AIBU to think if a knife is confiscated in court it should be taken seriously?

86 knives that people tried to take into family court. It looks like it's being treated with the same significance as a small bottle of water or forgotten nail clippers at an airport. AIBU to think it should be taken more seriously?

1. Given that carrying a knife should be an offence, why does it look like the police aren't being involved to determine if a caution or prosecution is necessary (and to see if threats against the ex are known about)? These people think it's normal to carry a knife, to not tell the police surely confirms that?
2. The judge in each case should be informed because this gives a clear picture of the person (let's face it, mostly father) and their threat potential when deciding on access arrangements.
3. On what basis can they say: "the judiciary "do not believe that most, indeed any, of these knives were necessarily being brought in for use in the court building""? Enough people try to hurt their ex partner, maybe not in the building but they might plan to follow them.

On the detail you have given, YABU, as we don't know what further action may have ensued. Although taking a knife anywhere is obviously VU and I'd be quite happy for instant 4 weeks immediate detention for anyone found with one in public.

Dh used to work security for courts. You'd be surprised by the shit that people try to take in with them. And are then annoyed about having confiscated from them.
