There is another side to this. How can one stop so-called credible persons making all sorts of complaints because of animosity between two neighbours? The authorised officer claims it is reasonable because Mr. and Mrs. Murphy said it was happening, but it was not happening. In defence of having told somebody to desist with no real evidence, the authorised officer will say there were reasonable grounds to believe it was happening because he or she was told it was happening and the witness was credible. Such things happen all the time. The things that happen between neighbours in this country are unbelievable.
