So you haven’t answered the question, what illegal activity is MM involved in?
Moorland Monitors aren't necessarily doing anything illegal.What they do though is follow keepers when they're going about their day to day activities. Taking photos of legal traps and watching where the keepers set them,then they move in and destroy them at a later date.
They park out their houses or park up at distance and watch them through binoculars. They take photos and film of them. They follow them and their families.
My mate who is a Head Keeper on a well known Pennine Grouse Moor has vehicles parked daily on a road on the other side of a narrow valley with two people in it filming and watching. They follow the other keepers wives on school runs. Two members of MM even followed one of the keepers wives to the supermarket and followed them up and down the isles and the Police can't do a thing about it!
They want to make life very uncomfortable for them to the extent where it may cause a keeper to take the law into his own hands or may just pack the job up altogether.
I've suggested we start to follow these people ourselves and watch them cutting the grass,watching them eating a meal with their families through the kitchen window.
It's about time we started fighting fire with fire!!!!
