Trespassing laws (NSW) - Feel free to add your own state.
If there is a lawyer on here perhaps they could clarify things.
INCLOSED LANDS PROTECTION ACT 1901

The Current Law Governing Access to Neighbouring Land
"In the absence of the permission of the owner, the civil and criminal law in New South Wales both prohibit a general right of entry by a person onto neighbouring property, regardless of the purpose of the entry".

Stupidity helps you make the first step and sense gets you out alive.
Under Victorian law it is an offence to wilfully trespass in any place and neglect or refuse to leave that place after being warned to do so by the owner, occupier or a person authorised by the owner or occupier (s.9(1)(d) SOA). The maximum penalty is 25 penalty units or six months jail.
The corresponding Commonwealth offences do not require that a warning be given, but provide for a defence of "lawful" or "reasonable excuse" (s.89(1) Crimes Act (Cth) and ss.11(1) & 12(1) Public Order Act). The penalty for both offences is a fine of up to 10 penalty units.
Trespass on certain types of premises is governed by different Acts; e.g. regulation 35 of the Defence Force Regulations 1952 (Cth) authorises the Minister to declare a place to be a prohibited area and creates offences of entering or remaining without permission. The maximum penalty is 20 penalty units or imprisonment for six months, or both.
A trespasser is someone who enters onto land without invitation or implied permission.
Excessive force cannot be used to remove a trespasser as this is an assault. A better course of action is to call the police and later sue the trespasser for compensation for any damage caused.
The police can prosecute the trespasser who faces a penalty of up to $2500 fine and imprisonment for up to six months [Summary Offences Act 1953 s.17a]. A trespass can also be committed by causing an object to cross over onto a neighbouring property, for example, firing a gun at a cat on the neighbour's roof.
1. We can be sued by the owner of the site for compo. (I know we only took pics)
2. We can be prosecuted by the cops.
We need a resident lawyer on the forum.

The cost of recalibrating the crane, wages paid to workers who are unable to work while that's happening, various fines involved. Can go well into the hundreds of thousands depending on the site.Midget wrote:compo?

We didn't touch sh-t at UTS, we just took photos from the platform underneath the crane.Midget wrote:Oh, compensation. Pft, as long as you don't mess with ****, should be alright.

For our second trip to Rhodes we didn't touch anything, boxes with sh-t in them, cables etc.

I remember reading that a while ago.Mambo wrote: Legging it from a crane... What could go wrong?
But you're not going to be detected on a crane unless you're being stupid anyways. It's at ground-level that you'll be legging it. Or just rappel down from the crane.
And if the ladders are attached properly.hawkeye5086 wrote:In that story the guy was on the main jib arm which is pretty dangerous, atleast at UTS we where below the cabin on the deck. To be honest climbing a crane is pretty safe as long as it is not wet and you take your time and be watchful.
(Yes, I'm still going on about that.)
Falling = bad.
I have a pretty bad fear of heights, but not when I am in a plane. I have been yelled at by other people in the plane for flipping it on huge angles or upside down so I can see things on the ground better. Back in the day I could afford to fly for a hobby.
