Just reposting something we have asked before , but never really got any answers to . Amongst the many many posts for meetings on the board weve noticed ALOT of people posting reports of what is usually described as 'police activity'.
By way of research and information for the regulars showers and players amongst us , can anyone please let us know if they have ever been arrested , charged or cautioned for an offense directly related to dogging ? That doesnt include having your car looked at and finding a bald tyre , or arrest for mouthing off at the police , or arrest for trespass or arrest for refusing to move on , or arrest for drink driving .
Has any member of the board actually been arrested , charged or even cautioned officially for a dogging related offense ? Please dont post about people you have 'heard about' just post if it was actually you and be specific about the offense you were charged with and the resulting punishment . Then we can all be clear what threat the police pose to our fun and games.
Thanks
Jomu is probably the expert on this and will be able to give us all a proper, realistic answer. We have been caught by the police but they simply asked us to find somewhere more suitable. We were very polite and did not answer back etc, its just not worth it!
Must admit that I have never known anyone who has been 'done' for dogging!
Yeah thats our experience Wigan , and is exactly the point of the question really . Im sure Jomu will agree ( whats happened to his sticky by the way ?)
might as well contribute guys,but you know what the answer is.. upward of 100 police visits,drive-thoughs,out on foot,car to car,multiple police attendances,weve been questioned,had a laugh with them,been patronized by them,asked if we had seen much,done much,been told to move,been told i'm a lucky man,having a bi-sexual wife,been followed,had the car checked,been told of better sites,been told about things they had seen,but,eermmm,no,cant really say we had been nicked,even when i asked if a wpc and male counterpart would "show" for the lads,no,sorry guys,cant help you.
Thanks for the replies from the " Happy Doggers" as we call the regulars :-)
Thought we'd bump it up a little in case some of the Dogging convicts have only just managed to post bail and they want to share their ordeal with us .
Is there actually a law which relates to dogging? I know you can be done for having sex in a public place but if I am right (and I am sure someone will correct me) doesn't someone have to complain? Is it also true that the police man/woman can be the one who makes the complaint?
Just a question really - but what happened to Collymore. I know he was found out near to me, but was not sure if it was the old plod or just the media? I hope putting his name up here does not contravene rules, but everyone in the uk seems to know what he did so I have made a presumption that it was ok.
If it was plod, I would have thought that the papers would have said what happened to him.
well iam new on here as all you regulars mite av noticed and made a few mistakes but learning
as for the old bill issue i was stopped last wk 9pm and askd wot i was up to on reply as has been said you give them an excuse they cant follow up on
but was asked to sit in there car while one done the uasall chek on the car and the other took my detail down
all chekd out ok but wen i asked y they were doin this they replyed there had been a few car jackings and also drug users in the area
and then he said have u ever heard of dogging which i replied o yea have seen a bit on the media does that really happen round here then
which he replyed o yea so i said is it illegal then he said only if they catch u in an indesent act otherwise no but if we no it happens we just keep turning up till they move on
and we keep a list off all cars that visit
i think they got better things to do but have to let it be known that they do patrol dogging areas
and if a new site is put up on a webb site it dont take them long to catch on and start patroling
hope that helps a little

Well guys that looks like another NO on the arrests front , maybe we'll post the question again after a months or so and another hundred police " warnings".
We have been caught 3 times on 3 specific occasions; We were doing more that a kiss and cuddle or grope if you know what I mean. We were not rude to the police and we did not have any obvious audience (except on one occasion when a dogger parked quite close in his car). We were simply asked to either move on a do that some where else.
Police seem to prefer moving us on rather than booking us.
D and P
if the police spent more of their time on real crimes and left doggers and motorists in general alone ,rather than trying to get a percieved in fringement of something minor
they would be seen in a better light and maybe in certain circumstances may find that the general public would do a damn sight more for them
I was questioned 2 weeks ago in Doncaster for the first time by the boys in blue, they asked me what I was doing so I told Them "Nothing officer, I'm just sat in my car having a fag" he replied "well there's alot of doggers come into this carpark" I just acted thick and told him " my dog is at home and he's too slow to catch a rabit" He looked at me confused and asked what that meant, I just acted all inocent and replied "Arnt doggers people poaching for rabbits" LOL
One of them then went on to explain what dogging was and said he liked the idea of it but the goverment didn't, and that he had to follow orders. He wished me a good night and then said it would be safer for me to move on.
I was as nervouse as hell and thats why my mouth opened and stupid stuff came out, Was quite funny though thinking about it afterwards though.
I don't think there is a specific law that is aimed at doggers, and police would only act on a couple if a specific complaint had been made by a member of the public. I think that caution should be exercised at what times of day etc etc so as not to fall foul of the law.
Agree it is a good thread and would be very interested to hear of anyone being done for anything as some people i suspect may have a lot to lose from such an incident.
Looks like its still 100% NO on the arrests front , and coming from the largest dogging arena for the UK on the net , id say that was quite strong evidence that unless youre arrogant or stupid the chances of serious aggro from the police for dogging is very slim .
The North West seems to be a hot bed of dogging activity, although the OB did cross my path twice whilst at two of the locations listed on here on Saturday. Just avoided catching me in a very compromising position on the first occasion. On this occasion it was traffic cops who had obviouisly come off the Motorway. Made it obvious they were taking numbers, so I left.
Is this also the place to ask about dogging etiquette?

