    With a bit more self-awareness, Bray could have avoided contact with us completely.”

    With a shred of brain matter, Sgt Spellman and the bastards he works with, could have not pursued such a ridiculous “crime”.

          True, I’d still give them partial credit for the dumb statement.

          Law says you can’t carry a knife bigger than 3 in. He carries a knife twice that size.

          Does he carry concealed in his pocket?

          No, He’s walking around carrying it openly pretending he’s a blade master, oh sorry that’s he claims it’s a fidget toy.

          4 months in jail seems a bit excessive, but when the law says don’t carry a weapon and you carry a weapon…
