A bit of a ticking off!
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. Baz |

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? -- Regards Bob Hobden Posting to this Newsgroup from the W. of London UK |

In fact I beleive we have to rely on not being killed or injured while we sleep, and if we are then simply 'phone the police during any attack, life threating or not.

Janet You pop up every now and then to give your view on things, and that is good. Are you telling me and the group that I am wrong in saying that a sign saying "Beware of the Dog" is lawful? or unlawful, because I beleive it to be unlawful, and so does the law of the UK. I don't agree with the policy but it stands. I am certain that you will contest this because that's you and I would not like it any other way. Baz |

Frankly, if the circumstances are as described, no magistrates court would issue one in this case. You might get another penalty for causing injury but NOT an ASBO. OTOH, as any responsible citizen will know, we are not allowed to defend our territory. An Englilsh man's home is open season to everyone.(Here in Wales it's different) If you have a garden pond and a child gets into your garden and drowns in it, you are responsible because you didn't take all reasonable (which means all) steps to prevent the child getting in in the first place. So the child climbed over a 6 foot high wall!!!!!????? Sorry! I'm not sure how Baz laid out his barbed wire trap. But maybe a letter to David Cameron Esq, c/o 10 Downing Street would help. Ask Mr C (who has gone on at length about restoring our right to defend our property) how he would react in given situation. But Baz. Didn't you place that barbed wire there because you were concerned about the number of cats who were attacking the birds in your garden and you wanted to protect the birds? Your garden is clearly secured against all reasonable human incursions so you had no reason to think that any human would get caught up in the barbed wire.

Mike, a word of caution, Keep your barbed wire, but be aware that you could get yourself a criminal record if a perp injures him/herself whilst potentially harming you or your property after entering your premises. I hope it never happens to you. Barbed wire along the top of a fence/wall etc. is fine - it's likely to be clear to anyone trying to climb over - though probably wise to keep it up high enough to avoid accidental contact. Signs might be a wise if in doubt (like the ones you see for anti climb paint etc.) You fell foul of putting something out deliberately to catch someone who would be otherwise unawares. It might be that suitable visible signs at the entrance to the property might have been sufficient to avoid the problem with the FPN. And they would not necessarily be intending to do a criminal act - trespass itself isn't a criminal offence. And someone may come into your garden for entirely innocent reasons -say a dog escaped and got into your garden. They might come into retrieve it when no one was about. If you have a suitable wall etc. they go over, anti climb/vandal paint can work well. As it causes them some grief with paint on hands clothes etc. -- Chris French |

@news.eternal-september.org: In article , says... I see. I have gotten the wrong end of the stick, as it were. Ruff ruff. Seriously I do tend not to read things properly, I noticed :-) not an excuse, but I do work hard at it. So Janet, I was talking nonsense. My apologies. Thankyou, that's OK. Be careful with the FPN that you don't make the situation worse for yourself. Janet ffo Baz |

What a shame that you have proved once again what a Pratt you are. Why why why do you listen to those who don't have a clue, yet dismiss the wise ones? Part of the urg structure I suppose. :-(( (I wonder what our friends over in gardenbanter think to such subscribers as yourself and the predicaments you get yourself into?)
