Distancing rule breakers report or not?

By *andAuk OP Couple over a year ago

leeds

We've seen our neighbours constantly breaking the rules. Having people around for drinks and the likes. This is not a one off but happens pretty much every day. We're really annoyed as not seen friends and family for months but but these people are just going about daily life as normal. One neighbour is even shielding but has people around all of the time. Today they were even saying that things will be good if everyone sticks to social distancing when they were breaking the rules themselves as a group of 6 from 3 different households.

Just wondered if you would call the police or not? At the end of the day been neighbours makes it difficult as don't want to stir things up. Then on the other hand they're breaking the law. Really don't know what to do

If I was reporting the rule breakers I would be spending half the day everyday on the phone, because I'm seeing so much of it. So no I'm not going to start reporting them.

It's a tough call, I know of people who have broken but when I weighed it up I thought no because they were close family and it was a one off. On the other hand I have see groups of youths driving around and trespassing on an old airfield on a regular basis and have reported...

I'd rather call as I can withhold my details as they don't need them. Online you need to fill in alsorts. Even tried through a proxy last week but wouldn't let me on. Big brother tracking everything

Start meeting your friends and family too if that's what's bothering you.

They're not "breaking the law", just not following the BS advice anymore, like myself, because the risks are so minimal.

To be honest, people uninfected, not social distancing are (on balance) putting themselves at more risk than others.

Obviously a different matter if you are showing symptoms and should be self-isolating...

My ex and I are breaking the rules of social distancing. My daughter has gone into hospital and we are swapping the grandchildren. By the book we shouldn't, but it would be bloody tough.

Most forces are not enforcing it as the laws surrounding it are so vague. It's unlikely you will get any kind of response from your local force.

It's not them being lazy it's just the fact there's so many loopholes and people not adhering to the rules that make it pointless to try and police.

The rules still enforceable by law state that you can't have people around at your house. You can only meet 1 other person from another household in a public place such as a park and at a 2m distance. More annoyed at the shielding neighbour treating it like a holiday off work on full pay whilst others are having to be in the firing line. Sure the company they work for wouldn't be too happy about this either and a visit from the police may just shake them up to this point.

You cant stop the idiots being idiots and unfortunately nor can the police. I would just avoid any contact with any of them so you keep yourself safe; I hope they don't catch the damned virus and I hope no one they know does, or they may regret their actions !

I have now lost two good friends to this, one from Leeds so its out there, stay safe and leave them to their misguided idea of invulnerability.

Don't let it bother you. If they infect or get infected it will more likely be within their own circle of friends.

You could always tactfully mention something in passing. They maybe unaware of the current advice, unlikely but you never know.

I see the same thing with my neighbour. We have a communal driveway.

I just ignore them if I'm passing.

If they spread it among themselves it's their problem.

These people are breaking the rules, but not breaking the law at all. Social distancing is not a law at the moment. They will have a hard time covicting or prosecuting anyone of this especially now that the rules have been relaxed. people go to work every day and sit in an office full of other people and police will have to prove that these people are not keeping a 2m social distance

I think this desire to tell on people is perhaps the worst bit of lockdown. The thing is there is very little that is actually law.

Personally I wouldn't. Although I do hear your frustration and that feeling of unfairness.

I don't think we need to be acting against eachother in this time.

Everyone has differing opinions and differing circumstances right now and given the amount of uncertainty around just about everything, it's hard to know for sure who is making the right judgement on what is 'safe' or acceptable.

Maybe just keep on doing what you feel is best in your world and focus on what you can control.

And there it isn't! I've been furloughed and Mrs has reduced her hours. I want to return to work so long as it's safe. I just feel that this neighbour who isn't on furlough as shielding, so is on authorised leave on full pay is abusing the situation. Shielding is for those more vulnerable so if they catch it are then more of a drain on the system. I just think if they're OK to have visitors and parties they should go back to work. Sadly duty of care prevents this, but if abusing the system they should be dealt with using the correct disciplinary procedures. Just the same as if somebody throws a sicky and is paid company sick pay and then caught out, they'd face the same action.

But this person isn't on furlough they are on authorised absence on full company pay due to shielding. So completely different and they could potentially receive disciplinary action for breaking the rules. As they're still on the payroll they have to stick to the H&S policies as well as any other company policies and this no doubt is a major breach. I'm sure if you paid a staff member full sick pay and later found out they'd had your pants down you'd see it differently and deal with it appropriately.

