An umbrella is not a weapon
Marrit Verveld-Suijkerbuijk was interviewed on the Dutch television station RTL4 as the lawyer of a RTL journalist. The journalist was arrested at Amsterdam Central Station while she was making a news item on mode accessories containing imitation weapons.
In this case it was about an umbrella resembling a sporting-rifle and a bag with a 3D print of a gun on it. The journalist was freed after the interrogation. 'This is not a criminal offence', Marrit explained.
