So i take it, gone are the days when you could go for a walk with your tubs and pick the berries !
Its pathetic aint it.

I like the bit were they say they daren't give the jam they made with them just in case the people they give it to get charged with handling stolen goods

if they were picking blackberrys they could have been charged with racial charges as well

Cheshire police handed the investigation to colleagues in Gloucestershire, who said: “Events that may seem insignificant can have a significant impact on the injured parties.”

What injured parties? People have picked wild berries for generations. Now suddenly it's a crime? So who is going to sue? The birds?

I saw it on the news.

Bloody trespassin' southern buggers.

They climbed over a barbed wire gate at the nature reserve, and were challengened by the owner.

I think they got away lightly with a caution.

I'd have shot 'em.

The security guard (at a nearby building) not minding his own business, has now got Mr Blayney a criminal record. Try getting a police officer to respond to a burglary, the latest add on television is "if you suffer a break in don't dial 999 there are other numbers you can dial" WHAT!

I don't think they consider burglary an emergency any more, it's just a case of putting in a report for your insurance purposes some times this occurs two days later. If you get really lucky and one of them is studying for a crime scene investigators job they come 'mob' handed. Motor accidents are the same "is there anyone hurt" no "get in touch with your insurance then bye bye"

If you've had a break-in you are supposed to phone the local police station.

That newspaper article doesn't say anythng about tresspassing. It says the berries were growing wild. Were they cultivated trees, jam for the use of? Did the trees belong to someone? Were the ramblers on private land?

just reminded me of my conversation with the police only the other week

while driving my car my mobile rang , i glanced down at it and saw that it was my home phone dialing me

i immidiatly pulled over and rang the police and informed them that seen as i lived alone there must be somone in my house and told them that i was on my way to investigate and could they have someone there to meet me as i thought maybe i had a burgular

the police informed me that it wasnt a police matter so i asked what had i to do if i get in my house and find myself getting the crap kicked out of me by a couple of burgulars and apparently then it will be a police matter and i should ring them back

luckily my neighbour across the road was more helpful than the police and grabbed a baseball bat and checked my house out with me , luckily there was no burgulars and it was just my phoneline or phone messing up but it could just have easily been a burgular accidently dialing my mobile when stealing the cordless phone set i have

if i hadnt had had the missed call on my mobile no one woulda believed me lol but i thought the polices attitude stank because if there had have been a burgular he woulda gotten a baseball bat around the head and a damn good beating probably resulting in 2 innocent people getting in trouble rather than a theif

dont it just make you wonder why ANYONE helps the police? this is just one of many examples,it certainly dont encourage people to be "good citizens"