Still their choice what they do though. If they abuse the system and get found out, it's their problem. I think people should just be less nosey and leave people be. If his boss finds out, let him deal with it. Why make it your bussiness?

"These people are breaking the rules, but not breaking the law at all. Social distancing is not a law at the moment."

The highway code is only a guide as to how we should use the highways. It does state this in the book or at least the copy I have and there's also a section for pedestrians to follow in there as well. You see plenty of folk been fined for breaches of these guidelines.

Think I'll just play it by ear tomorrow, but think we'll end up calling the police. Both our parents are shielding and these are peoples lives they're playing with. If one of them catches it then passes it to the group that's 6 people straight away. This neighbour has home deliveries and has been interacting with those drivers as well so they then pass it on...

We've always been asked to report underhand behaviour. If you have a crack den next door with dirty needles in the garden you'd not report your neighbour to anybody?

So the overall conclusion and feeling is that we should just let everyone get on with it and mind our own business, turn a blind eye as such?

If that's what society dictates so be it we guess.

Reading most of the comments on here I'm assuming that most of you aren't following guidance either as you seem pretty blasé about people doing whatever they like "because it's their choice".

Pretty sure if you lost a family member due to them getting infected by a selfish fucker you'd think differently.

The "let them do what they want and look after yourself" attitude is poor IMO. We're all in this together so it's about time large sections of society learned to respect their fellow citizens and not just think "me, me, me".

Well depends on how you word it. As the big clause that is for everyone is you must do all you can to save any extra work for our NHS and other emergency services.

So like I am my mums carer but don't live with her, if I don't drive down to her and sort her out then the NHS would have to. If you didn't help with the children then they could technically ware the other person out and leave the children in danger. So think you see what I mean.

Report EVERYTHING and EVERYONE who 'breaks the rules'....every little detail of every single incident. That way the system will either crash into oblivion or the folks in charge will get so pissed off chasing up every person that stands less than 6ft away from another person. So go on! Flood the call centres, demand police action and waste as much of their time as possible. That way 'da roolz' will become irrelevant and obsolete and therefore allowing society to function normally again....

No, don't report, the ACPO have already admitted that they 'misinterpreted government guidelines on social distancing'

As a result FPN's and other punitive measures have been quashed.

Reporting ones neighbours is pure STASI be.

Next to come are 'Social Bubbles' as advised by Oxford Sociology academic Pers Block, who suggests we're all locked down or bubbled indefinitely and talks of 'population control'

I fear we'll never get out of this vicious control system we're currently under.

Mental health, domestic & child abuse, suicide & assault Murder stats will go off the graph the longer this continues.

Don't play their game.

i just don’t see the point anymore in getting stressed out about what your neighbour is doing unless they are personally in your space and putting you at risk ... especially the comments about wanting to get then in trouble with their employer it just came across petty to me

Why's that so shocking? If people don't give a f*ck about potentially passing a deadly disease onto me or my family, because they can't follow some simple rules because they're selfish then I certainly won't be losing any sleep over them.

Thousands of people have died through no fault of their own and potentially been infected by those who didn't adhere to lockdown properly. What's the difference between the spreaders and someone who takes a life through drink driving and then gets off with a minimal jail term?

I personally have no interest in reporting anybody, but that is my general outlook on life normally.

I do what feels ethically right for myself and feel that everybody else do their thing too.

I can't judge other people's circumstances or health, mental or physical.

I just really see it as not my concern. I know not everybody else feels like this of course.

Start meeting your friends and family too if that's what's bothering you.

They're not "breaking the law", just not following the BS advice anymore, like myself, because the risks are so minimal. "

As they say ignorance of the Law is no Excuse. There are certainly a few ignorant people around.

Although in English Law the Police cannot enforce a 2m social distancing rule. It is an offence under the Corona virus Act 2020. Schedule 22 Powers to issue directions relating to events, gatherings and premises

Many of the responses are don't do anything.

Don't bother and get on with it.

Thanks to certain government officials any sort of guidance that was previously implemented has now been lost.

There is no control from the authority's thus people are openly exploiting the already vauge guidance.

"No, don't report, the ACPO have already admitted that they 'misinterpreted government guidelines on social distancing'

As a result FPN's and other punitive measures have been quashed.

Reporting ones neighbours is pure STASI be.

Next to come are 'Social Bubbles' as advised by Oxford Sociology academic Pers Block, who suggests we're all locked down or bubbled indefinitely and talks of 'population control'

I fear we'll never get out of this vicious control system we're currently under.

