Dogging (What to do about it)

[tylerdurden]

While I have heard references to this I kind of presumed that this was some sort of pervert fantasy that didn't really happen in real life. Tell me this is not a widespread behaviour? What a total nightmare to have this going on near your house and children.

Replacing tyres is expensive as is petrol in a derv.

This sounds so seedy I would seriously worry about personal safety going anywhere near this sort of activity.

If selling the house is a serious proposition you will be asked by the buyers solicitor about any issues/complaints made to council etc etc. Just to make you aware.

our local forest has had all kinds of under garments strewn about, and has now been renamed the 'F**k Forest' the action has slowed down a bit since cars kept getting damaged, some quite badly paint stripper, keyed etc etc

If any new(ish) users post on this thread, we all know how they got here (via google).

anyway, back to the suggestions.

Lots of nails in the ground to puncture tyres constantly "topping this up" daily may be worth it for a few weeks....

failing that write your MP, the papers and suggestions of them "flashing" themselves at passers by may get some better attention from the powers that be.

if there are syringes then that suggests drugs are being dealt/taken too - worth reporting.

good luck; it sounds like a nightmare.

failing that write your MP and tell him to pack in his dogging and gulling habits...

Just fixed that for you...

Are you daft? Did you read the OP's post? How are these nails supposed to differentiate between the cars of nuisance doggers and the other harmless people who visit the nature reserve?

Hmm, it's a very good point.

Not forgetting wild animals who walk around there too - they could end up with them in their feet as well.

Know the area well do you?

 

[John]

Can't say I do.

I prefer using the Internet for porn. It's a lot easier than going to some weird gathering.

The police seem powerless or unlwilling to take any action. Local officers are appalled at what they witness. But tell me that their superiors have stopped them wriying to the registered keeprs of the cars that are parked.

The doggers (if stopped) have read up on the law. They will happily tell you that "they are on private land" (it is a nature reserve). The owners of the nature reserve default back to the police.

Maybe English law is different to Scots Law in this respect , but my take on this is that if these activities are taking place in an area accessible to the public , then they are committing public indecency offences ( just as they would be if caught urinating in public ) ; a conviction for any of which places the offender on the sexual offenders register . The various items being left behind also amount to littering which is another offence they could be charged with . Threatening behaviour and throwing filth into your gardens should also concern the police .

The fact that the land is privately owned is irrelevant , it is essentially no different than if they did this in Tesco's car park or wherever : it is still a public place and the offence is the same as if they did it in the street ( it would only not be an offence if done in a private place , not accessible to the public and not visible from a public place ) .

The police really should follow up on this and my first action would be to write to my Chief Constable complaining about this and CC my local MP .

Be careful about thinking of using a video camera to film anyone:

He could not have fallen foul of the law for photographing or video recording anyone in a public place since this is completely legal - no one can have any expectation of privacy in a public place and can do nothing to prevent themselves from being photographed or filmed .

Absolutely spot on. Everything you have said is on the money. Unfortunately Kent Police do not see it like that. Their Chief is worried about the Doggers Privacy or home life being upset. Never mind our life.

In 11 years not a single arrest or caution. This includes on naked individual found by the local press chained to a tree with a hood on his head and a sign round his neck asking for people to abuse him. He even left some condoms at his feet.

Police said they had a quiet word with him.

What would happen if I abused him with a shotgun.

You may have to learn to live with it. Sex in public is not illegal and the police are reluctant to be seen persecuting minorities.

It amounts to indecent exposure .

Not as direct as shooting them in the ar*e with an air rifle. I'm sure some sharp "scrap" could find it's way to each end of the road. Or sneak up on them "ninja style" and shove matchsticks in the tyre valves whilst they are otherwise engaged, try cutting the main engine earth lead I guarantee you'd only have to do it 2 -3 times before they got the message.

A tin of expanding foam discharged up their exhaust pipes would be near silent and quite effective ( more so than a 'tattie' shoved up the exhaust ) .

I won't suggest shoving a can of gas lighter fuel up the exhaust as this can cause a lot of damage when it reaches critical temperature and explodes , once they have travelled so many miles down the road

And thanks to this thread, my er... 'research' has taught me a new word that I didn't really want to know - "gulling")

Is the best car for this sort of activity a GULLING MERCEDES 300SL perchance ?

 

[219]

Another notion would be to invite the local 'green lane-ing' club to try the area out a few times ........... or the local hunt ( now that fox-hunting is outlawed ) .

Suggestions relating to "doing" the vehicles won't work - the event uses the cars (so I'm told) so any direct action needs to relate to the lane when the doggers aren't there.

What about going in with an excavator and digging a large hole , then covering it over with a net and scattering fallen leaves so that one of the cars falls down it next time they come .

Or blocking the entrance at night with an old van worth buttons
