aggravated trespass
Mar 14, 2003, 14:18
oh yes there *is* an offence, especially if there's shooting going on nearby:

Aggravated Trespass
The offence of aggravated trespass is committed when a person:

• trespasses on land;

• when a lawful activity is taking place on that land or land nearby;

• and he or she does anything intending to intimidate, obstruct or disrupt that activity.

The offence, under section 68 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 , goes hand-in-hand with powers to prevent protesters joining an aggravated trespass. The powers are similar to the exclusion zone powers for trespassory assemblies. Once protesters are within a five-mile radius exclusion zone they can be turned back, and can be arrested and charged with an offence if they refuse to comply. The offences carry imprisonment of up to three months or a fine of up to £2,500.
