Hi,
I’m a F18 UK Uni student. I recently went out to a club wearing a coat in which I carry my knife in (UK legal under 3 inches blade) However stupidly I forgot to take it out of this coat as i usually wear it when i need to walk alone at night & carry it to feel safer.
Anyway, as i approached to get searched I obviously let them know i had the item on me and specified why I carry it. Security took it off me and asked me to leave which I did.
Obviously I was quite annoyed they took this off me as it was a present from a family member however i’m more anxious about police being called on me/telling my Uni? What can they legally do if they just asked me to leave the premises & took my blade. Thanks x
