The view of most ordinary people here is that a burglar leaves their rights outside the house when they burgle it. The police and courts don't take that view. And don't ever defend yourself against a mugger, and never, ever help someone who is being mugged. The police will arrest you faster than you can say "aren't you going after the mugger?". You are easier to arrest and prosecute. The mugger will be difficult. Or am I just being cynical as well?

This is something i always wondered about, what you said is pretty much true when it comes to facing a burglar in your house in this country.

And all because the definition of "reasonable" is not strictly defined in law.

They say reasonable, as if all the people are budo saints or can reasonably react when faced with extreme situations. You're the one attacked but you have to be a "professional" about how you deal with the situation. Utter BS.
