Anyone managed to have trespassers charged?

This is why the cops interview people. It's often as simple as asking questions.

I don't know how things are up there but down here you don't have to answer any questions - a lot of times people get into trouble by talking to the police - if they just inform the police that they are going to remain silent it is pretty tough for the police to figure out what happened - any good lawyer worth his salt will tell you - Don't talk to the police - even if you did nothing wrong

Same up here. Nevertheless, people do answer questions -- it's human nature. And cops are good at spotting liars.

Even if the cops can't prove anything, the interview itself functions as a warning.

This isn't as difficult as you pretend.

Your best bet is to call the MNR and try to get the CO in your area involved.

LOL do they even exist

Yup. They do. I have been able to get one out to places in resonable time most of the times I have called. For example. Guys walking the dikes in Zone A at hullett trying to shoot ducks while there are guys at pins with decoys. Even shot over two guys at a pin. If the duck had dipped and not flared both guys at the pin could have seriously hurt or even killed.

A late post, I have not been on here since early November. Last spring during the turkey season I found 3 men hunting on my property. I called the OPP and a cop arrived about 15 mins later. All 3 were given trespassing tickets. 1 was arrested for several other offences, including not having a PAL or a turkey license.

If you're going to call the cops then you better not be making up fairytales. An A hole can be an A hole but if they haven't threatened you don't spew stupid BS because you feel it will add spice to your complaint. I say this as a guy who ran into an anti walking his dog on crown land. He made his opinion of hunting known quite irately. I unloaded my shotgun specifically while telling him I didn't want him to feel intimidated, I explained the laws, seasons and asked him if he would like to see my license. He just continued his tantrum, I told him if he wouldn't accept what I had to say then call the MNR and they will verify what I told him. Sooooo, I was greeted at the road by an OPP Officer at gunpoint demanding I "drop my weapon" you see the turd anti told the cops I threatened to kill him with my gun. It was a long, drawn out irritating experience. The MNR finally was called in, interviewed me and my companions who were spread out but trickled in as time wore on, CO told cops your complainant lied to you, these guys aren't the type to threaten and they are 100% legal and in the right. Best part was when officer pistol pointer told me I was lucky he wasn't going to charge me (with what?) and to never come back there again. My friends were spooked, I wanted a badge number for a complaint and everyone told me to shut up and not push it.
Yes, I have a problem with people who makeup lies. So no, if it's BS you're calling in its bad advice, if it's the solid truth, by all means tell it as it truly is

X2. He was right out to lunch holding an obvious hunter at gun point until he "dropped his weapon". Once he realized he'd been lied to,it was simple BS stupidity threatening charges for legal activity. That PC needed to be brought up short right then and there. The bogus complainant wouldn't have walked away without serious consequences,either. I'm not sure in what form,but,there certainly would have been something very unpleasant coming his way.

My 2 cents worth....A few years ago we were hunting my Bro- in laws bush...signed with NO TRESPASSING...Did a push...got to top end and heard bang..bang at the back end....All our guys were out...so we drive around and there are 3 guys with deer down..just getting ready to field dress it...so after a heated exchange of words...OPP and MNFR are called...and low and behold they show up...A few more words exchanged...and Bro- inlaw wants them charged....And we want the deer...Guess what..neither happened....so much for the enforcement of the laws..And that was in 89B......Just my experience with trespassers...and the law
