Highlanders are rolling in their graves.

Young trainee officers at Strathclyde Police search social networking sites for pictures of people posing with weapons, mainly knives...

...If they were posing in a public place, like on the street or a park, the law has been broken and they'll be arrested.

Even when pictures are taken in private, though, which isn't technically breaking the law, he says the weapons are so dangerous his officers pay a visit to the people involved.

"We show the parents their pictures," he explained, "recover the weapons and make sure they know that behaviour is unacceptable.

"We have large kitchen knives, axes, samurai swords, baseball bats, a huge number and different type of weapons - in simple terms weapons that can kill."

Kitchen knives!?

Remember, when they outlaw baseball bats, only little leagers will be criminals... or something like that.
