One lot round here ride over the schools football pitches making them unusable.

We have to suffer the noise from local kids on the school grounds just at the back of the house pretty often.

They're not riding bikes etc, but playing with a nitro powered RC car. My response? Giz' a go mate!

As far as I'm concerned, our house is the closest to the school (well, the part they stay in, with the playground), and they have to pass VERY close to our house to even get to the playground. I've told the kids (mostly aged between 9-17 year old) that if anyone complains to them, to politely send them round to my house to pass on their complaint. Then I'll tell them where to shove their thoughts (probably not as politely as I've told the kids to be )

There's feck all for the kids to do by us, and they've found something they like & doesn't really do any harm. Yes, there's some noise, but frig me, it's only noise! It could be far worse!

If the council have to act on any complaints made, I'll put a damn appeal in on the kids behalves!

(I've actually seen a local scroat try to kick the mirror off my galaxy too, but I didn't do anything about it. This same group of kids with the RC car also saw it, and they told the scroat where to go. There was no damage to the car, so I left peer pressure to do it's thing )

Probably, I bet Mr Council Worker is a part time bobby too

Glad that it was nothing too harsh this time...

Bad_Boi_Blue - from de' hood .. innit!!

i'm in 2 minds about it the whole asbo thing tbh - i hate how nanny state this country can be sometimes, and i'd much rather kids, etc could play on bikes off the road than go round thieving cos they're bored. and hell i'd love to be able to ride dirt bikes around like that myself!!

but at the same time i've lived next to playing fields before where the kids would just ride whiney 2 stroke dirt bikes up and down every day. the 7am start on weekends (when i was often nursing a hangover) didn't really endear them to me, nor did the regular burning of cars/stolen bikes the other side of our fence which once made me think that the house was on fire (and trust me you don't ever want that heart-stopping experience!)

Amen! So long as there's no harm done, sod the ASBO's. Noise, even when hung over, I can cope with. There have been times when it wasn't such a good thing, but that can be sorted out nicely (Eg, "lads, sorry, but the lil one is having a kip, would you mind knocking it off for a while, and I'll let you know when he's awake again?")

ASBOs have their place though. Sometimes I can see that it would be the only real way to solve a dispute.

I once fell foul of the plod whilst shooting, they tried to say I was tresspassing with a firearm (Licensed) and in deep trouble. Until I pointed out that at that precise moment, they were the tresspassers.

The same with the idiots who would ride mountain bikes, on the public footpaths that ran through our fields. Worse was the people who thought they could wander and exercise dogs etc.

Simple. If you do not have the land owners permission to be there. You are tresspassing. Get off and if you wish to ride a dirt bike, buy some land to ride on.

Simply meant that they didnt need to take details of someone who they have encountered for the very frist time and is clearly not their normal "target group". yes they were doing their jobs but they could easily have not taken details but engaged in conversation with an adult who was sensible enough to not do a runner but come and speak to them.

In the same vain, the coppers who let the lady go after she'd driven into the back of me while on the phone, were doing their jobs. Their attitude being that since there was no fatality and it was a busy dual carriageway there was no point in prosecuting the woman.
When she kills someone they will until then they didnt even want to record it in their books.
Again my point it that there are lots of ways to do what you are paid to do, some of them involve using your brains and good judgment.
