GAIST on private property

They drove straight past my son through the yard and down to the wind turbine - (Dead end) on the way back through the yard they actively swerved around him ( Anyone who knows him will know that they couldn't pretend that they hadn't seen him, haha) but I had already shut one of the two open barriers they had driven through on the way in so they had to stop.

"Just doin' our job"

A few choice words from us and made them sign the Wind Turbine Site Access book for insurance and fired off an email to their bosses.....

Hope better than their face recognition systems they use/used in crowd controls?
 
They have had a multi-point email regarding this from my daughter requesting details of their authority, insurance, risk assessments etc and a copy of the images taken on our private property and a commitment to destroy the data involved with this invasion of privacy and quiet a few more pertinent questions with the threat of legal action if any information ever surfaces.

When do or are the google maps updated by this method as seems donkey's years old now !
Like street veiw ,the one where you can go up the road and swivel 360 o

We are 400 metres from a public highway but only about 150 metres from a bridle way/footpath.

Told them to get the vehicle’s suspension checked as the track they went down needs a vehicle with 200mm min of ground clearance and made it clear that we would not accept any liabilities.
