Trespassers Will Not Be Prosecuted


You cannot fool children with long words. By the time they are big enough to climb over a wall, they have learned that the sign that the sign that says "Trespassers will be Prosecuted" is an empty threat.

Tresspass is not a crime in England, and you can only prosecute someone if they cause damage to your property - whoever you are.

In 1982 a young Londoner called Michael Fagan decided to pay an uninvited call on a woman he admired greatly, Queen Elizabeth. In the middle of the night he hopped over the wall of Buckingham Place, shinned up a drainpipe and slipped through an open window.

He helped himself to a glass of wine in the kitchen and then made his way to the royal bedroom, where he chatted to the surprised and sleppy Queen for a quarter of an hour.

The place detectives eventually led him away. But he was prosecuted for only one offence - stealing a glass of wine.
