Would love to try dogging (after covid) but so scared of getting in trouble with police.

Does this actually happen? People get reported?

Have you ever been caught or know anyone that has been caught?

I got caught once in a car (just two of us playing with each other). Police gave us a scary talking to.

I think if by arrested you mean put in handcuffs and taken to the police station, I very much doubt it unless you posed some sort of immediate risk or danger to someone or was aggressive with an officer.

The most likely outcome would probably be a strict telling off and possibly issued a fine or summons to court where you could possibly be added to the sex offenders register.

Staying a night behind bars, probably not..

A night behind bars wold be infinitely preferable than a guest appearance on the Sex Offenders Register. That's something that you don't get off.

I think you'd get the bars and then the register, depending on how you were charged.

Considering that sex outdoors isn't illegal per se and that any dogging activities will involve consent, the register seems a little harsh.

I think the secret is to be a little covert. I've suggested that we should find places that aren't used for dogging but would be perfect for pre-arranged get togethers, that aren't likely to attract attention.

The police sometimes visit places for reassurance giving, as it can deter boy racers etc too.

You can go on the sex offenders register without going to prison. And you can go to prison without going onto the register.

That aside, it's unlikely dogging will result in either unless you do it in front of a school, are abusive/aggressive to a police officer or are just downright inconsiderate where you are doing it.

Late at night, in a quiet space is unlikely to result in anything more than a stern telling off for the first time caught.

Dogging is not illegal and you will not be charged unless as mentioned above you are doing it near a school or where children could be. But in the middle of nowhere at night and between consenting adults there is no reason for anything to happen. deffo not going into the sex offender list. there is plenty of article on the net about your right as a dogger.

Once upon a time I was out all dressed in Cd mode and met another Cd in a car park and we got down and dirty in her car for some steamy window fun n frolics. suffice to say we saw a car pull up and 2 guys got out to come over in a threatening manner so we stopped and looked. Just as we were arranging our sexy clothes another car pulled in at high speed and blue lights came on and 3 coppers jumped out and wrestled the guys to the ground..after another car came and took them away one of the police said they had been watching the car park as those 2 had been beating up cds and guys alone for money..so it was a wake up call..I used only safe well known cruising ereas after.. anyway it ended on a high and the cops wished us good fun and a safer night together..we moved to another more discreet part of forrest and steamed up the windows again..

i have had an argument with police and asked him what his issue was and that im sure more crime is happening in town on a friday night, you can run round the woods naked if you like, as long as youre not trying to cause offence,

check out nudist sites regards rules on public decency they are very helpful,

it would be hard to bring a case i should imagine, why is the offended party looking in your car window late at night in a secluded spot in the middle of a woods lol

if you park outside a school yes thats different!

i actually have a lot of time for the police, someone has to do it right and they can be very helpful

think most people are worried about job and stigma more than anything else

Ok in non Covid times most Police forces will turn a blind eye providing you are not being to obvious about it.

I.E If I am having a wank behind a bush in the middle of the woods, I have taken the time and trouble to limit public exposure to my activity I would almost certainly get left alone.

Now I leave the woods and am horny again so have another wank in an open public car park thereby outraging public decency, likely to get done.

If unlucky enough to get caught during the first wank it is very likely my name would be checked by the Officers and I would get a talking too, nothing more

That said, most Police Officers work on the attitude test, being polite and reasonable will really help you

It's not an offence unless it's reported by a member of public ,who got disturbed or offended by your actions .

Outdoor sex is not illegal but there shouldn't be any innocent or non consentual person present or should notice you from a distance .

Normally if police catches you , they would ask you to leave the spot with a general warning .

Police won't arrest you just got having sex outdoors .

Depending upon location it's a criminal offence to public indecency as it's not classified as normal behaviour if another came across this but police have the ability to use their discretion and offer a warning but don't have to use this discretion so anything to a caution to something more is possible

Dogging is a low priority for the police, UNLESS doggers are causing issues such as upsetting other people, littering (used condoms), or noise problems.

The Police were very nice to us.

Drove past all the parked cars, who fled like something from wacky races.

Turned around at the bottom of the car park, pulled up next to us, got out and knocked on passenger window.

Good evening sir / madam, everything ok?

Fine thanks, you?

Yes, fine. Have a nice evening and off they popped.

Obviously, we were dressed and doing nothing wrong.

Sitting in the car rubbing your bare lady bits up and down the window may produce a different reaction.

As other people have said already the actual act of 'dogging' is not illegal and you can't be arrested for it. However, again as people have said, if a casual passer-by (remember you are in public) sees you and calls the police then it can get legally complicated for you.

The points I wanted to add, that a friend of mine who is a police officer added when we were chatting in a group of friends one time pointed out, is yes with a complaining witness you could then be charged under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 with indecent exposure, public lewdness and gross indecency amongst others. However, the situation to really avoid is if you are complained about by a witness and it is proven that children/minors happened to see you 'in action' then in that instance, as my police mate confirmed, you might also find yourself on the Sex Offenders Register as well.

