UKBA in illegal tasers shock (pardon the pun)

Quote:
legal stun guns 20 times more powerful than police Tasers can be illegally imported into the UK with ease, a BBC investigation has found.

Quote:
Statistics obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show the Metropolitan Police has investigated more than 200 crimes involving the weapons in the past three years.

Over the same period they seized about 500 stun guns.
Good job crime's falling then...

Quote:
The UK Border Agency (UKBA) insists it is tackling the problem...
Phew! That's OK then...

Quote:
The UKBA was unable to say how many stun guns it had seized last year.
A spokesman said the most recent year for which it was able to provide figures was 2008/2009 - almost four years ago, when 160 were seized.
Ahhh...
