a knive on my person, but i do have one in my car.

[vin123]

I believe once its over 3 inches its supposed to be covered or in a case. That's why u see ppl traveling with cutlasses wrapped in newspaper ( i was tempted to say guardian paper lol)

[InDeForest]

Yeah, in the car, once its in a sheath or whatever type of case, its fine, even a cutlass should be in some form of case or covering, apparently any bare blade blade 'shows intent'. On your person, im not sure what the boundaries are, apparently my 3" folding keychain is fine

[evo-STI-k]

just take out a compass from a geometry set, the one with the long sharpened edge , use it wisely.
if stopped- you have a maths class. police cant touch ya

How do you surmise that from what ive written? I said, in your car. So yes you can keep your samurai sword in a case in your car.

Nope, a sword is an offensive weapon, possession of same in public can be interpreted as intention, unless for display purpose or demonstration.

[Humes]

I have a kitchen knife in the car, probably 6", with three sheets of printer paper and two rubber bands wrapped around the blade.

Hope that is adequate.

So if I have a decorative sword in it's case between the car seat/under the car seat/in the back seat..and I get stopped in a roadblock and the police see it..Can i be charged?

[rollingstock]

A decorative sword is something different, it is not sharpened and it is made of inferior steel.

But would still depend on the idiot police.

[Chimera]
