'Dumb' British Laws

Sarah Best

8th April 2019

Share this content:

The following video follows a journalist from Vice deliberately breaking laws in front of the police.

The laws range of gambling in a library, holding a salmon ‘suspiciously’ and wearing a suit of armour. These are all outdated laws and the video could be used as a humorous introduction for the Crime and Deviance unit.

The video does contain strong language.
