On the subject of pulling the DNO fuse.

Trespass is a civil matter generally a Tort.


DNOs have a statutory right of entry but they need a warrant to exercise that right.


Various other bodies have statutory rights of entry but most need a warrant. Police have powers of entry that may be exercises without a warrant. A lot of legislation has the magic words " a constable may enter without warrant". Of course constables have the sworn duty to enter premises without warrant to prevent a breach of the Queens Peace  and to arrest a person and bring that person before a Justice to be dealt with under the Justice of the Peace Act of 1361 which is I think the oldest piece of legislation in daily use. Old law is still good law.


There are lots of useful powers under the Vagrancy Act 1824 such as being on enclosed premises or in any yard for an unlawful purpose. I saw one of my favorites the other day on the underground with a women exposing a leg injury claiming it was a third degree burn whilst on my way to a meeting at the IET. She was asking for money and pointing to her leg wound, a clear case of "exposing wounds or deformities with intent to gather alms" contrary to the Vagrancy Act 1924. 


Strange there is no statutory offence of murder. Offenders are charged under common law with the words, "contrary to the Queens Peace".