Hi all just thought i would tie this post in as it has relevance.
Scary as well if it is the police tactic of the future.
Just to let you know you haven't been forgotten...........................................and that the press are still not understanding the difference between DOGGING, CRUISING and COTTAGING....given the amount of hacks dropping their pants in loos, they might have got the message by now...
Local 'old bill' refute car park sex haunt
Weston Mercury
Seaside fun has taken on a new meaning in Kewstoke as several websites identify it as a prime site for 'dogging'.
**** Point National Trust area and car park is usually described as an area of natural beauty but on certain adult websites it is being highlighted as a hotspot for watching other people have sex, or joining in - an activity known as dogging.
One website, which lists comments about dogging locations all over the country, states: "It is an up and coming spot, becoming a favourite with the locals."
Another location mentioned is Co**um Lane, and one user says a "great location, very isolated, ideal for adult fun and frolics, the old bill never check it."
Kewstoke Parish Council chairman Tony Morris said: "I have heard on the grapevine that it takes place down there but there is nothing concrete, I don't imagine it's something the local residents take part in bearing in mind their average age.
"It is a bit of a grey area in the law so we are getting advice from our beat officer and the local action team.
"The matter will be on the next parish council agenda for discussion as well because we don't want anything like this to give the **** Bay area a bad name."
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset police said: "Dogging as such is not an offence, gross indecency and lewd conduct are.
"We are not aware of **** Bay being popular for the practice in the past, but if people are aware of offences taking place in that area or are offended by anyone's behaviour, they should let their beat officer know."

Police will put stop to seedy sex craze Jun 15 2005
Northwich Chronicle
POLICE are taking action after an increase in reports of people performing sexual acts in Mid Cheshire beauty spots.
A number of people have contacted police after spotting exhibitionists performing sexual acts - known as 'dogging' - in public toilets at Delamere and Hatchmere.
'Although this is not the usual type of problem we deal with, it is causing concern to people and we therefore take it very seriously,' said Insp Phil Hodgson, of the Western Rural Neighbourhood Policing Unit. 'This activity, known as dogging, has attracted lots of coverage in the national Press and it seems secluded areas all over the country are experiencing this type of problem.
'The details we've been receiving indicate that damage is being caused to the barriers between toilet cubicles enabling people in one area to see people in another. This then allows people to expose themselves or perform sexual acts on themselves in front of other people.'
Dogging involves exhibitionist sex, often with strangers, in semi-secluded locations such as car parks or country parks, with an audience of voyeurs. Participants appear to organise meetings over the internet, with arrangements made via e-mail or text messaging.
Insp Hodgson is liaising with the health authority and council to solve the problem. Discussions surrounding improvements to the toilet buildings and targeted patrols by police officers are already under way.
He added: 'This type of activity is not only offensive to people, there are also a number of laws under Common Law and the Sexual Offences Act which people may be breaking. The culprits need to know that we won't hesitate to take action.
'The public should be able to enjoy these areas without exposure to such activity and I assure people we are working hard to achieve that.'
Last year, we reported how Delamere Forest and a Little Bud-worth car park were listed on websites as areas where people meet to take part in the phenomenon.
One website says an area close to Delamere train station has proved popular with 'dogging' couples as has a car park reportedly near Oulton Park racetrack.
