I can understand his frustration to, but he's breaking the law, not you.

It's not his to get territoral over. Now consider he decides the patch he's running ppl away from all of a sudden isn't good enough for him and he decides to run ppl off other patches. Best nipped in the bud I reckon. He might not be oing anywhere, but niether is the crown land his property borders. He's just gotta get used to truth.
If the boys in blue find it a bit of a chore,... emails to your local member(and others)as well as the police minister and the media(all sent at once) gets a ball rolling, as when they get it it also shows who else got the email, the fact that there are a few high profilers on it as well as the media will get them swinging into action in a polite and thorough manner.bend said:Chewy said:I never went there anyway either, I think you are missing the point.

You're right about that, but as I've said on 4umer I'd not like to see anyone shot because we underestimated the threat. I'm pursuing the matter through the police and trying to find out more about him and whether or not he's a real threat or just a blowhard before taking any action that might put myself or anyone else in danger. Hopefully putting a bit of pressure on the blues to actually do something will be enough in any case, it's certainly the outcome I'd prefer.
As far as it goes a list of dangerous idiots is actually a pretty good idea, we might be in the right but it doesn't help much when they pop up out of nowhere and start making threats. Forewarning that they're in the area is a good idea, especially if you're thinking about trying somewhere you haven't been before or somewhere remote.

I agree,.. It's an avenue that should not be abused or used lightly at all,....as it's just a failsafe tool to use when nothing is going to happen regardless of tactics used,....very effective strategy that I learned by direct observation of a politician and how they were using it to cause a certain huge business to be caused to jump into action so that no negative media attention could arise from a lack of direct action.(that's why they sent it to all concerned plus the politicians involved directly and indirectly as well as the media).GypsyGoldAu said:silver said:If the boys in blue find it a bit of a chore,... emails to your local member(and others)as well as the police minister and the media(all sent at once) gets a ball rolling, as when they get it it also shows who else got the email, the fact that there are a few high profilers on it as well as the media will get them swinging into action in a polite and thorough manner.
Trouble with this way of doing things (if tales of the local "blue" reputation is true) is it sets the complainant up as a future target for the "blue" to have fun with.... they will see it as a dent in their pride and look to get even.
I think the OP is going the right way about it myself, then "if ALL ELSE" fails" perhaps this would be a LAST resort in my opinion.

If its deeper ground then maybe a GPX5000 or GPZ7000. Bearing in mind these machine take a bit of learning so you may not get the best out of them over a cpl of days.
