Zhang is a shop owner. His shop sells interesting objects such as antiques, rare playing cards, magazines and other collectables. One day, Zhang places an antique Japanese sword with a price tag attached to it, in his shop window.

Under the Dangerous Objects Act, any person who "sells, lends or gives an offensive weapon (including objects with sharp blades) to any person, commits an offence and is liable to a maximum fine of $10,000 and/or 1 year imprisonment."

Three months later, a police officer walks past Zhang's shop and sees the sword on display. The police officer charges Zhang under the Dangerous Objects Act.
