Burglars and human rights

Just to be clear, the popularity of baseball in the UK is irrelevant so long as the ball is in the same location.

Trespass is such a minor crime (ok not even a crime if no damage is caused) I don't think it should be listed alongside criminal acts such as burglary. In fact driving at 31mph in a 30 limit or not having a valid tv licence is FAR more serious than any sort of civil trespass as far as uk law is concerned.

Trespass in that instance is still not a criminal matter in itself, hence the crime there would be criminal damage.

I disagree.

How do you or I know what might happen if the emergency services or anyone else needs access? There could be a reason why they don't want to go through the front door. Have you tried to get through a modern front door? It isn't easy or like they show on TV, one kick and it's in. Anyway, were speculating and glass on walls etc and other measures may well be illegal.

And to give you a personal example...

A while ago the paper boy came to get me when he spotted that the elderly lady living opposite had collapsed. As I tried to gain entry and then did the thought of booby traps didn't enter my head and I'd have been a bit cross to say the least if I'd had to go to hospital with her because my hands or feet had been lacerated by broken glass or I'd been blinded by a strobe.

Booby traps are a whole different ballgame (makes me think of trapdoors etc) and I wouldn't advocate their use. Strobes or alarms would be presumably switched off during the daytime.

Also, what would you do if someone had an aggressive dog as part of their defence?

Excellent suggestion. Next time I see some using their mobile in a car, I should be free to drag them from the vehicle, beat them the death at the side of the road, and steal their motor.

The last bit is unnecessary and going a bit far, but if you could kindly do the rest, you'd be doing us all a huge favour. Just parking their car somewhere safe and out of the way of other road users will suffice. (y)
