always handy if youve got perrmission,but ive been 100 odd miles awy and had no letters or nowt give them the usual bull shite about just walking the public footpaths they check us up on the radios and let us on our way i think its more to do with peoples previous history with police that makes them take stuff and places where its known for being poached.

Thats why i dont like lamping at this time of year coming back at 2 ,3 am you usually get a tug never lost any gear but the car gets a going over and they ask for a breath sample ,Think its just scare tactic's

what did you say when you got pulled for them to suspect you of poaching?

So far as I am aware there is no law in this land that allows them to confiscate your gear if you are not using it (ie in the van on the way to/from)

Im afraid they can take your car and tackle with just the word SUSPECTED . Usually you get them back within a few days after badgering them about it. Where i live ..s.yorks there have been numerous teams of lads who,ve had said items confiscated...alot depends on which borough you are doing your lamping/hunting in because some forces are keener than others...atb stabba

suspected is only a word they use if you do not admit at the time of being stopped what you are up to,if you come clean,ie lamping on permission they will not need to use the word suspected, therefore you are free to go,in most circumstances and why would you not be,there no reason is there
