not so fun....
Discussion
Saw this whilst browsing through the 'petrol teds' rants. seems like a laugh and a banter but i kinda tried this before i read it 
friend in the car decided to don a balaclava left in my car after going snowboarding, then opened the window and stared at passers by.
"Death Wish"
This one's usually played when going skiing, but with the right equipment and the right political climate it can be hilarious entertainment for the whole family all year round. Simply get the whole family to don their balaclavas and then drive around the city of your choice (it's important to adopt a fixed stare forwards at all times).
Fun for all the family as you sit outside the embassy of your choice and watch the reaction. See the traffic open up before you as you and your clan gaze straight ahead fully focused on your next task - getting the ice creams in. Watch how quickly people use the crossings when you've got your bonny balaclavas on. Chuckle heartily as an Armed Response Vehicle comes to check you out and the jackpot's yours when you can sue the police for harrassment.
bit of a laugh, no1 got hurt, but next day in college, head came up to me and asked me into the office....
found out that 1 lad who had seen us had 'family problems' COUGHpeaople were after the familyCOUGH and called the police terrified that we were out to get him! so same day plod came round to my house and seized the car!! knew it wasnt me with the balaclava on but screwed me anyway, said it was for dangerous driving
said he was going to have words with my mate and give him a public order offence, slightly worse thanb me, but said the wrong address! mate hasnt heard from them since!!

"It's all good fun until someone loses a bollock".
This reminds me of a similar incident when we were doing some kind of navigation exercise at school, teacher driving one team out to the drop-off point, all with hoods over their heads so they could not see where they were going. Following a Securicor van. You know what happened next... ARV, words of explanation...
Seriously though this is an extremely silly thing to do, particularly in today's political climate, and will probably result initially in a very unpleasant armed "Hard stop" and a very thorough search of all concerned.
Many many better ways for money to be spent than chasing "wacky" students who fail to realise the consequences of their actions...

lol i didnt say it was planned! he found it, put it on, stared at people through a village, then took it off. mustve been bad timing 
also with the political climate bit, it was in north wales, which would explain the heavy police hand, but why would anyone want to bomb it? (for example)
oh yea.....

We should all wear balaclvas until "today's political climate" goes away; it is far more dangerous than any knitted headgear.carrotchomper said:

Oh, FFS! Let's all stay home and not have any fun!

Great phrase, can't wait to use that on my cousin, who actually did lose a bollock in a larking about type accident 
My eyes are already watering at the possible scenarios that could lead to this unfortunate outcome.
Once at college, passenger in my mate's car, mate #2 puts his balaclava on, as we pull up next ot a few people he leans out and goes "excuse me, do you know where the nearest bank is?". They laughed, shook their heads, and strolled off.
Apparently, he walked into his local Spar with it on, and the cashier screamed as soon as he walked to the till with his shopping. Unfortunately for him, there was a copper in the back in relation to an earlier incident...

Back in 1986, myself and some friends drove a WW2 Jeep into london dressed in full camo gear, mirror shades, and armed with big guns (not sure what they were, but a bit like a Terminator plasma rifle, sprayed matt black.) I was the 'General', and we went 'walkabout' in Hyde Park (me with a stylish holstered 'Mini-Uzi')
Didn't have any problems with the machine guns hanging over the sides of the Jeep, and we were observed by the army (who, being far more intelligent than today's average plod, could tell they weren't real guns), and they all ignored us.
Did get stopped by a police bike on the return, who had a few words - "Who are you?" my reply, "We're members of the public!" Such an innocent time!
I couldn't possibly imagine doing anything similar today!

Indeed. And in those days we had the regular threat of acts of terror too*, unlike today's anti-freedom government.SM
- oh don't give me that! Today's "threat" of terrorism by a handful of misguided religous imbeciles is small enough to ignore.

Is it a power under stop and search to force a detainee to remove clothing?
Under certain circumstances, yes. For instance in the vicnity of certain football matches, or where there has been some sort of incident where there is a high risk of imminent disorder, and a senior officer authorises it.Cpn Jack Spanner said:

Peter Sellers once had Spike Milligna (the well-known typing error) drive him through the West End in Sellers' Mercedes "High Command" Staff Car (I forget the model of Mercedes Didn't have any problems with the machine guns hanging over the sides of the Jeep, and we were observed by the army (who, being far more intelligent than today's average plod, could tell they weren't real guns), and they all ignored us.

Thing is, today's terrorists are a pretty predictable, single minded lot. The ones in the 1980's were much smarter and devious. It doesn't take a genius to come up with a plot to destroy the Western World (20 volunteers and around 100k should be enough!). Fortunately there doesn't seem to be many terrorist geniuses (Bin Laden was clearly a one-off, and he's either long dead or working on some incomprehensible plan.)

Not so much. I recall a conversation in the bar of the Europa Hotel, Belfast. My companion was a Major in the RAOC. He remarked that if you'd given him the explosives used by PIRA in 33 attacks against the hotel, he'd have leveled most of Belfast - StreakyAaaaah, The Europa where they gave you a tie or scarf if you were on the premises when it was bombed.
As for the 80's terrorists being smarter, think on. Hear the one about 'The Boys' who hijacked a taxi with intention of firing a 22 (disposable bazooka) out of the back? They forgot about the backblast and left the window closed
