We are assured by the government that the scheme will be closely watched by a watchdog agency, but are you convinced that this new leeway offered to bailiffs won't lead to violent confrontations?</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://current.com/items/89643886/bailiffs_can_now_come_into_your_home_and_use_reasonable_force_to_restrain_you.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/current.com/img/56DEC18F-CCB4-45D5-94F6-0952C228EFC7" alt="Image..." /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://current.com/items/89643886/bailiffs_can_now_come_into_your_home_and_use_reasonable_force_to_restrain_you.htm">There has already been a loosening in the laws surrounding bailiffs rights, legislation passed in 2004 they allowed them to break down doors as a last resort to collect court fines, a legal right which some people claim has already been abused. One case was an 89-year-old grandmother who returned home to find a bailiff sitting in her chair having drawn up a list of her possessions. He was pursuing a parking fine owed by her son, who did not even live at the address. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E8C4145B-5D72-4838-8A68-40BF5CB99397/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
