OK but given that only a tiny fraction of crime is solved, then why does the UK have huge prohibitions from carrying things to defend yourself, like even pepper

- dan-robertson 1y agoYou aren’t allowed to attack someone for trying to steal from you so I don’t see how this is relevant to a thread about theft.
- GJim 1y ago> You aren’t allowed to attack someone for trying to steal from you Please don't spout Daily Mail rubbish. Not only is this a demonstrably false comment, it is an idiotic one.
- southernplaces7 1y agoYou're the one whose being dishonest here, at least partly. From what I've read of self-defense laws in the UK, you can use "reasonable" force to defend yourself against attack (try measuring that precisely in the heat of a moment where you don't know your attacker's aims) but yes, you can actually be prosecuted for using force against someone trying to steal from you. Even something as shitty as a google search will show that your claim is demonstratable untrue.
