Tresspassers will (not) be prosecuted...

so why is this?

i understand that it's a tort and any incursion generally results in the favorate 'its a civil matter' response but shoukd it be criminal?

having just experienced such an event locally it seems bizarre that police are powerless to move people on/arrest etc etc!

seems that someone else feels the same tho no doubt there is a right to roam arguement elsewhere!

ok, lets put it another way... do we need to legislate further regarding unwelcome encampments? if so how?

no issues with rights of way, as the nmaes it suggests, there is a general right of passage! the proposed suggests a criminal act of settling - is that so difficult a concept?
