Question - Any lawyers around to interpret this sign I saw?

[Bertie Bollockbrains]

Hello all.

Did a site today and on the fence was a sign saying "Children keep out. You will be prosecuted" and that's the exact words it said.

It so happens that I didn't get caught, but if I had do you think I could had successfully argued with secca or in a court of law that the sign specifically referred to children and that, as a 43 year old, the sign was not an instruction in any way for me to keep out? Or would they just laugh at me.

It's a good point and I can see the argument ,
But I think you would still be in trouble.
If you got a good Lawyer you could have a case against it,
But it depends if it would hold in court as a defence.

You will always be your mums little boy, so glad you weren't caught

Im no Lawyer but I am sure that you cannot prosecute a child anyway mate, normally for kids it is a Smacked bottom and a spell on the naughty step, but I aint so sure that parents cant be prosecuted for a minors actions, so the sign is probably utter codswallop

 

[WhoDerpsWins]

Prosecuted for what exactly? I don't think it signifies any legal right(s). But then I'm I'm no lawyer.

Shall I return with my son and purposely get caught in there just to see what happens?

 

[Lord Oort]

Probably not a good idea you might get the SS involved...

 

[Bertie Bollockbrains]

Wasn't being serious but the thought of secca dragging little one away whilst I'm free to carry on exploring amuses me

 

[Lord Oort]

Nor me

Trespass law would apply, the sign could say anything really. There is no law a child could be prosecuted under for such an offence. It's one size fit's all.

I reckon it would cost more to hire the lawyer than you would be fined or sued etc haha But I do love the thought of the kids getting arrested and you waving them off and carrying on

 

[norfolkexplorer]

That is funny

 

[stranton]

I notice a sign once saying trespassers will be eaten,
that means if secca & their dogs had eaten me there wouldnt be a case

 

[ACID- REFLUX]

Children will be safely led away by Secca from a naked Adult doing selfies maybe

 

[Miss Mayhem]

I saw a sign once that said trespassers will be shot,
If you survive you will be shot again.
