Councils excepted. And that is what I thought *before* I opened that link.

But yet again it's the media making a mountain out of a mole hill. The playgrounds are enclosed and supervised not not the open public swings and roundabouts in the local park which is the impression the headline and opening para gives.

Oh FFS.

Bloody judge must have been on crack. I hope this gets the treatment it deserves at appeal.

There's quite a suspicion that the story isn't quite as simple as made out. If you found a gun in your garden would you phone the Chief Superintendent, tell him you'll 'pop in and see him' and NOT tell him what it's about?

Indeed, while its easy to be outraged at the injustice of it as presented, there are bits that don't quite add up. Like why take it personally with explaining at least what you planned in advance, why wait a day etc.

Still I suppose in the same situation at least one knows to be a little cautions about how one discloses such a find. An anonymous call first to check the state of play before risking incriminating oneself.
