Guy walking through the city centre with an imitation gun and noone takes notice :P Video shows the moment he gets tackled by the cop.

sheesh, they're all driving on the wrong side of the road

Pretty funny how he walks around for that long, and by so many people who seem not to notice at all.

I don't know if I'm just totally ignorant or not but, are there a lot of weapons and/or weapon related crimes in the UK? Seem to see all the bobby's using billy clubs.

There are armed officers, but they only come out when they are called out, all other officers carry batons and some may have tasers.

I am surprised a normal officer was sent in first, but the look on the kids face is priceless "Why's this copper coming at me, oh ****!"

Problem in the UK is that there is a lot of crime, esp now with the cut in police budgets, but the justice system is a joke as well, if you are a repeat offender, the courts dont care they'll just tag you and let you go; but then even if you break your curfew they dont respond to it, so what is the point.
Officers also dont want to arrest people for crimes where they know the criminal will get off free, why bother doing all the required paperwork for nothing.
However if you are a first time offender, look out! They'll throw the book at you along with the kitchen sink to make an example out of you to show the law abiding citizens that they are locking away the least dangerous people but letting the most dangerous ones loose. :P

i once got arrested for carrying 2 swords in the jewellery section of argos. it wasnt my fault that the secondhand shop i got them from was next door to the damn place :/

at least the police came in laughing and gave me them back after i was bailed.

it wasnt until afterwards i realised what the gen public must've thought LOL
