Myleene Klass warned by police
 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...ith-knife.html

Miss Klass, a model for Marks & Spencer and a former singer with the pop group Hear'Say, was in her kitchen in the early hours of Friday when she saw two teenagers behaving suspiciously in her garden.

The youths approached the kitchen window, before attempting to break into her garden shed, prompting Miss Klass to wave a kitchen knife to scare them away.


Myleene was aghast when she was told that the law did not allow her to defend herself in her own home. All she did was scream loudly and wave the knife to try and frighten them off.

i suppose the correct thing to do would have been to throw the shed keys out of the window, before evacuating the premises and leaving it unlocked to assist the intruders in their lawful right to take what ever they want:rolleyes:

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

whats the betting that one of those littke scrotes had a knife on him

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Perhaps she should have gone outside and confronted them.

Then she may have been punched by one of them, knocked to the ground and left for dead in the snow.

Perhaps today we would have then been waking up to a different story.

Well done MK I say.

Defending yourself in your home now includes running into the garden and knifing 2 people does it? Do people often live in sheds? I would say if she was in her home and the youths were breaking into her shed the threat to her life was fairly low at that point.

I'm all for granting homeowners to defend themselves but that stops quite a way short of running after people and executing them over a small amount of property. If the garden counts, does that mean the driveway is fair game then?

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Mmmmm, Myleene :romance:

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Un bloody believable. The UK is fast becomming a place where if your some scummy little oik your in the police's safe hands where if you are the victim you have sod all rights.

I am aso sick of this country. Jesus christ. Why is this? I dont understand, unless it's me? Jesus.. and "hmmm" Mylene

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

An Englishmans home and all that.
If the local council would allow me to build a moat around my house to protect myself and my property I would.
But as they wouldn't give planning permission for something like that, I'll protect it however I can.

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

she should do what the hm the Queen does
get one of these blokes to guard her shed;)

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

You have the right to protect you and your family's lives. Not property. Not even in the USA will they let you off for executing a burglar for stealing a lawnmower.

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Total non-story

So basically a cop went round and checked the house then said something along the lines of

"Don't go outside with a knife if you see someone, call us straight away"

And it gets reported as

"Don't do anything ever"

Still it proves the Police do attend calls like this despite some people thinking all they do is sit in warm offices playing pool and drinking tea.

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

do you mean they turn up when a celebrity calls ,i only ask as i don't seem to get the same response when i call to report something .

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Yeah although only cause it was Mylene. If someone not as attractive called it wouldn't be worth going outside for :rolleyes:

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Bit silly telling the police you waved a knife at someone.

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

might have been one of the little scrotes who grassed her up cos his 'uman rites was broke

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

non story as said she should have just phoned the police and made sure the doors were locked

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

i think she was given words of advice by the bill, BUT, it just goes to show you, how stupid the laws are in this country.

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

in what way stupid ?

we should be allowed to execute people to protect property ?

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

:rolleyes:

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

execute no- beat the crap out of yes imo

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

mmmmmmmm - Mylene, chastise me......:)

Anyhoo, back to reality - sounds like her agent has made some stuff up to get some free publicity

Does anyone actually believe this was said Guardian (not exactly well-know defenders of Old Bill)

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

yup

"Her questions going forward are: what are my rights, and what are you actually allowed to do to defend yourself in your own house?"

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Any exceptions to that? Because it sounds like an uninvited door-to-door salesman is going to get assaulted by knocking on your door.

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

In your house you can kill them if you think your life or others is at risk ( and basically they would have to prove you didn't think that as in court it is not that you were at risk but that you believed you were even if that belief was wrong )

but if you stop them from running away to attack them then you over step the mark

and going outside to threaten people seems to be putting yourself and your family at more risk than locking the doors and phoning the police

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

I think that she should have gone out and stabbed the two little f@@@ers , as one said earlier i would get planning permission but not for a moat but a minefield to stop them !

Where i used to live i got someone stood in the back garden shouting obsenities at my 8 month pregnant partner and i chased them down the row of gardens and then got questioned about threats to kill , as they said that i was going to kill them ( if i had got hold of him i would have ) !

