Tarmac 1 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 As the season is very much upon us now, well as soon as the remaining fields are cut, most of us will be back at it, most days and nights, and i'm pretty sure the odd poacher watch groups and police will be getting ready and on the look out wasting goverment money... When or if you've been pulled with lurchers in the past, while the ban has been in place, if you happen to be in an area, you have no reason to be... What have you said? Have any of you been in bother, since the ban was enforced upon us for accidentally breaking the law ? Quote Link to post

RossM 8,119 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 once nipped out lamping with my uncle it was bout half 12 at night and not many people about, but this car followed us all the way out the town and into the middle of nowhere, my uncle clocked it and said its either a taxi, the farmer or the police, and said the farmer and the taxi would know the road and be fleeing along. so, he decided to find out if it was following us and drove round in a big circle, it was still there, so round he went again, still there!! he got about a third of the way round the third circle and the blue lights behind the grill came on, so he pulled over and they asked him what we were doing, he said that he was telling them nowt and said to give him a 7 day ticket they took our names and let us go, went on to have a decent night lol Quote Link to post

lucky 578 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 i usually get surrounded by police, but they can't do shit if they've no evidence of you been on any land.... i tell them i'm off to meet some lads to watch a dog run on some permission "they" have, then if i like the dog i will be swapping it for one of mine in the back, which ever they want.....lol they've got to prove your breaking the law intensionally, and you can drive around any public roads all night with the dogs in if you want, providing your all above board...
