...how much erm...force am I allowed to use?
I know that I can beat or stab a burglar to protect the safety of myself, family or property, but what about my mobile property, ie. my bikes?
Is it OK to come up behind and batter them with a length of scaffold pole, or do they have to attack me first? Can I even use a scaffold pole?! Hitting with fists is really painful! :?
Having had a bike stolen, and experiencing the red mist as I prowled the streets looking for the thief, I doubt I'd be restrained, even though I'm a mild-mannered man, and I'd either end up getting hurt, or badly hurting the thief. Is 'hunting' the thief even allowed, if you then use force to recover your bike? :twisted:
