Paul Barford serial blogger and saviour of
world heritage, makes regular accusations about historic sites being pillaged
throughout the western world. He cites on his blog the Staffordshire Hoard site
being visited by nighthawks as unfilled holes have been found across the field,
and criticizes the security measures being taken.
What he fails to tell his
viewers, is that he is often the instigator of many of these visits as last
year he published on his blog the site of the Poulton Hoard. He even ran a
guessing game as to which field it was found, guiding them to the particular
field. He then congratulates too local lads who were also known nighthawks at
guessing the exact spot. Well done Mr. Barford aren't we a clever chappie.
Three months later these two nighthawks were caught by the gamekeeper on the
hoard field detecting and digging holes. They were ordered off and the details passed
onto the local police.
Now what Paul Barford has done as aider and abettor of a
crime is become liable himself, even though he didn't actually hawk the fields
himself, his intention was to purposefully assist, or otherwise promote the
commission of a crime or a tort.
In
a criminal offence, a person who aids and abets in a crime, participates in the
commission of the crime by performing some overt act or by giving advice or
encouragement. The person should be sharing the criminal intent of the person
who actually commits the crime. However, it is not necessary for the aider and
abettor to be physically present at the scene of the crime, or take part in the
actual criminal offence. Under criminal law, an aider and abettor party to a
crime will be criminally liable as a principal, an accessory before the fact,
or an accessory after the factI think it's only right that the World see's what a real shit you are Paul, and it is you that has broken the law, and I intend to pursue you as long as it takes.
