what's the legality of this situation?

[White trash]

You return from the movies/dinner/pub to find some bastard in the process of stealing your pride and joy.

A shiny GSXR1000K3 half loaded into the back of a van.

You beat seven shades of shit.....I mean, he repeatedly falls on his face while you're waiting for Spud, Scumdog and the boys to arrive and collect the looser.

I know technically, you could be in a world of shit, but would you realisticaly be charged with anything?

[750Y]

beat the f*%$k outa them

[White trash]

beat the f*%$k outa them

Thanks for that, D. We've already done that, I'm wondering what happens to ya after you've beaten the shit outta them?

[Ms Piggy]

Wouldn't it be his word against yours? I mean if there were no witnesses...

Unbelievable... Did you leave any teeth behind on the mofo?

[Coyote]

Thing is, according to law, the bastard has rights aswell. You probebly have heard of the robber hurting himself during a robbery and getting a million bucks from the home owners

[Riff Raff]

Sadly, I suspect you would be in deep doo doos, despite the fact that the bastard deserved it.

[marty]

it's all about degrees WT. call it pre-emptive strike. maybe he had a weapon. maybe he had mates. did he make a complaint? did you make a complaint? did the feds turn up?

No, no! You misunderstand young 'Racer.

This is Hypo-theoretical-thingy-ma-jig. I'm real carefull 'bout where and when I leave my baby.

Just wondering 'cause of the recent bike walk abouts issue in Wgtn is all.

Need to know where I stand just in case.

[Death 'N' Taxes]

You're right. Technically you would be in a world of sh*t.

When defending personal property, you can use reasonable force provided that you do not strike or do bodily harm to the person.

But if they tried to smack you, then you can use reasonable force to defend yourself (without the no striking restriction).

Also, if you are defending your dwelling, you can use reasonable force (again without the striking restriction)

Then you get into the whole "what is reasonable argument".

I guess it all depends on how hard the guy wanted to push for charges to be laid and whether the boys in blue considered it was worthwhile and whether it could be proven that you used excessive force.

Any ideas from our local KB members of the Constabulary?

[marty]

he would need to make a complaint of assault. he can be asked if he wants to make one, but there is no compulsion

[outlawtorn]

Just tell the fuzz that he repteadedly fell of the back of his pick-up while you were trying to unload your bike.

If it's your word again his you could say that you had to physically wrestle the bike from him and prevent him from trying to steal it, during which he assaulted you and you retaliated and fear of losing your bike and being beaten buy this pig-fucking-shit-eater made you resort to further physical tactics. Or some such wording like that.....

Did you puncture his tyres?
Scratch his pickup?
Smash his lights (and bulbs)?
Tear of his side mirrors?
Put sugar (or some such equal like dirt and stones) into his fuel tank?

.........

[Blakamin]

I seen him swing at ya!!!!

Assault is illegal. On no account should you rough 'em up as they will testify against you. Far better to whack 'em full of lead poisoning. Make sure they're dead mofo's

Or kidnap and terrorise them for a few months.

[outlawtorn]

Just read that this was a "hypo-scenario"
