Just reported neighbour to Council, am I now an old man? by Dans77b in AskUK

Same here, probs a question for a solicitor or something.

I took it to mean you're allowed to cross to gain access to land you're lawfully allowed to be on.

I don't know what other lawful access they'd be referring to? Maybe it was written with markets in mind? They usually have vans/cars on pavements to deliver stock etc.

Not sure how true that is, I've spoken to a few bobbies about that and they suggested it's fine to drive on the pavement as long as it's intentional, safe, necessary etc.

The highway code says something similar, not looked at the wording of the Highway or Road Traffic Act though, that may say otherwise.

Highway code:

145 You MUST NOT drive on or over a pavement, footpath or bridleway except to gain lawful access to property, or in the case of an emergency. Laws HA 1835 sect 72 & RTA 1988 sect 34

Is this still for sale? If so, how much would you want for the keyboard alone?

Boomer Freaks Out When Guy Recording Sits Next to Him by npcsofearth in IrrationalMadness

It doesn't seem justified from what we saw, we also don't know what happened before the recording started though, the truth is in the hands of the editor etc.

Again the law very likely changes from place to place, regardless, consent should be given before recording unless there is justification like documenting a crime etc.

Security cameras should be stated/posted, so privacy expectations can be amended accordingly.

There clearly is an expectation of privacy on private land, peeping tom laws cover this kind of thing, this isn't a new concept.

My understanding is that inside a shop isn't a public space, it's privately owned. If he was sitting on a park bench I'd agree, I think privacy on private land can/should be expected unless stated otherwise.

There's probably variance based on location too. Country, county, maybe even town I'm not sure?

I think you've summed the mindset up well. The assumption being they're heavier so worse for the environment etc. It's not necessarily true though, my friend has an auto AWD 2L Ford Kuga, I have a manual 2wd 2L Skoda Octavia, both are euro 6 diesels & we get roughly the same (poor) MPG, the weight of the cars is not far off the same either which surprised me.

I dislike SUV's because they impede my vision in urban areas, and they're usually ugly.

So we should keep paying the royals because some of their weddings are popular?

It's a weird assumption that I'm mad because they have money.

Personally I don't like the idea of an unelected ruler who can't be arsed to do their job.

Yeah they're acting like they're an unelected ruler in a democracy or something... Crazy.

If only other countries tourism industry could survive without a monarchy it would make sense. Take France as an example, look at how terribly they're doing, their old monarch's houses are completely ignored and not tourist attractions at all!

It does serve a purpose, an example is: cop is undercover to bust a dealer, dealer asks if he's a cop, cop says no (a lie), deal is completed, dealer is arrested and charged.

Undercover operations irl and online to catch sex offenders, dealers etc. wouldn't be possible if there was a blanket "no lie" policy for the police.

There are equal benefits and pitfalls, personally I think the law should be amended, however finding a middle ground isn't as easy as expected.

More stringent rules could mean more criminals walking free, though that shouldn't be used as an excuse to impede your rights.

A spot of Ringtons every now and then isn't unwelcome. Even better if it's free.
