Todays permitted exercise!

[Oracle]

Isn't there a danger that this will encourage sections of society to push things as far as they can and try to find / exploit loopholes in the law. I think people on here broadly agree on what is sensible and lawful but there is alway those that know better.

This is not a loophole, there isnt a law! a prosecution barrister says he has no case to prosecute those the police are summoning.
The statute declares reasons for leaving home ie exercise, not location duration or frequency.

How is driving 5 minutes to an empty off road place a violation of letter or spirit? It’s a health law, not public order in a time of unrest. So it should be viewed in the context of whether a breach reduced social distancing, or was for other than stated reason. That is all.

Yet a Cheshire man is summonsed for driving a couple of minutes to exercise a dog on his own land. Which is what I do to run. Do you support a fine for me?

The difference between Russia and free countries is supposedly the police cannot make it up as they go along.
