Laws on climbing structures.

[Crossy]

Hi. Does anybody know the laws on climbing structures? ie, bridges, buildings, chimneys etc. Obviously, you'd think its wrong. which it is but what are the actual laws that are used against you in court if you were took if you were caught climbing something? What punishments can be given if your caught?

Cheers, Crossy

trespassing

Are you trespassing by leaning against a train station wall?

No difference then if you decide to climb it.

trespassing

Tresspassing is a civil law unless told to come down or be told to leave a site. Then it becomes criminal correct? Unless its a military or royal building?

trespassing

Im not 100% sure however I thought, its only against the law (ie arrestable) once you have a court order banning you from trespassing (or something along those lines)

[Tefal]

But what is it he's on exactly? It could be illegal.

It depends what you try and climb but if there is nothing specific about the structure that makes for climbing it to be a criminal or civil offence you may still be committing a breach of the peace due to disturbing passers-by.

Disturbing passers by? How?

Unless he was throwing bricks at them.

Cause if he falls off a tall building and hits someone they will die ?

And so the police have to close the road and keep everyone away, meaning that when he does come down he will have to be protected from a bunch of seriusly ****ed off commuters.

Also means he's wasting police time among other things.

But that's like saying if someone walks out in front of a bus the same will have to happen so they are disturbing the peace simply by walking down the road.

The law is flawed.

Partly what Tefal says but simply that if you cause the public to stare at you while climbing you are probably going to end up blocking a pavement or road and you've caused a disturbance by doing something out of the ordinary. I'm assuming here that he is talking about climbing something worthwhile and not a park bench.

Yes but thats a acident not deliberately hanging a heavy and poorly attached weight off the side of a tall building is it :/
