tomorrow on 'cozen teaches the law of scotland' we'll deal with the (in)coherence of scots criminal law, specifically in relation to the collapsing of mens rea into the actus reus of murder by the epochal case of HMA Vs. drury

the scots law of breach of the peace is so flexible as to be able to be put towards any action which can be deemed to be disturbing to a member or members of the public; it's really a catch-all crime (it's because of this almost indeterminate nature of the crime that it's been taken to task quite a lot, from what I remember, in strasbourg). here's the definition from a quick scout around the internet (reads like macdonald to me but there's no citation) (found on an activists webpage no less):

conduct "genuinely alarming and disturbing, in its context, to any reasonable person ... it is clear that something substantially greater than mere irritation is involved"

So you could be fined for eating an ice cream cone, alone, out on the street?

I think I committed a breach of the peace on the train this morning listening to vitalic at top volume through my portapros

if ken googled her, would that be creepy?

i think it's a fine law we could do with here. peace-wise, there are few 'reasonable people' in london, hence people breach the fuck out of it.

I've always find it weird to call people who believe in love on first sight as "romantics". If you fancy someone merely based on her appearance, isn't that rather shallow, and therefore the opposite of romantic? I consider myself a romantic, but I'd never fall for someone without even talking to her to first.

if you fancy someone enough, you'll find ways of liking them, maybe. i don't know, it's complicated, appearances tell you quite a lot, really. but i don't think you have to oppose 'romantic' to 'shallow'.

I committed a breach of the peace on the train to Weybridge with a copy of the Sunday Sport.
