Around the credit crunch 2010-ish some posho turned up in one of those to a demonstration outside my office (the big RBS building that was on the news every night).
He got super-arrested and IIRC they threw the book at him.

Didn’t Jimmy Cauty (KLF) have one back in the days of protesting against the dualling of the A30 from Honiton down to Exeter. Mid 90’s. Had some hefty pa horns strapped to it as I recall.
Ah yes.
Jimmy Cauty, formerly of The KLF, acquired two Saracen armoured vehicles, which he modified into “weapons of audio destruction”. He reportedly purchased them for around £4,000 and equipped them with audio cannons capable of transmitting sound up to seven miles. These vehicles were later used in a road protest near Exeter, Devon.
In addition to the Saracens, Cauty also purchased an armoured car with a history of alleged use in low-frequency sound experiments. He famously took this vehicle to the top of a hill in Devon and played music across the countryside, reportedly causing livestock to frenzy. Cauty also famously burned £1 million in cash and filmed it, later touring the film around the UK.
The armoured vehicles were used in various contexts, including a road protest and as part of a “Triple A” (AAA) formation with a sonic device called S.Q.U.A.W.K. 9000. The vehicles were described as part of a defensive position during the protest, with the sonic device intended to be used in response to any offensive action

They don’t make em like that anymore! Jimmy C was on a different plane to the rest of us.
Aye, a wee bit (?) eccentric for sure. Quite fond of the number 23 I believe.
