Castles under Siege
In the moonbat madhouse formerly known as Great Britain, you don't have to shake a stick at spoliating hooligans to get in trouble with police; just taking their picture is enough:
David Green, 64, and his neighbours had been plagued by the youths from a nearby comprehensive school for months, and was advised by their headmaster to identify them so action could be taken.
But when Mr Green left his £1million London flat to take photographs of the gang, who were aged around 17, he said one threatened to kill him while another called the police on his mobile.
And he claimed that a Police Community Support Officer sent to the scene promptly issued a warning that taking pictures of youths without permission was illegal, and could lead to a charge of assault.
That will teach Mr. Green for not being more stoic about the rocks the punks have been throwing at his apartment.
If a man's home is his castle, not even moats would make British homes safe. A worse threat even than a generation of snot-nosed brats raised in a climate of pure moonbattery is the liberal authorities who engineered the whole mess. Britain now features 1,043 laws that can be used as pretexts for Big Brother's agents to force their way into your home or business. Half of them have been introduced since the country disastrously fell to Labour 11 years ago.
For example, the authorities have granted themselves the privilege of kicking down your door so as to seize your refrigerator if it doesn't have the correct energy rating. It's duties like this that keep them too busy to deal with minor annoyances like packs of thugs throwing rocks through your windows.
On tips from Oiao.

The photo is priceless. Will the Mail get in trouble for publishing it? You know, what about the rights of those innocent youts?!

It's officially over - Britain has completely lost the plot. How you can have a society where you have photographic evidence of a crime and they yell at YOU for taking the picture is beyond misplaced priorities, it is complete dumbassery.

This is rich. The subjects of the UK will submit to the hoodlums, or else. And don't even think about protecting yourself. Pretty soon, the poor subjects of the UK will be forbidden from locking their doors, lest a burglar injure himself attempting to get through the door to collect what, apparently, is "rightfully" his.

The PCSO (plastic policeman they are usually termed here) was simply wrong. Mr Green should have simply carried on, and then complained to his local police about this PCSO. There is nothing to stop anyone taking a photo from a public space or his own property (apart from the obvious, of secret locations or illegal subject, which fully-clothed people of any age is not).
This is the ignorance of an individual, and bad attitude among the usual small men with slight authority, not a systematic problem in the UK.

I am cheered by the knowlege that soon (Maybe in my life-time) someone will shout "ENOUGH!" and then we'll be treated to news footage of men (and women) walking down the street towards these young snots and the muslims, shotguns, broomsticks and bats in hand, Woody Guthry's "Vigalante Man" playing in the background.
