Illegal Items (Ninja Stars and Pocket Knife)

[Huck553]

Like to check what's the difference between a pocket knife and switch blade, and rational/reason as why is the one illegal and the other not. Also are ninja stars illegal? Feels weird if one bladed/sharp item is considered a "weapon" while another is not. Read the police handbook but it didn't give clear instructions if ninja stars are illegal or not. Suggestion: 1) Perhaps a clear list in point form will help players. 2) Red fonts for searched items that are illegal 3) Making all bladed/sharp tools carried as illegal. Thank you.

Well a pocket knife has to be manually opened with two hands, but a switch blade will pop open and closed with a simple button press. I don't know why a ninja start wouldn't be illegal to carry as its a throwing weapon, but as far as I can tell it isn't illegal in Brighton.

Stars will become illegal in a future update

I think its also the length of the blade.

Game assumes way more wannabe ninjas walking around the streets.

Also, yes, the switchblades are illegal because the blade deploys in an instant. Also, typically, they are double-edged blades (dagger), which are also generally illegal to carry.
