Wolf Whistling

[Kiwi the 1st]

Can you really get arrested for doing this.

[fiesata]

No Idea would like to know - maybe as a country we're taking things to an extreme?

[Ethel]

Yes. If it makes someone feel sexually harassed.

[fiesata]

I'm sure you're right Ethel but do you know which law this would breach?

[Ethel]

It could be an offence under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, the Criminal Justice & Public Order Act 1994.

It depends on how it is perceived by the 'target'.

[Ethel]

Apologies, for clarity to my earlier post -

that comma between the two Acts should be 'or'.

They are two separate and distinct Acts.

We are so PC these days if I were a woman and a man gave me an appreciative wolf whistle I would be delighted

having said that I'm a bloke but I've got no objections if there are any ladies out there...lol

[D.O.]

You could also be arrested following a warning from an officer for Sect. 5 public order if the person being whistled at was seen to experience any harm , harressement or distress.

i wish someone would wolf whistle at me - or in fact even look at me would be a bonus!
