This blog I read sometimes (really), had a story about a Brit veteran who saw an evil gun in a garbage bag and took it to the police who then arrested him and a prosecutor decided to press the charges and a jury convicted him and he was waiting for sentencing of at least 5 years.
So the story was, naturally enough, under "Fail Britania".
The story was updated with more fail and less but still plenty of fail, just not quite a B+ level of fail.

Our hero claims he was doing one of the cops and some other cops didn't like that. He called the head cop to "bring him something" but kept getting blown off, he didn't want to tell the police what (either at 999 or the head cop) because he didn't want a SWAT type response.
Quote of the millenia from the judge, recall our hero had been calling the head cop for 4 days.
He said the fact Clarke had kept the gun for four days was "odd behaviour" and it was a "very serious matter" that he did not hand it in immediately.

Yeah, because bringing it in worked out so well.

So plenty of fail, but one spot of almost not-fail.
Paul Clarke, 27, was given a 12-month suspended sentence for possession of a firearm at Reading Crown Court today.

No jail time, but a suspended sentence for a weapons violation. I wonder how that will affect employment possibilities.
In keeping with this blog's style book, it's old. The story was updated before Christmas.
