FATHER CHRISTMAS ARRESTED!

Dikula is a village clown who is known for making people in the village laugh. This Christmas, he planned to give them all one big reason to be happy. He bought many sweets and decided to sneak into people’s homes at night and put the sweets in the houses. He thought this would make people happy, especially the children. When Christmas reached, he got his bicycle and went from house to house jumping the fences and entering to deliver the sweets. Since this was tiring work, he got hungry and started eating any food he found in the houses.

As he was leaving one house, the people made an alarm and called the police. They arrested him and charged him with trespassing and theft.

Dikula is confused because he just wanted to surprise the people and make them happy. Is that illegal?

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

According to the law, when a person enters the premises of another without permission, then it is called trespassing and is a crime for which one can be arrested. Similarly, taking food from someone’s house at night after you have entered without permission fits into the legal definition of theft and could even be considered burglary.

It is therefore important that permission is sought before entering people’s premises even for good reasons.

This Christmas season, be careful not to enter anyone's residence without an invitation so you are not arrested for trespassing.

Merry Christmas.

His star surgeon, known as Guy H, was known for operating on wealthy clients and he treated Ehud two to four times a year in procedures costing tens of thousands of euros. Wealthy Omega Diamonds owner Ehud would be operated on out of office hours. He had been having injections into his penis to make it appear larger. An investigation was swiftly opened into potential manslaughter chargers following his death, though it soon shifted to charges of failing to assist a person in danger, drug offences and practicing medicine without a licence.
