What an enormous cluster-f**k. A beautiful message to send out to the public.

just another case that proves the law is an ass tbh.
however this is the worst bit of defence i've heard... "You could be walking to a railway station on the way to work and find a firearm in a bin in the park. "Is it unreasonable to take it to the police station?" Yes it is unreasonable to taint possible fingerprints, walk about with a possibly loaded and cocked firearm and then plop it on the desk of a senior copper. Fair enough in this case the guy was a soldier and someone who is familiar with small arms so he could do it safely...but why he didnt advise the senior cop he made an appointment with of what he had found and what he planned to do with it is beyond me. i expect your average member of the public to find a gun, LEAVE IT WELL ALONE and call the cops. I really, really wouldnt want some numpty carrying a loaded firearm in a bin bag about the streets tbh. The jury in this case had no option to find him guilty if that is the law but the desk sargent should never have charged him and CPS should have throw it out too. What a waste of time and money to charge this guy.

I reckon there's more to it we don't know (what the nature of his conversation with the police prior to coming to the police station was in particular) but nevertheless unless he burst into the police station waving the gun around shouting 'DERKA DERKA! DIE PIGS!' throwing him into prison is a step too far.

He should have checked if they were having a gun amnesty - if not, keep it until they are, or wipe hs prints off & throw it back over the fence

That made me chuckle last time they had an amnesty; head piggy sat there looking really smug with this big display of firearms handed in... what's at the top of the board, an old break-barrel air rifle!

I think what spidey says, fair enough he didn't know it was a gun until he looked in the bag (I found a dead dog like that once
![]() Although it sounds like you should call a solicitor rather than the police f you find a gun. |
