Police not allowed in to traveller site
#32
Drugs?
And are you aware that caravans can and do have the cris number on the roof?
Since when were pikey sites private property? They are mostly council owned...the carvans are private, yes, the site no.
You are wriggling, but sorry, your cowardly lot are firmly on the hook for this one, LOL
Get back behind your speed camera now...

Some sites are privately owned and there is nothing you can do to get around it.
I'm not wriggling, I'm not a coward and I don't have a speed camera to hide behind. What I do have is a set of laws which I have to follow - unless you of course know of another entry power for this one?

Yes, you have a potential lead. But to enter a premises or part of a premises you have to have a power to search, such as a warrant or power under PACE.
And there are various sections of each element that you need to satisfy to be able to use the power.
Its not as easy as saying - I have a lead, therefore I can do what I like to investigate it.

Lots of excuses there to warrant a search. See your at your old law crap again get on with it and do your job.

So why don't you investigate it and if it turns something up you then get a search warrant to search the place.
Are you saying that you as a cop could not come into my garden and ask me questions about a caravan parked on my property without a search warrant?

also it states ".....A police officer has powers to stop and search you if they have ‘reasonable grounds’ to suspect you’re carrying a stolen item....."
In this case (although it relates to property as scoobypaul states) you can not state that the caravan is in there with any certainty.
You can't just say we have a belief in order to go on a fishing trip around someone property.
Frustrating, maybe - but that's the way the law is.

No, we can't enter property unless we have a power to do so. We can ask you about your caravan but you can refuse to answer.

My car gets torched
Police come out and want to take it for forensics with there recovery people who lift uninsured cars etc at this time I take the coppers badge number etc and tell him I do have sources to have it lifted away for safety reasons but NO they need it for forensics
I get a phone call asking me to remove my vehicle from a compound at a cost of £650!!!!
I tells them it's the police who took it but no I've to pay the RECOVERY charges and the fackin STORAGE!!!
Rings the police they tell me they can't do anything blah blah blah
Lesson is I should have filmed the dirty lying ****** when he said " no you will not pay any charges as we are taking the vehicle for forensics" or atleast got it in writing
The travellers and the police are just the same IN MY OPINION I wouldn't ask any of the both for there services ....
don't trust any of the both and you can't go far wrong
SCOOBYTEKNIX from Blackpool sides helped me out at the time by buying the Subaru and getting it released in the end who I still rate very highly
It's just FILTH I tell you FILTH.....
Few pics to end my 20p's worth

Your insurance should have covered that.
Did this happen on your drive? If so, there is no need to get it recovered for forensics as it could have been done there - the scene being the most important aspect of it as apposed to the car - you're not going to get much from the car in any case.
If its a police decision to lift it, then we cover the costs. I would go back and complain.

I live in a traveller's caravan now, and have visited many sites across the south and Midlands whilst buying my caravan. I've met good and bad over the years as a landscaper. But the bottom line is that they generally operate on a skued playing field, fly tipping whilst I pay a waste carrier licence and large tipping fee, working for cash and not paying tax, selling stolen or counterfeit power tools door to door.
The Police are not prepared to commit the resources necessary to enter sites because they will first have to deal with stone throwing children, and then adults who have fought for fun from childhood.
Chris registration is done on windows, not roofs, though maybe that is an idea. I visited many caravans that had just had the doors or lights stolen, and live in fear of a visit ; we've already had one bloke in a brand new van poking about, despite being a mile up a track, invisible from any roads. No insurer will cover a euro spec caravan. I wonder why.

If you read what I have written, I am saying that we probably didn't have a power to enter.
We have traveller sites where we are and I have had no problems entering and dealing with anything we need to where necessary and lawful. There's no difference to this and entering various houses on estates to sort things out where necessary and lawful.

So if a bunch of pikeys rip off a field gate and occupy a farmers field can farmer enter field and start ploughing it up? Perhaps digging a trench around a few new Range Rovers to prevent their removal? Could he invite cops onto his land?

You can, but you need a power to do so - for example, section 18 of PACE can be done without a search warrant so long as it satisfies certain criteria. Section 17 gives you a power to enter etc etc