I guess the moral is choose your location and time very carefully.

Have a friend who is a police officer, and she has been called to reports of sexual activity in public a lot of times.

Generally they use discretion. If you were doing it outside a supermarket, school or church, easily seen they would likely charge.

If it’s a couple down a lane, or in a wood they just tell them to move on

A few years ago I was returning to my car in a South East London hilltop park after having lunch in the cafe with a mate and saw the place swarming with police. They had just that minute stuck a flier under my wiper.

I asked one of them jokingly if I was in trouble. He then gave me a full and frank run down on ALL the activities likely to be encountered in the adjacent woods including 'men on girls','men on men' and,with added apparent relish, 'even girls on girls'.

I wish I hadn't asked. Talk about giving ideas to people who might not have had them in the first place. I left there an educated man!

Read article in evening chronicle at st Mary Whitehouse if you say it's not classified as a offence the law has changed considerably on outside activities and it's not if a member of the public saw you it's more like if they could've so it's like avoiding what could've been

Outdoor sex as long as it's not witnessed by an innocent victim is not illegal. For eg. If a cpl is caught having sex in their car in an isolated dark spot like park ,then police cannot charge them even under Indecent exposure Law because their actions didn't caused distress to the general public as a witness .

It's a very grey area and the police action would be greatly influenced by the time, place and nature of exposure.

There has to be a specific complaint or a witness or else police would just warn the cpl and ask them to leave the spot .

It's also down to the actual officer whether to use discretion or take matters further but if a person gets caught more times they'll see this as a serious issue as a concern and courts give out a suspended sentence or one behind bars which can also ruin someone's career so it's being careful and looking out for any cameras

At night, on a private land out of sight from the public is ok. Avoid any where near a school site.Police are only interested in catching people using the woods as drugs/arms hide out. Sex is natural and fun.Police are not ghosts, but humans too.

I read that, a d*unk homeless woman was caught having sex 8 times , that's something else dude .

And that wasn't night time either .

Think you are confusing here.

I am merely saying that , police don't arrest cpls who are having sex in a car in a secluded spot at night time when there are no watchers .

What you are saying is true in its own context ,but the topic is about dogging ,which is primarily a nocturnal activity carried out in specific locations .

Google dogging activities in Thetford forest park or Anson Banks car park Cannock Chase.

I’m afraid that there is a lot of misinformation on this thread about offences that simply don’t exist. Here’s the Sexual Offences Act 2003:

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/contents

The only even vaguely pertinent to dogging provision is section 66:

(1)A person commits an offence if—

(a)he intentionally exposes his genitals, and

(b)he intends that someone will see them and be caused alarm or distress.

(2)A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable—

(a)on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or both;

(b)on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years.

Intention is the operative word. If you’re discrete, by which I mean in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night, then you are not committing any offence. If you do it during the middle of the day where other people are present then you probably are.

You would not get out on the sex offenders register for this! It simply does not meet the threshold.

Is dogging an offence? Not under the sex offences act it’s not. And if it was an issue they would have amended the sex offences act 2003.

Exposure does not apply to dogging. Exposure is designed for flashers who get aroused from showing their genitals to others and you can’t prove that with dogging.

What it does fall under is outraging public decency. And no you wouldn’t get arrested unless there was a necessity to arrest you. Eg you refused your name and address to police.

In all likelihood, a penalty notice or a summons to court. Take the penalty notice I would advise. It’s a bigger fine that you would get at court but far less discrete.

I normally charge £100 an hour for that advice. But to my fellow swingers...... consider it free. ??

we have sat in a carpark and cops come in drive round then off they go or on a side road they drive past have a look and go but they will see you are not from there as your number plate will be scanned only once they stopped in unmarked car and ask us what we are up to and told us a lot of drug deals go on here so we left and it was a pc and wpc so looked like they are a couple dogging what a shock if some one went near them

We once got caught in a 69 by the police in a well known car park one night many years ago. They circled back around to give us time to get semi-decent. One male and one female copper. I just told them that we were holding hands, they laughed it off but pointed out the 10+ cars parked further up the car park. I didn’t have the heart to tell him we were hoping they’d come and watch!

"Few years ago a couple got caught at a dogging place, had got carried away and were having sex outside against the car, they were charged, names and pics in the Sunday papers, they were married but not to each other.... Ooops

Just googled caught doggin, Derby post says they can't catch anyone lol and Liverpool echo says it isn't illegal,

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/we-just-got-carried-away-claim-pair-997202.amp

The story says , police claimed that the area was full with dog walkers and children and also it looks like it was daytime with lots of watchers ( not planned )

The OP is talking about going out for dogging during night time to a secluded spot."

Sorry but does it? See below, I see no mention of night or secluded spot tbh....

