Hi all, I just wanted to ask a question because I've noticed that many people seem concerned about a police presence at dogging locations. Has anyone on here actually been arrested for dogging or whatever the associated offence is?
I haven't been dogging yet and would love to go if only I knew where, but the police are the least of my concerns. Am I misguided here?
you can be arrested for dogging though it would come under public decency i think? Public decency is not an arrestable offence in itself however a police officers general powers of arrest are as follows:- A constable may arrest anyone whom they have reasonable grounds to suspect is commiting or has committed an offence that is not an arrestable offence provided...
service of summons is impracticable because any of the general conditions exist.
Section 25 provides that a summons will be impracticable where the suspect has failed to furnish a satisfactory address or the officer has reasonable grounds for doubting whether the address given is satisfactory for the service of a summons.
There is more but its too detailed. I may not be entirely correct but its something like that.
Yeah, I understand that you can be arrested. I was just asking if anyone actually has been arrested? It's just that if it turns out that no one has or it's very rare then that must mean that any police presence is not really a problem.
me and the wife did when we went camping......... we were charged with fucking within tent lol
Powers of arrest without a warrant are governed by the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 as amended, and can be grouped into the following categories:
• Arrest at common law for breach of the peace.
• Summary arrest for an 'arrestable offence'.
• Arrest subject to conditions.
• Arrest under specific powers.
• Arrest for the purpose of fingerprinting.
• Arrest for failure to answer police bail.
• Arrest to have a sample taken.
• Arrest of a young person for breaking conditions of remand.
Now, since the sexual offences act of may this year, a whole new load of sexual offences exist which WERE public order offences last year, but are now serious sexual offences.
For instance, voyeurism.
Last year, laughable.
This year, serious (on conviction) with several years on the sex offenders register if convicted.
Last year, indecent exposure. This year "exposure", with the same sex offenders register.
Take it easy. Too many people start by insulting the law. This is frequently a bad mistake.
Mostly, they're out to prevent a breach of the peace....whoever causes it. If you start shouting at them, it's you. And it's arrestable.
