Wrong, very wrong and a stupid mentality only a naive and comfortable european can hold.
Collapsible batons

Where are you from, fellow pastanigger?
Because here, especially in the countryside, you won't get in too much trouble for carring a knife that's shorter than the width of your 4 fingers.
Normally you won't have anything seized or get charged for abusive carry of cold weapon.
On foot? In road blocks they never pat you down.

All it takes is one family of them to start shitting up an area by robbing/raping/killing the locals.
Do not EVER relax around blacks, that phrase is not some ironic joke.

Let's be open here: Is your family involved in the mafia?
Because I've been to Italy a fair few times, both north and south, even for longer stretches of time, and I haven't had any negative experience with the cops there. Niggers and gypsies on the other hand, every single time.

Shit, I was just asked about maybe doing a seminar on expandable batons but in my research I find myself less and less in favor of them as a self defense option.
This dude actually brings up some of the points I was finding from looking at data, case study, etc as well as links a playlist of them not being all that effective as a compliance weapon. I have worked with normal sticks and weighted batons personally but rather then just assume expandable ones were exactly the same in use I actually did some research. I am really glad I did.
Embedded is the video I talked about.
Below is the playlist linked.

Why's that?
Police all around the world since the 18th century used to carry real Batons as a "non-lethal" weapon. "Non lethal" because you just used it for beating a criminal up and not stabing/slashing him to death.
Then the bleeding hearts for criminals movement and political correctness started and suddenly it became a huge issue if police accidentally beat a criminal to death.
So they started to gimp batons as a weapon and gave them official political correct names in many forces.
At the end of this development stands currently the collapsible baton(after the tonfa), which still can be used as a weapon. But it is a weapon which hampers the user and puts him at a disadvantage.
The mechanism is nice if you are just some lard ass carrying it around, but in a fight its a liability.
The collapsible baton can break because of it and you can't use it to seriously ram the tip into an attacker, if you do the baton starts folding. The folding can also happen, if you try to grapple your opponent with the collapsible baton.
It lacks the mass of a real baton or even just a normal wooden stick or any other item. This means to get any real force out of the collapsible baton, you have to strike your opponent with the tip.
If you strike only with the tip, that means your collapsible baton is basically just an overly long glorified blackjack. However in most countries and jurisdictions blackjacks are illegal, so you are forbidden from putting weights at the tip of your collapsible baton.
Would you fight with a blackjack which has no weight?
