Hmmm. I've seen a "Revenue Protection Inspector" rugby tackle a scrote

What does the law say about having to go through the machines? If I
hurdle them, or somehow get past them without opening them, but I have a
legal ticket, am I in trouble?


I guess you could be... my thinking is that you have to provide a
valid ticket when asked and that you could say that going through a
machine is being "asked".
