For those who are interested the legislation is covered in The Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions ) Act 2002 Section 24.This is ROI legislation of course. I did see after a search that the Conservative Party were going to make a similar law part of their manifesto pledge, this was in 2009, since then nothing. At the moment I believe that figures show that 1 in 20 of prisoners in UK prisons are identified as of traveller origin as well. Until the law is strengthened as it was in the ROI then this problem will continue, don't look to the current government to supply any answers.<br />RetiredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-39955839620034397462017-09-23T08:41:29.237+01:002017-09-23T08:41:29.237+01:00Why are they not arrested for their crimes?

I am sure that there are travellers who never change their name, date of birth, or turn up to answer bail, but in 26 years of being a Police officer, I never met, or heard of, them. <br />Offer them the same courtesy hey afford other people and hey, and their SHE snowflake supporters, scream "racist"' <br />The main problem is that, unlike in Ireland, trespass is a civil offensive, as is fly tipping, and the travellers know his and take full advantage. until some brave politician is willing to stick his head over the parapet and prose that these offences be made part of criminal law, this is going to continue.<br />A colleague of mine, brave but very foolish, arrested 9 travellers, men, women and children, on suspicion of criminal damage as no one would admit cutting through a padlocked iron gate to a park. In the end, a 9 year old boy admitted doing it but as he was below the age of criminal knowledge,nothing was done about that and the PCs career went downhill from then on. Sadly, the area crime figures shot up as when the travellers returned to the park, most of their vehicles and caravans had been damaged.<br />PenseivatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-38226947102799458812017-09-22T14:10:56.716+01:002017-09-22T14:10:56.716+01:00Alternatively, make it compulsory that anyone insi...Alternatively, make it compulsory that anyone insisting we all make allowances for them or ignore the law to their benefit is easily recognisable.
