Guest bigredbusa Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 just found this but does not state what the fine would be???? (1) (2) (3) (4) Offences Enactment Amendment Penalties NIGHT POACHING ACT 1828 (C. 69) Offences under section 1 (taking or destroying game or rabbits by night or entering land for that purpose). Section 1. For the words from “such offender†onwards substitute “he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scaleâ€. Level 3 on the standard scale.

Nell 1 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I don't know for sure, but I would think that, in this day and age a £10 fine for any crime was as extinct as the dodo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1,874 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I was told several years back that apparently it's still a legal requirement for males between two given ages to practise archery every day, simply because nobody got around to getting rid of it. Apparently, there are quite a few daft laws like this still around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