Mental health, domestic & child abuse, suicide & assault Murder stats will go off the graph the longer this continues.

It shouldn't need total control from authorities for people to use common sense and to care about their fellow mankind.

It shouldn't need Police pulling people in the street and fining them/arresting them.

All it takes is someone to say to themselves "am I potentially putting someone else at risk here?". If that answer is "yes" then don't do it simples. Nobbers like Cummings shouldn't skew everyone else's view on lockdown guidance. "Well they did it" isn't a defence, it's just a cop out to justify to yourself why you're lacking self-control. Millions of us are pulling rank for the greater good. Yeah we all want BBQ's/family visits but we know holding out a few weeks longer in is what is required in the long run.

The first part of your comment sums it up, people don't really care about anyone else apart from themselves and direct family.

And I'm the same i can only manage those close to me.

The government guidelines were designed that people mange themselves and thier families.

They are not breaking the law, they are not harming you (and probably nobody else) so best to mind your own business.

Those are crimes that are breaking the law rather than rules, so I stand by my comment. There's a big difference between the two. You can't compare breaking lockdown rules to sex crimes, abuse and mugging. Totally ridiculous.

So how will holding out a few weeks longer help get rid of the virus? It will keep on spreading unless they lock everyone that has it up in a concentration camp until it's over.

If they have no vaccination or 'cure' it will stay around for much longer yet.

So it is perfectly acceptable for key workers to go to work every single day mingling with colleagues and risking their lives so the people isolating can stay safe and sound in their homes and still get water, food, electric and everything else delivered to their door, or keep a health service running in case those in lockdown need it. But if anyone gets together socially you want to report them to the police?

It smacks of such hypocrisy that people can risk their lives to keep you safe but are damned if they want to release the tension of a life literally on the edge by socialising. I do not know if you neighbours are key workers or not, i am and i know it is not always possible to keep social distancing. So i am allowed to risk my life for your benefit but not for any other reason?

I wouldn't bother reporting them. Leave enforcement to the police. If you think, their behaviour raises risk, just stay away from them.

So what happens if one of them has Covid and passes it onto all of them, those people don't yet know they have Covid and go for their shopping and passes too close to someone because they don't give a toss about any guidelines, gives it to that person. Times that by how many were in a party in someones garden, how many people could they potentially pass it to I wonder. Does it then become other peoples business?

They're not key workers and one is even shielding as they will more than likely die if they catch the virus if you read the thread! Mrs is a key worker and I'm due to return in days as I come under construction/DIY label. I'm just waiting on things been finalised.

So we are already/will be risking our own and our families lives and health for you also! So don't have a pop at us on that one please. Just remember that it's these rule breakers who will spread the virus again and not the likes of us who are sticking to the rules.

We've been tard as been Nazis,the Stassi as well as been threatened with snitches get stitches (sounds like a threat to us if that person would like to try and follow that one up!?) Amongst other things. And now yourself saying your risking your life for us to stay at home when you don't even know us and our situation. There's also been talk of concentration camps which we find highly offensive and disrespectful as we are nowhere near endearing the suffering that happened in these places. The overall feeling has been if it doesn't effect me I'm not bothered. Well when these rule breakers spread the virus again and it lands on all of your families doorsteps and makes you ill, if not worse. Don't be pointing fingers at anyone other than yourselves for allowing this behaviour to happen and continue. Meeting people at your home is against the rules unless delivering essential items no matter what you all think. Not to have a social gathering end of! And you can be issued a fixed penalty for this. Hence why anyone on here advertising for meets is band. Sadly yes it is frustrating for everyone that you can go to work and mingle with others but you can't have friends and family at your home, but these are the rules we should be and need to be following. We don't make them so don't be throwing these rules and guides about at us, we're the ones trying to keep you all safe by sticking to them!

We're not going to communicate further on this matter as we've had enough of the abuse thrown at us. Through all of this we've been civil but in return received personal attacks.

We do hope that everyone stays safe and well through these stressful and troubling times in the long run.

Actually people can do something about the hypocritical people if they want to let the authorities know, I am not sure it will stop selfish people from doing it again though.

I know the OP got some stick for even asking should she report but I am guessing the ones on lots of threads before and possibly here would report someone on the forum for breaking rules.

I suppose it depends on what people think is more important

From the replies on the thread it seems if something is reported the authority's take either to long to respond or can't prove if an issue has occurred.

People have obviously picked up on this and are flaunting the rules knowing that the penalty for thier actions will be minimal if any.

