Protecting my stuff

Reading here it seems to me Bailiffs are happy to break all the rules and laws.

 

They need properly regulated, with harsh punishments (jail) if the violate the rules.

 

Imo The problem has occured due to the expansion of their business in the last 15 years , council tax , decrimminalised parking , congestion charge fines , these things simply did not exist before and have created a massive industry , add to that the explosion in credit , and there is too much work to go around and hence be regulated and the "bailiffs' know it . These are not the bailiffs of the old days , its a cowboy industry a wild west frontier . No one in the govt cares because the income streams from the above were created by them to fund local govt. on the sly, and without rigid enforcement no one would pay a parking ticket . Therefore the sub bailiffs can whack on charges with impunity , and the police are plain confused or not bothered , and the councils are complicit , But hey cheer up , remember they work for us .

Section 27 of the Domestic Crimes Violence & Victims Act 2004 excludes enforcement officers from criminal liability.

 

Could you give more detail please , "criminal liability ' seems pretty vague , it infers they can do whatever they choose , in whatever they consider their duties , that can't be right .

It is to redifine what police call "enter by force".

 

It amends the Magistrates Courts Act 1980 so a bailiff cannot be criminally liable if he causes injury to a person while enforcing a debt. It was passed after debtors were going to police to charge bailiffs under the offences Against the Person Act 1861 when they push past a debtor to gain entry to a property.

 

It does not exclude a bailiff from a civil liability under the personal injury protocol. Both the bailiff and his firm can still be sued for personal injury

 

Thank you , so they can push you out of the way to gain access in an open doorway ? What happens if you push back ?
