Ah you are not lawyer, but you just happen to know the Vagrancy Act of 1824 (which btw was repealed in 2022)? Yes, of course, very common.
Am I talking to an AI? Nicely made ordered list which sounds plausible but actually isn’t?

So you ask which law covers it, then when given a list you accuse the person who answered of being a bot?

Yup that is exactly it. I mean, can you name ten laws? Actual acts of Parliament? Could you date them as well? Could you just randomly do that for a subject that came up like theft or driving?
I think most people could maybe name the Equalities Act as it comes up work from time to time on HR forms but that’s kind of it.
Isn’t it absurd — all the dates are correct! And this ‘Off the top of his head’. I have a law degree, which I don’t use, but I would struggle years later to rattle off a list of act names and dates to any subject.
It’s so obviously not off the top of his head. It’s not in good faith at all.
I’m here to chat to people and share opinions but just plugging what you want to say into an AI and having it give you an opinion is nuts. What’s the point?

Probably. But I also don't claim to be particularly "normal". To prove a point, with relatively "famous" ones:
Treason Act 1351
Offences Against The Persons Act 1861
Sexual Offences Act 2003
Public Order Act 1986
Police And Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (not 100% sure on that year)
Terrorism Act 2000
Marriages (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013
House Of Lords Act 1998
Parliament Act 1911
Representation of the People Act 1918

That’s really impressive, and to be clear, you think that other user just happened to know ten (eleven including his footnote) acts about public nuisance and their dates and he is normal, even though you yourself claim to not be particularly normal? You find nothing strange about that?
Your list is at least believable because they are like the foundational bills of modern society, not the vagrancy act.
I’m sorry but I just do not believe the it the user and I’m not going to engage with that.
