This is a link to an article in the local paper today.

It seems that the police are to take drastic action at dogging sites in Northumberland and Durham. It's worth a read.
Pesonally we think dogging should be way down in the list of 'must do's' for the police, but there you go, just like motorists - easy targets. |

Many police officers will do this, because they dont like doggers about, but I think that you will find that dogging is not illegal, and that you cant be lifted for it, providing that you are in a public place and not overlooked by anyone.
Of course thats not to say that they are not above having you for something else like worn tyres etc, in order to put the fear into you

I admit we are not big on dogging, but as I understand it, the rules are that it has to take place on pubic property,[on private would be tresspass, in England],.. it cant be overlooked by anyone of anything, and mustnt be in a place where the general public walk, or can come across you.
The only time we went dogging we had two patrol cars come through the area, very slowly and on side lights, they didnt stop and then left.
I cannot swear I am correct, but this was what I once read on a site called `Melanies` a few years ago, that is quite big on dogging

I read this part and altho its from 2004 it made me chukkle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locations include a lay-by near the viaduct at Bishop Auckland, a picnic area on A68 at Crook, and on the A66, eastbound from Darlington towards Stockton, “a long layby, set back from road, about half-way between Darlington and Stockton. Late nights around 11.30, various activity including male/female couples
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It sounded more like an advert for dogging in detail. pmsl
I wish other would find better things to do than complain, I bet those that are complaining just arn't getting any sex. lol |

Have to admit, we love a bit of outdoor fun, and we agree that the police should have better things to do, but while we have boy racers tearing around most places, and dogger’s who cant be arsed cleaning up there mess, as well as the ones who just don’t give a shit and are happy to go out during daytimes and don’t care who sees them, then its just going to get worse. |

Hi ive just found this on the net..
Think it helps a little..
2003 Sex Act, Section 66 "Exposure".
(1) A person commits an offence if :-
(a) he intentionally exposes his genitals, and
(b) he intends that someone will see them and be caused alarm or distress.
(2) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable :-
(a) on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or both;
(b) on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years.
2003 Sex Act, Section 67 "Voyeurism".
(1) A person commits an offence if :-
(a) for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, he observes another person doing a private act, and
(b) he knows that the other person does not consent to being observed for his sexual gratification.
(2) A person commits an offence if :-
(a) he operates equipment with the intention of enabling another person to observe, for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, a third person (B) doing a private act, and
(b) he knows that B does not consent to his operating equipment with that intention.
(3) A person commits an offence if :-
(a) he records another person (B) doing a private act,
(b) he does so with the intention that he or a third person will, for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, look at an image of B doing the act, and
(c) he knows that B does not consent to his recording the act with that intention.
(4) A person commits an offence if he installs equipment, or constructs or adapts a structure or part of a structure, with the intention of enabling himself or another person to commit an offence under subsection (1).
(5) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable :-
(a) on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or both;
(b) on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years.
So, in plain English the two main points to consider are:
Under section 66, the issue is intent to cause distress or alarm, so as long as you take sensible measures to not be viewed by innocent by-standers like choosing remote areas for your meetings and preferably late at night then IN THEORY you are making no malicious intent to cause distress or alarm.
Under section 67, the important thing is to make certain you have received an obvious invitation to watch people dogging, it's all about consent, so as long as you aren't deliberately sneaking up on 'non-dogging' courting couples who had no intention of being watched by anyone then IN THEORY you should be okay.
Please note that these laws apply to the UK only and that this information is published only as a brief guideline and shouldn't be relied upon as any kind of defense.
