the more worrying thing is a law woolier than the sheep in the fields that can be interpreted however the nimby brigade wish it to be.
it basically gives cops, council officers and whatever nimbys may be around with mobiles (dog walkers etc) carte blanche to watch and monitor all movements of vehicles in the area and report them to the authorities
– and for the black rats to take all sorts of action including random patrols, searches, confiscation of vehicles…
It just shows though how fragile certain “rights” actually are, and how they are interlinked with having the power of being a landowner or farmer; and how powerful the rural nimbys can be…
then again for both parties and 4×4 drivers wasn’t the problem that everyone just piled in and rinsed the area bare, creating a local yokel backlash (like everywhere else in this country?)
a modern “tragedy of the commons”
