Tolerance to crime

[Grahameeboy]

We get damage to vehicles on the Shore, thefts too, it's an issue all over this god-foresaken greater Auckland region. If it's not the 'southern' low-life's coming over the bridge to pilfer coz they think we're all wealthy, it's the spoilt brats crapping in their own nest coz they're bored, drunk, drugged up or all three.

What do you do? There's no easy/quick fix.

I caught some vandals red-handed a couple of summers ago and we called the cops. They were onsite pretty quickly but I knew there would be lame penalties for the perp's. I gave one of them a few short, sharp shocks and maybe that's against the law but he and his mates haven't been back. I think the cops knew what I'd done and maybe the kid blabbed, I don't know but I was never charged with anything.

I'd do it again too. More quick justice is needed instead of soft-cock counselling, diversion and suchlike. You get harsher penalties for speeding than you do for wrecking public/private property. You can't balme the kids, they have no boundaries.

Yep some youths threw things at my front door one night...I ran after them and most unlike them, threw them both in the nearby bush and left them there.....3 days later I had a letter from them saying how sorry they were as they had been drinking......

That works on the little rich kids being a bit mischevious, but fuck that with the wannabe gansta's hanging around at the moment.

Having had some one pull a heavy duty chain and start swinging at me, having been sucker punched and knocked out, and having seen knives pulled on people, I've decided from now on the only time I'll approach these scum is with the element of surprise and/or a weapon.

Yeah yeah i need to harden up....

Ive never had any problems with crime and living on the shore.

However, I know pitbulls are great deternts, if you MUST park on the street, let ur pitbull sleep in side you car. Leave the window down far enough for him to get his head out but not jump out.

Also see if you can put some type of walkie talkie under/in you car that transmits to your bedroom, that way when the dog is killing the scums you can watch.

AAAAAAAA you need a batch of scumbegone

Recipe (serves 5, approx 20 mins prep time)
Water (plenty)
Bucket (x1)
Flour
Handcuffs x 5
Friends x 5
Big bit of card or plywood
Paint
Brush
Pizza
Coke
Old rotten tomatoes - free from local grocer (aka Pig food)
Photographer
Balaclavas (1 per friend - optional but effective)
Friendly Journalist

1. Paint a sign "low ife theiving scum - and free tomatoes!"
2. Park target car down road, away from any easy association with you house. Leave windows slightly down
3. Eat pizza, drink coke with mates while quietly waiting
4. Don Balaclavas. They're optional but help with anonymity, and putting the shits up the little bastard
5. Outnumber said scum, and handcuff them a lamppost. They don't mind sharing at all. Try cuffing feet too if they get boistrous.
6. Take photos of their faces. Make sure you get nice clear shots identifying their faces, as well as full body shots. Take your time - they're not going anywhere.
7. Add water, by the bucket full. Pour it on the keenly waiting low life scums. Don't get it on yourself - makes the next step very messy.
8. Add flour.
9. More Photos
10. Put sign close, out of reach, next to tomatoes
11. Allow passers by to assist, ensuring tomatoes are "vigorously applied"
12. More photos (no inocent faces please)
13. Walk casually off.
14. Find PC, write a short note describing the incident. Save as "Readme.txt"
15. Burn note and photos to CDs.
16. Post CDs to Friendly Journos, TV3 and anyone else willing to discuss the incident (talkback radio perhaps - or the paper?)

That's it from memory... if you've done it right they'll be done in about an hour, the cops will show up and set them free while pissing themselves laughing.

Legally you can make a citizens arrest for any crime at night time, which is I believed classed as 9pm?

And where's the fun in that?

"scuse me mate... you're nicked - oh... you don;t WANT to be nicked... oo sorry - I'll be off then".

Vs. whack thump bang - handcuffed to the lamp post, watered, floured and photographed.

Thats cool, glad I amused you......didn't get stabbed last time someone pulled a knife on me and asked for money in Wolverhampton a few years (well about 12) ago......broken arm for assailant.....assume he went to hospital cause I just left him there.....when you do martial arts you get treated like a crim even in self defence so didn't want the hassle.

Not something I liked doing either but had little choice..........gave up soon after..........

Memories from your Stag night?.....

Mammories from your Stag night?.....

No - but you should see the plans involving taggers and a tin of paint stripper!

That's not entirely true.

You can only legally make a citizens arrest if the crime is punishable by three or more years of imprisonment, and the person is attempting to escape from the person making the arrest.

Firstly that makes no sense.

You can only arrest them if they are making an escape of you arresting them? So if they go along willingly you have to let them go?


And you can make the arrest for ANY crime at night time. The 4 year rule applys during the day. So if you see a jay walker at night (which I think is after 9pm and before 5am).....
