Sofia Mayor: Knife in Hand Means Arrest

Totally agree - as far as I understand, one can only carry a gun for self protection.

Sofia Mayor could be compaired with Muanmmar Quathafi,the Great,Great Brother,Leather of the Great,GREAT Revolutionary Jamahiriya.

He banned catying knifes in Libya after a peasent killed another peasant over a fight about ship pasturing.

The ship of the victim was grasing(whitout his permission) on the fiels of the neighbor peasant.

The Quathafi's logic was:"If the murderer did not have a knife in his hand,
he would NOT have had stabbed the victim and the CRIME of MANSLAUGHTER

would NOT have been commited.!"
In my opinion to restrict citizens of carrying knifes,stones,basball clubs,forks a.s.o.

violates the right of security of his/hers person.

Arresting a person ONLY under the fact he/she is carrying a knife is violation of Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights...arbitrary and unlawful detention.
The Rules of Criminal Procedure require that a suspect had taken all necessary action to comit a crime...then his arrest is lawful.

Sorry,I ought to write "sheep".
