I know that this all comes down to evidence, but the outcomes of the following two stories from the BBC website have annoyed me...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-18536940

^ This guy gets three years for saying something stupid on Facebook.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-18539160

^ Nothing happens to the owner of a dog who attacks a five-year-old girl.

Shed owners warned wire on windows could hurt burglarsl

I am afraid this advice is not a recent development. 40 years ago I was advised by the local plod that putting barbed wire along the top of my garden fence could leave me open to prosecution should someone become impaled ,inadvertently or otherwise.His recommendation was to plant a pyracantha hedge along the boundary which is just as lethal but legally acceptable.
My only update is to take care when pruning. rolleyes.gif
