Here's one...

[GutterClown]

Righto, This popped up at the dinner table tonight.

My brother is being accused by the next-door's (behind his back, as neighbours do) that he was swearing like a bastard last saturday.

After awhile, He figured out he may of been playing some Kevin Bloody Wilson that day, But can't remember.

Now, When my father told him, naturaly the reaction (being the blokey bloke he is) was "well they can fuckin' jam it"

to which, the responce was "Well you're mother and I own this house, so if you don't like our neighbours, you can go find somewhere else to stay" (yeah, mother Really loved that one)


But enough of that, Here's the question:
Is there Really anything they can do legally about some music with swearing in it \ someone swearing like a sailor in their own yard? in the middle of the day?
Or can they really 'jam it'?

[DCenT3]

i dont think there is any laws against swearing. There are some laws about loudness and "noise pollution" but not exactly anything specific to what that sound is.

[That Bloke]

i dont think there is any laws against swearing.
Swearing in public was a minor violation of public decency laws in just the last few years(officially still is) but a couple of years ago a highcourt judge dismissed a case against a guy who said fuck in public & it set a precedent.

[Sagacious]

the answer I believe is that they can pretty much jam it where the sun don't shine! unless they are coppers in which case they will charge you with some trumped up charge of some sort.

unless they are coppers in which case they will charge you with some trumped up charge of some sort.
Or lawyers, in which case they'll most likely file all manner of frivolous civil complaints which will, at the least, cost your brother a bucketload to defend himself against.

[simon_marklar]

what you should do is get the kevin bloody wilson, put it on repeat then turn the volume right down, so that its just audiable, and place it somewhere that the sound will waft over to your neighbours house, but not into yours. You're not breaking any laws there, and after a while they will think they're hearing voices. Which is great, because then you call the men in the white coats to take them away.

[Sashasword]

Orright, here's a question for any lawyer types out there *looks at Sagacious*.
I only ask your help because my BF is a notorious procrastinator, and hasn't done a damn thing aboout finding a solution for me. What's the use of being a lawyer if you don't use your contacts?

It's related to neighbour noise, and so I thought I'd pop this in.

As you might know if you have read some of my replies/bitches, etc, I have the misfortune of having a house of retards behind me. There are three of them.
All are noisy. There are wranglers (carers, whatever) there all the time, but they do sweet FA about controlling them. The tards frequently scream and bellow at the top of their lungs for hours at a time,and not only harass and scream obscenities (or something, it starts with "Fuckn...."and blurs into who knows what) at the neighbours, including me whenever I go into my backyard, but also at any passers-by along the footpath. This agressive one in particular will chase children down the street and scream at them. The wranglers are nowhere in sight when this happens.

What really pisses me off though, is that this particular waste of resources will frequently scream and bellow at me every time I step into my backyard, and even if I am in the craftroom out back. This makes it very difficult to concerntrate on my bonecarving I do, which requires many hours of concerntration and the complete lack of a tard sneaking up behind you and bellowing suddenly.

This, I assure you, does nothing for my nerves, nor love for humankind.

I am now frequented by pleasant daydreams in which I blow each of their heads off with a sniper rifle in turn - tards and wranglers alike.

It really should not get to this point, I think.
The wranglers can't feign ignorance and not know there is a problem, as when I tire of getting bellowed at too much, I scream at them to control their tards, so it's not like they don't know. It never makes much of a difference, but at least I feel better.

I completely lack a deep freeze, and so have nowhere to put the bodies if I were to "find" some, so sadly, this is not an option.

Dear Dolly, what do I do now?

There is a potential action for nuisance. But it would fail to satisfy the tests methinks.

As a general rule you have full and free right to use your land as you see fit, provided you don't interfere with your neighbours land. Noise/smoke/leaves/water can all be classed as nuisances if they interfere sufficiently with your neighbours use and enjoyment of their land.

Short answer is, neighbour disputes usually cost more than they are worth.

There are also laws relating to noise (from recollection anything between 7am-10pm ish is fine to be loud).

What jurisdiction you in?


Most likely to *possibly* have an action in nuisance. But once again, costs might outweigh the benefit.

[Sashasword]

Jurisdiction?
Wot's that?

I believe she wants to know where you at punk? Ie. Where in SE brissy (council-wise)

Ah, I see.

Actual disabled people??

Ever thought how it might look bringing an action against noise made by special people?

I'm not trying to take anything away from how annoying it must be, but I'm not sure there's much you can do in practice. I'm assuming of course this is a legitimately formed and run organisation with government approval. Perhaps you have a alternative avenue there. Investigate whether the facility is run in accordance with government standards. Be careful though. There's few enough places in the world for people with special needs. Eventually a facility of this nature has to be in someone's backyard and I'd hate to see people out on the street.

Yep, actual mongo ambulatory vegetables that can't string two understandable words together.

My problem is this: If you are going to put tards amongst the normals, then for fuck's sake make sure they don't annoy the other locals.
I had no clue at all as to what I was moving in next to. People with dangerous dogs have to have signs to warn other people - why not tards?

This may seem to many to be really callous, but just try living where I am next to these mongs and see how you like it. I swear it will make you change your mind forever.

I know it's not exactly the tards fault, just like it isn't the dogs' fault, but the wranglers lack of control is giving tards like this a bad name and making people (like me) bitter about putting tards amongst normals and the opinion of tards in general. This is not a good thing, I know, but it's how it is.

I'm talking about getting screamed and grunted at all day, every day, 24/7.
It's awfully embarassing to have anyone over and have tards screaming and swearing mindlessly in the background.

There is also a retard daycare centre to the right of me as well. They emmit occasional nuthouse screams also, but I don't have a problem with these ones as much, even though some of the sounds curdle the blood, because I can see the wranglers are very good at tightly controlling them. They try hard to keep them quiet, and don't let them wander all over the footpath harassing the public. I respect this. I don't like their existance, but I can live with it.

It's the "freerange tard" mindset the other fat, bovine wranglers seem to have. They just don't care what they do. What are these fat dugongs paid for anyway?

That's what I have a problem with.


Thanks for taking an interest and trying to be helpful, ShinymetalASS. It is appreciated.
