In UK law is it illegal to draw a line on your throat indicating a slashed throat?

its not illegal, by British law but it would be taken as a threat to who ever you were doing it to, again its not an arrestable offense, but not a very clever one, especially if your in the wrong sort of place and why would you want to do that anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait a minute.  You saw this happen on the news, and now you're wondering if...what you saw really happened?\n\nAnyway, slagathor's got it pretty well down (couple of posts above mine), but it really depends on what state you're in, and exactly what a person says.  In California, just saying you're going to hurt someone probably does not qualify as a threat because this state requires you to threaten someone with death or great bodily injury...and punching me in the shoulder probably would hurt, but would not be considered great bodily injury.\n\nHere's the law slagathor was talking about, just so you can see how California addresses these kinds of things:\n\n422.  Any person who willfully threatens to commit a crime which will result in death or great bodily injury to another person, with the specific intent that the statement, made verbally, in writing, or by means of an electronic communication device, is to be taken as a threat, even if there is no intent of actually carrying it out, which, on its face and under the circumstances in which it is  ade, is so unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific as to convey to the person threatened, a gravity of purpose and an immediate prospect of execution of the threat, and thereby  causes that person reasonably to be in sustained fear for his or her own safety or for his or her immediate family's safety, shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed one year, or by imprisonment in the state prison.

If you have a genuine reason for not filling it in then no.  Like say, if you were once involved in a hate crime or similar and you are in fear of your safety and don't want  to be found you could get away with it.

Sometimes the needle scrapes the side of the vein and there is a tiny leakage. If it really does hurt why not ring NHS Direct (if you are in the UK) and ask on there?\n\n0845 46 47

Did I miss something here? So far two people have referenced riot.\n\nYou have the right to free speech until someone finds it offensive and takes you to court for it.\n\nI belive the case was Chaplinsky v New Hampshire. \n\nIn short, if what you are saying in a public place offends the majority of the people around you and pose a 'breach of peace', you are not protected.

It's illegal to kill anyone in the UK.\nBut if you killed someone accidentally during a struggle while trying to protect life I doubt if you would go to prison. (The term is to use reasonable force)\n\nIf a burglar breaks into your home the last thing you should worry about is YOUR legal rights.\nYou should take him upstairs to the bedroom and throw him out the window, which would probably kill him.\nPhone the police and say he died trying to flee.\n\nThe farmer that shot the two burglars a few years ago made the mistake of not killing both burglars.

I sure hope not.  There should never be any governmental interference in speech that is offensive or hate filled.  Only when there is clear evidence that the speech is a direct threat towards an individual should the law be able to take any action. If people could be jailed for offending, we all would be wearing prison uniforms.

If the owner or manager of a business, or householder tells anyone they are barred from the property, then should they go onto the property they will be trespassing.\n\nTrespassing is not a criminal act, but a civil wrong.\nTherefore, unless the person is seen as presenting a threat, making their presence a criminal act, the police have no place in enforcing the ban.\n\nIf a person Trespasses onto the property, reasonable force can be used to evict them, if the trespasser carries a weapon, 'reasonable force' can take account of that fact.\n\nTrespassers can be sued in a civil court, there need not be a financial loss to sue them.\n\nIf a person has made a threat to kill, that in itself is threatening behaviour, if it was intended to be a threat. That is a ciminal act.\n\nIf any person causes a disturbance within a restaurant, it would seem reasonable to others present, for that person to be evicted.\n\nThe phase 'I will kill you' is often an expression of great anger.\n\nThis is English law as I understand it.

Laws differ by state but it is branishing, intimiadating, threatening, if you fear for your life report it they will be charged and they will be pissed but might not do it so lightly next time.
