Stopping taggers / graffiti

[Jai]

whilst i sympathise with you, may i offer up a caution too?

whilst i see that they are trespassing to cause criminal damage, there is a case to say that what you are doing could be construed as laying a trap for them, itself illegal....i would bet a months mortgage that should one of the angels hearing or brains be "damaged" by your invention, that they and liberty wouldn't hesitate to get medival on your ass.

something to consider

Does the 'reasonable force' line not apply to get rid of trespassers now ?

Or what about 1 of these :devil:

that old line....sigh, where's that can of worms, ah...here we are.
so, reasonable force, the usual accepted application is by a person, acting to an incident they are involved in. the usage of equipment, as outlined, isn't, it's prepared and set up in advance, it doesn't make a judgement about how to proceed, it simply does as it is set up. therein lies libertys arguement.

here's an example that should put it into context, for those of us old enough to remember...

beastie boys, yes them what encouraged a generation to rip a vw off a golf....i recall a bloke wired his battery to the grille badge, and when discovered was prosecuted, but i can't remember what for exactly, maybe a more learned friend could assist?

in which case just keep quiet about it, and when the court papers are served destroy all evidence of such a device even existing.

You could get one of the Spot lights that is triggered by movement, so when they go near it startles them when it turns on... or get a little buzzer next to the cctv, set it to beep every 15mins, when it does one will look round and you'll get his face on camera
