We have had some intrusions in the past and have done (at a cost) some
security measures such as PrikaStrip and GuardCam. These
reccommendations were given to us from the police and we have bought
the products and installed them.

All of that has not stopped a certain indivdual from using our garden
as a shortcut to his parents house when he has had a taste of beer and
heaven knows what else.

Thinking I was within the law I put a bit of barbed wire in his way in
MY garden betweem the Prika Striped fences. There is no way in or out
unless your intentions are criminal.

He got a bit entangled, snagged his body and clothing, and I have an
ASBO for my efforts. He rang his parents and they knew or at least
thought they knew where he was.

The GuardCam worked against me in this case because I had the cheek to
protect my property.

Well at least you won't get called up for jury service now you have a
criminal record. *:-)
Bit harsh though, for just putting barbed wire up on ones own
property, if it's considered that anti social why is it allowed to be
sold. Did you ask the Court what you should have done instead? They
would probably say call the Police, so you waste a phone call. I trust
the other party, the trespasser, got a similar ASBO?

An ASBO is issued by a police officer. No courts...Yet.
And you are right I should have called police.
The trespasser has not committed a crime, strange but true. No damage I can
find, as tempting as it is.

This is just another lesson I need to learn.
Provide PPE for intruders and a first aid box just in case the little
darlings hurt themselves on my property. Just imagine what might have
happened if I caught him red handed.(shudder)

Just plant sweet briars like Meg Merrilees or Anne of Geirstein - much
nicer than razor wire and not so anti-social ;~))
