YOU CAN KILL BURGLARS
By Jeff Edwards Chief Crime Correspondent
makes it clear what you can and can't do. As Home Secretary Charles Clarke stressed it was "the right of every British citizen" to protect himself, his family and property".
Acting "honestly and instinctively" is now the key.
The leaflet from the Association of Chief Police Officers and the Crown Prosecution Service was aimed at ending confusion in the wake of high-profile cases such as that of Tony Martin. It said: "You are not expected to make fine judgments over the level of force you use in the heat of the moment.
"So long as you only do what you honestly and instinctively believe is necessary... that would be the strongest evidence of you acting lawfully and in self-defence.
"This is still the case if you use something to hand as a weapon."
A police source said: "If someone was trying to kill you with a gun, knife or an axe, for instance, you would be legally within your rights to shoot him if you had a legally held gun handy."
The leaflet said intruders did not necessarily have to be the first to use violence. It added: "If you have acted in reasonable self-defence... and the intruder dies, you will still have acted lawfully." You can kill burglars, DMi, 2.2.2005,

There is no way harpoons can kill humanely, says wildlife broadcaster
David Attenborough joins
campaign against cruelty of whaling,
This week the world's most advanced human-shaped
robot has been performing to amazed audiences at the Science Museum. The
gig was booked after weeks of haggling with his agent. "I'm sorry, but my boy is
not sharing a dressing room with the Dalek. He gets star room number one, with a
whole crate of WD40 and top billing above the animatronic Gollum."
The new Japanese robot is called Asimo, short for "Advanced Step in
Innovative Mobility" (and it was also his grandfather's middle name). He really
does possess an incredibly advanced range of human skills. He
can walk up and down.
He can shake
hands. He
can wave. Apparently the royal family are worried he might make
them completely redundant. Asimo will even stride towards you and offer an
outstretched hand as a greeting, except for the teenage version, which barely
looks round and just grunts from the sofa. All week crowds at the Science Museum have gasped as the robot has
followed orders to walk up steps, walk down steps, turn around and come back.
While the security guard stood there thinking: "Well I
can do that! Walking up steps, that's easy. But does anybody ever ask
me? Oh no, I just stand here being ignored while they applaud that stupid robot
doing things I could do when I was two." There are fears that Asimo's new-found
celebrity status may be getting out of hand. He's already been photographed for
the Party People section of the colour supplements, chatting with weathergirl
Suzanne Charlton and the drummer from the Darkness and saying: "Of course, I
love performing; but what I really want to do is direct." Asimo is small, only 1.2m, and looks like an extra from a science fiction
film. He is connected to the internet, so he can
provide all sorts of useful information for his owner, like how to
get your android a penis enlargement. He can recognise
different voices and walk
in different directions, and in a decade they're
hoping he might even fetch sticks. A lot is being made of his highly developed
ability to walk down stairs, with no credit, apparently, being given to his
British forerunner: the Slinky. The Japanese may well make the cleverest little robots, but
we
can still
pride ourselves on making the hardest. In a straightforward fight,
Asimo wouldn't stand a chance against one of those destructive monsters from
Robot Wars. We can feel
a surge of patriotic
pride as we imagine Asimo being sliced in two by Mr Psycho's rotating blade,
while a strange man in an anorak impassively wiggles his remote control behind
the screen.
