    So true. Police can give them a talking too if they are not busy but generally wont get involved in a civil matter.
    If the dispute becomes a physical violent matter, then thats different. (assault, grievous bodily harm etc)
    Problem is, do you have to wait until it becomes physical. If you have to defend yourself physically, you're best to have a witness. especially if its an elderly person.
    I believe the best way is to tell them to stop. and if they continue, ill call the Police. Petty much the same way as harassment.
    Problem also is, these older men dont listen to anyone. and thats why they are like they are.

    Are they allowed to arrest them? The Poli's have watered down the laws over the years, and Magistrates are as soft as jelly these days. Do they still have the "Insulting Words" to use or has that gone?

    A copper mate of mine told me this story years ago. Swears it was true but I am not sure. Could be urban legend. Anyway the story goes that the police prosecutor had a case up in front of a wishy washy magistrate out at Mt Isa. The defendent was charged among other things for swearing at police by repeatedly using the word F***. I think the charge was using offensive language.

    Anyway the magistrate rules that the word F*** is no longer deemed an offensive word in modern day society and gave the coppers adressing down in court for even bringing the charge in front of him. Now you can imagine the prosecutor was a tad pissed off by this but there was not much he could do.

    So the day wears on and after the last case the magistrate says to the copper "Do you have anything further for me Sgt" The copper packs up his briefs and turns to the magistrate and with a completely straight face said " F*** all your worship "
    Cheers
