See if any of you can answer these.


1. Terry, a great chocoholic goes to Tesco and selects £9.50 worth of mars bars from the confectionary display. He queues at the checkout, however the queues are huge and he decides he is in a hurry, walks to the front of the queue, leaves £10 on the till and walks out of the shop. He does not speak to the checkout operator who only notices him as he leaves the building. In these circumstances is Terry guilty of theft?

A) Yes – even the willingness to pay for the chocolate does not negate liability for the offence.

B) Yes – he dishonestly appropriates the chocolate when he walks past the checkout.

C) No – he has not appropriated the chocolate within the meaning of the theft Act 1968

D) No – he has not acted dishonestly in these circumstances.


2. Belldandy, a local mischievous miscreant decides to go for an afternoon shoplifting session. He walks into his local supermarket with the intention of stealing a bottle of Toilet Duck to go with his dinner. He locates said item, removes it from the shelf and discreetly slips it into his purple flairs. He then quietly struts out whilst combing his quaff.

At what point does Bell commit theft?

A) When he enters the supermarket.
B) When he lifts the bottle off the shelf.
C) When he hides the bottle.
D) When he struts out of the shop without paying.

Go on, give em a go.

There are too many laws. I will go by one. If you do anything I deem to be bad, I will hit you with a stick.

Heh, Belldandy in purple flairs - probably shockingly accurate.

do one about police brutality, Bloke- if a man is suspected of assault (say, called asher d) can police men:

a- touch him when enquiring
b- arrest him
c- assault him. (fair is fair)
d- all of the above

also this quote is relevant

woman calls wiggum- an elephants knocked down your mail box. sure.

guy calls wiggum- a hold up at a convenience store. officer down. yeah and

C) No – he has not appropriated the chocolate within the meaning of the theft Act 1968

A) When he enters the supermarket. (Me thinks it has something to do with having intent on stealing or something)

Ooer misses.

Depends.

Um, that would be a no. We can use "reasonable" force when required to do so.

Depends.
