Found this out 1st hand after a neighbour repeatedly jumped over my fence to use my back garden as a short cut to the main road. Went to report him and was told trespassing was no longer being enforced. Asked if I'd get nicked when I broke one of his legs as I would have been under duress from his threatening behaviour, and was told in no uncertain terms that I would be. Dealt with the neighbour myself in the end, but wtf.
