Knowing you can be prosecuted for "blasphemy" and living with someone you're not married or related to is another sure indicator you're not living in a place that has the best humanity has to offer in terms of social freedom and progress

Lucky it wasn't just Derren Brown up to one of his usual tricks 
.
Superstitious nonsence TBH although I'd like them to arrest David Copperfield and get that flying trick out of him.

Science faculty. Aparantly as a graduate (and thus member of the General Council), you have these powers.
I was arrested by the Bedallus (head janitor) once for not wearing my sword when traversing the cloisters and fined one guinea. It was a trumped up charge though in response to me, as was my right, demanding ale during my finals. The fact that I demanded it from Prof Sir Robert Rankin - Dean of the Faculty of Science was the start of it.
Of course never in later life have I even been momentarily a pain in the arse again!
