Re: Neighbours.

I didn't know what razor wire was but have been reading about it through google. It seems that it's quite legal & a good way to protect ones property...

It's an insane way to "protect" an ordinary private house in an ordinary setting.

Hi

It is an effective way of protecting your house.

They see the signs and look elsewhere.

True. I wouldn't shed any tears if all criminals were shot in the back. The world would be better off without them.

Re: Neighbours.

Is the use of razor wire legal?

I had my own preconceptions, but thought it best to look it up.
The short answer is that, typically in this country, the situation is contradictory! (As I expected. )

One source suggests that if the razor wire is over 1.8m (6') above ground level and appropriate signage is used, it is perfectly legal.
Another mentions 'duty of care', and that this applies equally to burglars and vandals. Apart from the signage, the razor wire must be easily visible to anyone approaching it. In addition, if children are injured by the wire when climbing, the owner is likely to be liable for lack of duty of care.
In addition to the above, if the razor wire is next to a public highway, it must be over 2.4m (rather than 1.8m) above ground level.

As is so often the case in this country, rules and even laws are not always as clear cut as they really ought to be.
Probably something put in place by lawyers to facilitate their work in prosecuting/defending accused people; make it sufficiently flexible that they can claim that black is white, etc, etc!

Generally military zones, the border of countries, airports, and private companies are ideal places for the use of razor-wire for security reasons.

Not likely on residential properties. And there are restrictions.