Family and friend groups are slowly starting to expand because attitudes are continually changing.

Should the behaviour be reported, yes.

I’ve not really read the rest of the thread but I’m sensing a divide. I think ‘we’re all in this together’ makes ppl rule breaking everybody’s business. How far you take that is subjective. I regularly have to ask ppl politely to move when causing an obstruction in the supermarket preventing social distancing. I’ve made a call to 111 when I came across teenagers camping in the woods and chasing livestock in the adjacent field. Regardless of the rules in place some ppl won’t comply. So in answer to your question OP, it’s a tricky one as you live next door to them. However, consider how you’d feel if a loved one became seriously ill as a result of their recklessness. Once you’ve got that in mind make your decision. That is if you haven’t already

Seriously ask yourself the exam question, what do you expect to achieve by entering into your neighbours issue by calling the police? By the time you have dialled 999, informed the controller, given your name, address and telephone number you will probably start to regret the whole process anyway. The only thing surely you need to do is to ensure your own safety and that of your close ones. Keep out of others way both physically and mentally is by far the more effective and undoubtedly less stressful option.

Interesting..I just finished reading another thread on here that was totally bashing the government and the PM calling them incompetent, useless, etc..

Then I come here and people take what the government says around these rules as holy gospel...

Which is it?

I am a key worker. From around mid April I started to have my mum over (she’s key worker too) and meet a friend for a walk(not 2m apart).. If I agree that the government handling is atrocious, then I need to use my own judgement/risk assessment on what to do and where to go. (And of course that doesn’t include travelling with symptoms or test driving my eyesight!)

If Boris Hancock and Co in tomorrow’s briefing said “actually, it’s fine you can meet and not distance”, will you automatically and straightaway change your behaviour? There is no on/off switch. I say, be vigilant with hygiene, aware what you’re touching and where you’re going, respect people’s space and yes distance when out and about.. but when it comes to friends and family, you all know your situation and can do your own risk assessment.

Of course we might get away with it, sounds like you and mum have, but that doesn't make it right.

I don’t want to insult your literacy skills but that is not what I said, where did I say those words..debating this with you is futile. You still do not comprehend the point I’m making..I do not agree with Cums actions, I agree that his actions highlight that the people giving me messages since the start, are vile atrocious, self serving liars, and therefore I will not disengage my brain when I switch on the daily briefing..

Think some people couldn’t care less now for whatever reason, our neighbours in their 80’s currently have their daughter, son in law and two kids and also their son and new girlfriend around, they are in the garden but I’m sure they will all be back and to in the kitchen and toilet.

For many people social distancing is a joke. Problem in this country is that many people think the rules don’t apply to them, thinking they are safe.

These people don’t realise that you don’t need to have symptoms to be contagious.

So you should report them, think about yourself and your own. As they don’t give a toss about you.

True but how about the ambulance people that have to come for them and the hospital staff that have to care for them if they do catch it and become to ill to stay home, we are talking 4 different households in one house, not really ideal.

People who breakdown on the motorway and put an AA or RAC responder's life at risk are doing the same thing.

If the 'you' that you refer to is at undue risk of dying from catching it, then they should be isolating and won't come anywhere near the rule breakers.

Snorting at the dick on an airbed floating out to sea!!

And yeah I agree.

I wonder if the twats who got stuck when the sea came in the other week had to pay for the rescue mission.

Observing social distancing so will have a word in 2021. I could shout over the fence in a firm voice... something like "pack it in!" might work. They will probably shout back saying "shurrup" or "go to sleep" bunch of party animals the lot of them!!

I'm cool with my neighbours so get their frustrations. And country yet again is divided because Gov is weak! Rebels on one side and law abiding social citizens on the other...

My concern is the ripple effect! Those same people go out and about shopping/working etc if spreading virus without knowing it's only a matter of time some of those infected end up in hospital... some of those become seriously ill... next thing you know, pow! Lockdown.

"Guilt trip" is interesting... nothing wrong with self love, even though I don't indulge in that myself. I suppose some people prefer Cummings style...

The chances of catching it from spending half a second within 2m of someone is infinitesimal, which is why contact tracing only kicks in if you spend 15 minutes close to someone infected.

Well I don’t want to be the unlucky one that somebody does a snotty infested sneeze on in that nano second, kind of think it’s manners and consideration for others when people have been advised to keep 2mtrs distance but I suppose we’re all built different oh and we all know how wrong these study’s can be.
