Klingon Bat’leth confiscated by Police as ‘Deadly Weapon’
July 12th, 2006
Police confiscated a Klingon Bat’leth in a raid on a house in Gloucestershire. It was subsequently used by them to promote the nationwide knife amnesty that was taking place in the UK last month.
Is it REALLY possible that not a single police officer in Gloucestershire has never seen Star Trek TNG?
Is it REALLY possible that not a single journalist that was spreading this story has never seen Star Trek TNG, and did not point out to the police that …. using a Bat’leth to promote a knife amnesty is … very funny.
This piece comes from HELLO magazine.
Please do not ask me what I was doing reading it.

I bet the police officers are now on a mad search to find a second Bat’leth, so they can have epic trials of manhood at the police station. Now that’s a leaked cell phone video I’d like to see.
