This is a question I should have been arrested

Faced with The Law when I and a bunch of equally idiotic mates set off a load of loud explosions down the local chalk pit, we blamed bigger boys who had run off. Tell us of the times when you got away with something naughty and slightly out of order.

Thanks to MatJ for the suggestion

Oh no it's not
According to The Guardian, it was true at least as recently as 2007

Though I suspect it wouldn't wash as a plea in court...

The law may still be on the books
But it will be superseded in court by the laws governing, say, murder.

As the article itself says
"In most cases, the implied repeal argument would probably work," said Mr Coad. "Whatever people in York may think about Scotsmen with bows and arrows, they would have a hard time avoiding several centuries of homicide acts."

The start of that article is wank.
The reason those laws aren't repealed is because they don't need to be as they have precisely zero legal weight.
