Public Spirited Pensioners Prosecuted.
55 Answers
Okay, technically they broke the law, but was it within the spirit of the law to have them prosecuted? Was it really "in the public interest" to drag this pair to court NINE times for their public spirited crime?
Aren't there far more serious matters which could be prosecuted instead?

SB - Try to keep a sense of proportion............
Snipping the wire on a burglar alarm on an uninhabited house is in no way comparable to anything thusfar suggested.
I usually advocate staying within the law..........but when there is no remedy for your situation in law, sometimes you have to act and trust to common-sense at the end.

A friend of mine lives in the village where I was born(West Malling) and someone had a dog that was barking all day(it was on it's own)
After 2 months of this,and nothing being done (the RSPCA confirmed the dog was OK)
Some b@stard in the village broke into the cottage took the dog and dumped it miles away.
Luckily the dog was microchipped.
Someone in the same village stole a very old ride on mower from someones drive,and dumped that too.When they were caught,they said "I couldn't stand it looking so messy and horrible opposite my house"
Someone in a neighbouring village complained about the bells of the church clock,even though they had moved into the house knowing that the church clock was very near.They admitted that if something wasn't done to stop the bells of the clock they would take matters into their own hands!
Anarchy sheer anrchy.
Where do you stop?

Sounds like they were preventing a case of further audio vandalism to me.
Wouldn't have been necessary if the police had taken up the responsibility of stopping the alarms. But apparently it is ok to make decent folk's life a misery just so long as the victims don't try to correct the situation and get their right to an undisturbed life back.

The law does NOT say that you have to put up with intolerable situations. The law says that you must do all you can to mitigate any action you may take. Waiting for 2 months to determine the owner, whether the Police can help and exploring all options as to how to stop the nuisance surely counts as mitigation ?
