no overnight parking

Guest
Hi does anyone know the legality of staying overnight when there is a sign saying no overnight parking. We have just discovered a new sign where we have stayed wild camping several times !!!!!!!!!!:
 
Is this in Scotland or elsewhere?

There was a thread on here about it a couple of months ago. If you look back through the recent threads it will be there. There was a lot of good info posted.
 
It really does depend on who erects the sign e.g. You can make and install a sign outside your house, but if it's 'queens highway' it's not worth the paper it's printed on, and in fact you can be prosecuted for littering the highway, however a local council sign can normally be enforced.... so who's is it??
 
Yes that interests me too,we had this last weekend ,but me being me is not going to be pushed about,so stayed the night we were not causing any hassle or nuisance so as far as i am concerned they can get stuffed.
I think these signs go up to deter those that would ruin it for everyone els,i think that if we listened and abided by all these notices ,well you wouldnt be able to do anything in this country.:mad:

Going away this weekend too and the same applies imho

|Two things we can agree on :eek:

1) yes you are very trying.
2) I have never suggested, I know anything as my current multimeter post more than suggests, I state an opinion at times which is exactly that, whether people take any notice is frankly their problem not mine until such time I am paying their fines etc:rolleyes:
3) you are the official pith taker...perhaps it seems so

I look forward to a post from you that adds value to a members question, BTW good job i can hold my breath eh ?

Naturenet: English Common Law

All land in this country belongs to someone. If you go on to land without the owner's permission, you are trespassing unless there is some right of access for the public, or for you specifically (for example if you have acquired a right to pass over the land to reach some land of your own).

Trespass : This law is of little practical use but might be employed when arguing with more reasonable people. It is not normally possible to be a trespasser whilst legitimately on a right of way. However, if the user is not using the right of way as a route to get from one place to another, but using it for some other reason, such as to interfere with the landowner, they can be considered to be a trespasser.

Anyone damaging anything deliberately and without good reason is committing an offence. This includes plants, trees, and all installations such as fences, signs, or paths.

The landowner does not have to give a reason. If the person does not go immediately, by the shortest practical route, then they are trespassing. Despite the well known sign ‘trespassers will be prosecuted’, trespass is not a criminal offence and trespassers cannot usually be prosecuted. They can, however, be sued. There is little chance of such a matter ever being so serious as to be worth suing over, and so this rarely happens.

Section 61 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 allows the senior police officer attending the scene of an incident involving a trespass or nuisance on land to order trespassers to leave the land and to remove their vehicles as soon as reasonably practicable. The power can only be used when there are two or more people there and "are present there with the common purpose of residing there for any period, [and] that reasonable steps have been taken by or on behalf of the occupier to ask them to leave" and either the trespassers have six or more vehicles between them, or they have caused damage to the land or to property on the land or used threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour - or both. So really it's not likely to cover anything other than a major invasion. This power is not often used, but for practical purposes this is the only instance where you might get the police to come and actually remove trespassers from a bit of land.

Nowt obvious so far other than the fact you behave like a prick !!, and if the bait you refer to requires a personal sleight on your part , It says more about your social ineptness than mine.

Your original comment was a personal sleight, said behind the security of a keyboard, I seriously doubt you have the bollocks to say it to my face.

It seems to me there is one ego here in need of a feed and it isnt mine!!.

Interestingly you avoided my original question, It still seems I am holding my breath for you to make a post that assists someone and is not derogatory or a pith take.

It may be lost on Aj but it seems we are hijacking a thread which is important to the OP ...so to use your words AJ open a new thread if you feel adequately aggrieved, I am pretty sure folk dont want to read aggro, but a seperate thread I reckon exonerates us.And bitch to our hearts contents.:eek:

By the way in terms of overnight legalities, in respect to the OP ...I have limited knowledge, AJ will tell you if you ask nicely.

Well Well, a touch wound up are you ?

Quite happy any time any place TOSSER !!....

You are pathetic, inept and hardly worth the bother, but more than happy to help meet up and see if your balls are as loose as your mouth

Takes two (or more) to argue. Mind you , this isn't an argument, more like two kids in the school playground. I think in view of the content this forum should carry an over 18 certificate though. Or a warning to the more easily offended.

Well, back on topic, if it says no overnight parking I guess one should try and respect that but the only time it could be enforced with a fine is if the local authority has made a byelaw, which they are entitled to do with regard to their land. Otherwise the worse you could do is get moved on, but that may not be exactly convenient if you are set up the night or had a drink. In those circumstances I'd probably see if I could cross the landowner's palm with a tenner for the night and see if they saw reason ;-)

Have you noticed, its only you that seems to get a ****ty on when aj posts something, no-one ense seems to be offended, as everyone knows its all done in fun.
If you dont like it, dont answer him, or even better, get Admin to start you a Slaggin Off section.
Cheers, Pete
 
So who puts the sign up makes a difference then. What if i was to take the sign down without damaging it then surely they woud have to prove that it was up in the first place.;);)
