In article , Gordon
writes KRO wrote "Gordon" wrote in message ... KRO wrote I may pay to keep those leeches in Mondeos Not a car snob, are you? No fraid not, I wasn't aware they were issued with any other car! Plus up until 3 months ago, I had the said vehicle, and it was a decent car until age and lack of maintenance caught up :-) KRO I've just paid out £498 for new lower wishbones (bushes split), and new discs and pads, on a 31,000 mile car. I'm seriously doubtful about replacing it with the later Mondeo. :-( I would have preferred the Focus, and nearly got one, but lady friend said the Mondeo was prettier. I disagreed, but.... I rejected a Focus because I couldn't see out of the back while reversing. Make sure you try this before you buy one. Bernard Hill Selkirk, Scotland |

... "Bernie Hughes" wrote in message ... "KRO" wrote in message ... snip if it *can* be a civil "illegality" can landowners enforce that civil crime as it's taking place? Or does their rights extend merely to recording and report the said offence. M'lud. They have the right to ask you politely to leave their land by the shortest reasonable route. But they cannot obstruct you in any way by putting you in an arm-lock (assault), pointing a shotgun at you (intimidation, threatening violence) or even shouting and swearing at you (breech of the peace). If you refuse to leave, they have no option but to call the cops. Assuming the police actually turn up, they will repeat the request for you to leave. If you refuse, they will offer to escort you to the nearest slammer, to be locked up with any passing naked people. But then, as the landowner has no legal means of restraining you, chances are you will have continued happily on your way and will be long gone by the time Plod actually shows up. In which case it's possible they would organise a full-scale man hunt, but I doubt that's very likely, unless you happen to be in the buff, or of 'foreign' appearance or whatever. -- all of the above may be true, but it would certainly ruin my days walking. .. That's very true unfortunately. It would be a minor victory to continue anyway in the face of opposition, rather than turn back, but it would depend very much on how I felt at the time. -- Bernie Get back on the wagon to reply.. |

Trespass in Scotland is a Civil offence so the police would not be interested in turning up if you had simply refused a landowner's request to leave their land. The only method that the landowner could legally and enforceably use would be an interdict preventing you as an individual from entering their property. |