'Would love to try dogging (after covid) but so scared of getting in trouble with police.

Does this actually happen? People get reported?

Have you ever been caught or know anyone that has been caught?

I got caught once in a car (just two of us playing with each other). Police gave us a scary talking to.'

I doubt very much it would be years maybe few weeks or months as it's serious but not as serious where you have caused harm to another party it's just unusual to see in society and given amount of things that are ongoing hasn't helped otherwise I'm sure it wouldn't be as strict as unreasonable behaviour and it's not like the act wasn't in a public place but way they would say possibilities for anyone who may see doesn't always have to be the case anyone saw because police would say if they caught you unexpectedly it can be the case for anyone else but the punishment is down to the individual named officer if he decides to use his discretion or not you can only receive a number of warnings or cautions depending on circumstances....

Round the Bend

I've posted about my experience before. Briefly several years ago I was caught with a female dogging friend very late at night in a secluded dogging car park. We had been enjoying ourselves inside our car for about an hour, were completely naked when lit up by headlights of a police car ! Two wpc's asked us both to get out immediately and proceeded to give us a Spanish Inquisition as we stood naked in the lights. After what seemed an age they told us to dress which meant finding our scattered clothing from in the car. Much bending into the car didn't hide much from them and we were told to move on, that is all. We both worried at the time but also thought how horny it was and wondered if those wpc's maybe enjoyed themselves.

I was arrested for dogging, I was out at night near Windsor, I saw a flash car with a couple in, they had the interior light on and she was waving, she was a bit older than I usually go for but she was dressed nice, I started wanking over the window when all of a sudden, coppers were everywhere, how was I supposed to know she was the queen?!?!?!?

Any copper could do that for virtually any reason on certain catch all offences, not just doggin, but they have to delete finger prints etc if not charged and You have to accept a caution. You can't be forced to... Most people just don't want the court case, because they might not have done anything illegal but would get sacked just for being involved in whatever it is. It's a bt of cynical policing and not sure it helsingborg in the long run.

I had a near miss a couple months ago actually.

I was in a known spot and another chap you I see up there sometimes was parked next to me. We both got out our cars to chat, it started in rain so we jumped in my car to carry on chatting.

Headlights stated to come up road, could make out it was a van. It stopped in front of my car and they shone a touch in, realising at this point it was the police.

He jumped out, I put my foot down, driving the opposite way to where the van was facing. Heart pounding! They didn’t appear to follow but was worried they take my plates and call in at home.

Any way, I msg the chap via fab and he said they didn’t bother with him but it appeared they followed me.

But anyway, nothing came of it. Just shitting myself for a couple days and dreading a knock at door lol

Apparently, placing a teapot on the roof of your narrow boat is the nautical equivalent of pampas grass / pineapples.

The only time I noticed one, was on a boat that also was flying a pride flag, so maybe true.

"I think if by arrested you mean put in handcuffs and taken to the police station, I very much doubt it unless you posed some sort of immediate risk or danger to someone or was aggressive with an officer.

The most likely outcome would probably be a strict telling off and possibly issued a fine or summons to court where you could possibly be added to the sex offenders register.

Staying a night behind bars, probably not..

A night behind bars wold be infinitely preferable than a guest appearance on the Sex Offenders Register. That's something that you don't get off.

"

if you get a night behind bars for dogging guaranteed you will also end up on the sex offenders register.

Under the sexual Offences Act 2003 it is a criminal offence and you can be charged with indecent behaviour facing a jail time and possible put on the register anyone who says it's not illegal needs to look at the government website and brush up on the laws.

You did right, a lot of bluster which scares most people into accepting caution. I can see why! But to actually take it to court and win they would need to prove beyond doubt you meant to cause offense.... and as most doggers go to the most hidden places normally in the dark that's a tall order lol yes if you go dogging in the high street at midday near a school expect (rightly) the police to nail your arse! But I bet you still wouldn't get 2 years lol

My Mrs and I go out regularly and haven’t had an issue yet. We will always park somewhere that gives good visibility in directions that cars might approach. If we see someone coming we will jump in the car lights off and let them pass.....unless they want to stop and watch of course.

We love it and usually just allow watchers but maybe in the future we will be inviting people to join in

What about the law?

There are legal implications to having sex in public. The Sexual Offences Act 2003 made changes to previous laws in England and Wales governing sexual behaviour.

Sexual activity in public toilets is still an offence but sex in other public places isn’t, unless it’s witnessed or there’s a REASONABLE chance at least two members of the public might see what’s happening. In this case you could be charged with outraging public decency.

Exposure (showing your genitals with the intention that they are seen in order to cause alarm or distress) is an offence

We’ve had lots of outdoor fun, we avoid the usual dogging spots though.

Our advice would be, if you want to go dogging arrange a meet with a select few. Don’t use the usual spots as most are known to local police.
