scotty2306 37 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 been out on 3 different nights over the last week and have been pulled everytime by the same copper, he must have a big area he patrols as all 3 areas were 40m from each other.he has caught us shining the lamp in the field from the car but has not caught us with any game.he keeps saying if we have no permission to be here we will get done and take lamps and dogs i say but we have not been in a field and have no game so how can we get charged?his reply we will get u for something if we catch u again.he says something about u dont need any game or to be caught in a field as having lamps is classed as going equipped and is a crime.is this possible?surely if they could they already would of.and how would i stand if i was pulled up on way home with a few bunnies in the vehicle but had no explanation as to where i got them would i get charged for poaching?and how if they dont know where i have been.its going crazy now Quote Link to post
Guest long-tail Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 yes it is possible to get booked for going equiped.......................if they had known my dogs capabilities id prob got away with it ,nothing more than a written ticket and told to stay clear 2 Quote Link to post

scotty2306 37 Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 i know that its obvious im up to no good but what i mean is how can they say what ive done or where ive been if they have no proof.cant see how i can get done for driving down a road in my car regardless of time or whats in the car Quote Link to post
thomps125 49 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 if they wanted to be a real c**t then they could hold u over nite to see if they can pin anyfing in the area on you. But without proof of you doing or being somwhere you cant be prosecuted Quote Link to post
rocky1 942 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 its for you 2 prove your inncents in the court room ,the coppers are not bothered but they will come a cropper when you go 2 court and get NFA [no further action] when the police will start getting a backlash ,i belive in some areas its happen now Quote Link to post
whin 463 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 it happens a lot had it rock , getting pulled for no reason apart from being out after 11 at nite on main road legaly , they soon leave when you ask them there names numbers and there inspectors name and the papers will be informed in morning for harrasment, scots law is diffrent ,just dont let youre self get pulled , ie change the routes plank stuff get there name and number etc start giving them the same medicine . 3 Quote Link to post
scotty2306 37 Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 i thought it worked like that,im not bothered if they catch me with no game in my car as i cant see how they can do much but its if i have a few rabbits im bothered about with no explanation.its mental that u cant even put a rabbit in your car without getting bother Quote Link to post
Guest long-tail Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) i thought it worked like that,im not bothered if they catch me with no game in my car as i cant see how they can do much but its if i have a few rabbits im bothered about with no explanation.its mental that u cant even put a rabbit in your car without getting bother nothing wrong with picking up roadkill as far as im aware ,been stopped plenty over the years just for the fact its late at night driving home,me and a lad on here got stopped twice few months back within half hour two different coppers,we might have lamped the odd rabit from the layby,give it to them straight just running a few rabbits ok lads no worries,not a question as to weather we had permission or not,i really think its down to the attitude you give them weather they decide to take it further,so far i never had no trouble since the ticket 15 year ago,not bad going if you ask me Edited December 31, 2011 by long-tail Quote Link to post

MikeTheDog 153 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 i know that its obvious im up to no good So why are you whinning about getting tugged?..You're sparring wih each other so you'll have to take the shit!... Quote Link to post
stabba 10,745 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Its that old chestnut "SUSPICION" mate..they suspect you are up to no good then then they are entitled to stress you. If its that bad then try and get a touch of permission then that,ll explain your comings and goings at an ungodly hour with lamps and dogs..atb stabba 2 Quote Link to post
scotty2306 37 Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 i know that its obvious im up to no good So why are you whinning about getting tugged?..You're sparring wih each other so you'll have to take the shit!... what i mean is... i know they are not daft and know that i will be poaching but what im asking is if i can be done without them actually catching me with my dog running game in a field where i have no right to be and if i have any rabbits how they can prove they were poached and from where. as said above they are road kill which they will know im taking the piss but how do they prove they are not surely it has no case to be took to court Quote Link to post
