Catcher 1 639 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 On they way home after a rabbiting mission on permission in southport, we were driving through altcar, having a look at the fields with the lamp. we never left the vehicle or entered any fields . As we were leaving altcar we were stopped by lancashire police, who proceeded to confiscate our lamp and summoned us to court on the 3rd of may. Surely we cannot be prosecuted for shining a light from a vehicle on a public road?? It will all come down to the police report,As it often dose. Quote Link to post

Catching rabbits which he has permission for! Unless I've missed something the guy is driving along with two dogs and a couple lamps and various other persons in the car, on return from his permission with no game or rabbits or anything more incriminating in the car; it has to get laughed out of court... unless there is more to this. alright pal . why did they get stopped. blasting lamps looking for goodies thsts why Quote Link to post

stav11 32 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 i ask only because under the poaching act shining a spot light or lamp on land you do not have permission on is classed illegal also hunting from a moving vehicle is also under the poaching act,the law stinks but check it out on wiki mate.

shushycatcher 219 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 ok here we go 14th November, was searched under section 2 of the poaching prevention act 1862, were found in possession or articles, namely two lurcher type dogs with a handlamp and battery pack, which you had used for unlawfully killing or taking game, contrary to section 2 of the poaching prevention act 1862, To charge you with this you must have been in possession of dead game or been caught red handed in a field slipping the dogs,if you were coming back from permission as you said then you were lawfully equipped and there is no problem, me thinks you are not telling the truth,the whole truth and nothing but the truth!!!!

jacksbignose 8 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 alright pal . why did they get stopped. blasting lamps looking for goodies thsts why That's the point; it'll get laughed out as there is no evidence (that's assuming that shining a lamp into a field from a stationary car is against the law)!

I assume that the judge would accept the police officers statement over yours.....maybe you should speak to your solicitor to confirm this and at least have a chat about a plea bargain. The justice system of today is an utter shambles but that is the way it is so you will have to take a gamble if you have plead not guilty.....just chat to you solicitor first and weigh up the possible outcomes. Good luck. Quote Link to post
Stanleigh 135 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Mate IF your telling the truth , DON,T plead guilty and DON,T let any lazy duty solicitor talk you into it , do some homework on the copper , about his own personal involvment in the shoot/area , compare notes with the other lads , and make sure your solicitor is aware of them , get them to see him ,what they say could be useful , DON,t rely on good old british justice , BE PROACTIVE , don,t sit back and moan aboutnot getting justice , FIGHT until you get it , good luck Quote Link to post
bobwood8 1 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Is this no the 3rd time for the same topic? What was the charges, you never say, if you are in court you will have a charge, so spill it, unless you are not telling the whole story. In which case, quit harping on about it. there charging me for poaching, the officer said they were taking action to stop game keepers pushing people into ditches, as there had been complaints. I was after knowledge of any one who had been charged for a similar scenario, not smart arse remarks. i was questioned at the side of the road over a similar thing , mine just got n.f.a and my lamp back.

hinchy10 0 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 My personal reason for this would be, AND IM NO EXPERT ITS JUST MY OPINION, if you car was stationary when the lamp was being shone then id assume your ok, if the car was moving if could be wreckless driving even if you are not the one with the lamp, it could restrict vision for oncoming traffic, and if you were stationary and you has dogs and lamp which suspects poaching, prove to the cops you have previously been on a permission clearing vermin and if you were on your way there tell them where your permission is to prove you were on route to it, give them the landowners details to confirm this, unless your were poaching then youd deserve what come Quote Link to post
