bouncer 51 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 i was out one day hunting foxes with my beagles when a police woman turned up,sheasked what i was doing so i told her i was fox hunting.she then said i was breaking the law,so i told her i could legally hunt a fox as long as it was not with more than 2 dogs i then told her i could hunt foxes with 2 dogs and excercise 52 if i liked,but she then phoned 3 different police arseholes, and the last one told her i was right the other 2 didnt have a clue.she then asked me too why dont i move on and i told her i will when i have finished which she didnt like very much then off she went.

Did you get any hare's with the shepards then? It is bonkers how so many resources can be called out for things as simple as that, surely there are better things for you and the police to be doing, I think a stern warning would make people think twice about getting there facts straight before ringing the police up, fair enough you see a person in your neighbours back yard, then fair enough call them up straight away, he could be a theif, but out in the fields with no firm evidence it's a different game. Any false call to the 999 services warrants prosecution dose'nt it? Depends what you mean, Hoax calls? I mean! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This happens because the legal system is imperfect. With regard to hunting, simply by being out there, we are exposed to risk of malicious or unfair treatment or prosecution because the hunting act can be so broadly interpreted by the police, who tend to assume guilt. It' s not fair and it' s not right. But that doesn' t mean you shouldn' t arm yourself in advance of the worst happening by being aware of how the law works, and having a contingency plan in place, in case you do get collared.

Not worth them sending out officers to arrest Hoax callers, just tell them not to do it again. If they call in a Hoax like a Hoax Bomb threat then things change obviously Quote Link to post Share on other sites
