Infact, police aren't interested in rural theft, fly tipping, fraud, nor internet scams.
No MOT however, or wrong coloured straps holding straw on a trailer.........


Evening all........ :X3:
Seems to be council who try catch them with camera's, not police, then hand evidence to police.
Trouble is need to catch them doing it, not just vehicle going down road.
Neighbor caught raised tipper coming away from a pile of rubbish.
As did not see them actually top it, no way to prosecute.

But I don't get why police dont get involved when its cannabis farm waste.
We have it dumped on average once a week.
Cannabis factories a problem near here, leading to gang warfare. ( this is south Yorkshire not London !!)
So why dont police set up surveillance to can those dumping the drug waste to trace them back up the chain...?

Tell me about it? everytime a new development, housing estate, barns complex conversions into housing makes it worse? worse for everyone in farming, but livestock farmers come out far worse, dog walkers, have you got them? try keeping them out, that is both the people and the dogs? fence cutting, damaged fencing, gates either stolen? left open or broken open? dog mess, dog mess tied neatly up in plastic bags then artisticly arranged like christmas tree decorations on trees and bushes, people whos gardens back on to your fields dumping rubbish over the hedge into your grazing fields, or think they have a "right" to make a doorway through the hedge into your field? Ive had all this and alot more over the years, i can see this getting alot worse with many areas just not being able to keep any livestock for many of the mentioned reasons and more?

I couldn't bear it.
Bad enough with the dog walkers at my old place all over the show and tbh they weren't really doing any harm.
My new place is away from all that bollox thank goodness. For now at least.

Police seem to be sh!t hot on using cameras to catch those who haven't got insurance. Why not use the same to catch littering dirty barstewards ? Fly tippers vehicles impounded and crushed might concentrate minds.....

In Co Durham, the Council put up cameras to catch the reg no's of the vehicles dumping the litter and they prosecute the driver in charge of the vehicle getting fined and crush the vehicle.

Amazon van drivers full stop. We have a warehouse near us.

I had a load of crap thrown out in a gateway by an amazon delivery van last summer. It included paperwork for his entire route plus his left over lunch and other crap.

I took pictures of it and sent it over to Amazon on social media, had them on the phone within 15 mins apologising and saying he would be dealt with....

I regularly collect bags of rubbish from the verge.