But on a funny note i would not have been at the kitchen window , i would have been with a ladder at the bedroom window to see M KLASS:D

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Myleene was in her own her own home and just showed the knife to the thug via the door, and she gets a warning, l said the laws are stupid, as she should be allowed toprotect her own property, what she should have done was thrown th bloody thing.

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Arthur, she didn't 'get a warning'. She was offered some advice on what would be a sensible way to behave and what might land her in trouble. Just a concerned local copper doing a nice bit of community crime prevention work if you ask me, and not deserving of the slating he's getting in here and in the Press.

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

they did not caution her they just advised it would be safer to call them

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

I waved something of mine at Mylene once. The police were around in a flash then too.

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

'flash' being the operative word...

.. and that's a bad thing, because.... <tongue in cheek/>

---------- Post added at 20:53 ---------- Previous post was at 20:52 ----------

Personally I think Myleene should be offered 24 hours protection- and I'd be willing to do it for free...

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Yes - mind you I'm not sure a feather duster or a rolled up copy of OK would have had the desired deterrent effect....

---------- Post added at 21:24 ---------- Previous post was at 21:22 ----------

Yes, providing she felt they'd be able to respond in time.

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

hmm and going outside and showing your there would make her safer ? even if they were going to be slow to respond

she could have found it was more than 2 once outside putting yourself at risk for things is daft imho

( note i have no problem with her arming herself with the knife or using it if they had come inside and she felt threatened )

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Did I say it would? :confused:

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Wasn't it Mylene Klass who was mugged? If so, then I don't blame her I'd have went to the door or window with a knife too.

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

In fairness to that point of view, where I work, we phoned our local police to report a stolen laptop. We were given a crime number (for the insurance claim) and told to go investigate it ourselves..

Also, on a personal level, a couple of years ago, someone was trying to climb over our back fence. The dogs noticed it, and went insane. The barking alerted the neighbours who called 999. The Police came round, chased a couple of blokes off (who used the excuse that they were playing football and the ball had gone over our fence). The Policeman came to our front door, told us what had happened, and asked us to report anything strange happening.

So, about 10pm, I noticed a car going round and round the carpark behind our garden, and apparently spending a long time by our fence each time it went round. I watched for a few minutes, then phoned 999. The operator initially refused to put the call through saying it was probably someone doing a driving lesson. When I said they had been circling for 45 minutes so I didn't think that likely, they asked me to stay by the phone and hung up.

5 minutes later, I got a phone call from our local Police station apologising for what had happened. 15 minutes later I got another one from the Police telling me that the car I had described had been seen outside a local building society and the occupants arrested trying to break in, and that we should be OK now.

I know that a lot of Police Officers do a lot of good work, often in dangerous conditions, but the Police don't get it right all the time..

As for Mylene Klass, I can understand that she probably did feel threatened, but it is a bit much to threaten someone's life just for nicking garden implements.

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

I'm not agreeing with what she allegedly did, but i found myself in a similar situation a few years back and the sheer thought of someone invading my personal belongings (be it as stupid as a lawn mower) drove me to run out into the back garden and confront the idiot.

Thankfully he was a lowlife who scarpered using a laid out track of wheelie bins in front of fences, but when rage takes over you do stupid things. My nerves were absolutely shot after that and I didn't sleep for weeks :rolleyes:

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

no i most likely replied to you and another post but for the life of me now i cant think which one was reading to many threads and had the kids running around out of bed for umpteenth time asking if there as any more snow

( thats my excuse and i am sticking to it )

now i have forgotten what else i was going to say lol

ah well off to try and beat that high score on mini pool for a while again ;)

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

I'll admit, I was looking at it from a logical point of view. Unfortunately, when threatened, logic goes out the window for most people..

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

What I find completely unacceptable is this thread going on for 3 pages and noone has posted a picture of Myleene....

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Am i missing something When did she execute or attempt to execute someone?
Wasn't she inside the house and the **** outside?

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

Perhaps a kind mod can change the thread title to the apparently more correct: Myleene Klass not warned by police at all?

Sounds like a storm in a teacup. Perhaps Myleene was just after some publicity?

Re: Myleene Klass warned by police
 

never why on earth would she do that ;)
