A copper once told me, on the quiet of course, that if some scumbag breaks into your house, drag the fcuker upstairs to beat him up. According to form it's a much greater offence to be upstairs due to the potential of kids being asleep, whether there's any kids in there or not. The law will treat you more leniently then (FFS why does the law always lean towards the criminal's fcuking rights !?!
).
I think the cops are as pissed off about the sh1te laws as the rest of us.
I'd guess this won't matter if ya live in a bungalow...
