I agree totally with Judith.
I have no reason to doubt her account. She was treated abysmally and
improperly.
There is no excuse.
I hope that the incident reaches local papers and results in a different
attitude by police and property owners in future.
Bullying (which is clearly what happened to Judith) is disgraceful wherever
it occurs.
Especially to lone old ladies, eh!
It reminds me of an occasion where I (also a lone elderly lady) was parked
at a dirt road intersection in the SE of South Australia and, out of the
car, peering hopefully into the bush with my binoculars (I'm not a
knowledgeable birdo so had to peer long and hard).
A couple of strong young men in a ute pulled up alongside and started
questioning me.
I'm not lacking in confidence so I wasn't threatened by being accosted, out
in the lonely bush, by two muscular young men (should I have been? -
probably!).
I smiled and treated them as though they were worried that I might have a
problem and were trying to help (though I very much doubted this).
Eventually they left.
And I (stupidly?) drove into the forest and kept peering.
