I like this extract,

 

"What if the intruder dies?

If you have acted in reasonable self-defence, as described above, and the intruder dies you will still have acted lawfully. Indeed, there are several such cases where the householder has not been prosecuted. However, if, for example:

 

having knocked someone unconscious, you then decided to further hurt or kill them to punish them; or

you knew of an intended intruder and set a trap to hurt or to kill them rather than involve the police,

you would be acting with very excessive and gratuitous force and could be prosecuted."

 

Let us hope the hype about Roma people is wrong, sadly I feel we will all need to increase security and keep vigilant next year.

No your honour. I always leave the animal traps there......

Years ago a friend of a friend of mine had a unit with roller shutter doors on an industrial estate and was ram raided a few times so he put a barrier behind the door made from substantial RSJs and when the thieves came back they were seriously injured. He was charged with attempted manslaughter or something like that and received a suspended sentence and a criminal record for not putting up warning signs about the deterrent and concealing them behind the door.

That's just plain wrong! If the thieves weren't breaking the law in the first place they wouldn't have got hurt! It's there own stupid fault

I was told by a police officer, if an intruder is in your house, you have more rights to protect your property and family, using reasonable force. If they are breaking into a shed or workshop, you can't. If they are on a front path, leading to your house, they are within their rights to be there, bear in mind they may be lost and looking for directions, broken down and need a phone etc. if they are in your back garden, they are "only" trespassing, and to assault them would be a far more serious offence.

As far as i'm concerned you catch someone on your private property you can do what you like. PC Liberalism is killing this country.

You can do what you like, so long as you accept that in court you will be the criminal in the dock, if you over step the mark.
