Surrey Police Told to Avoid Ockham Dogging Spot Over ‘Human Rights’ Fears

Surrey Police officers have been ordered to steer clear of a notorious dogging site in Ockham and nearby woods — all to dodge possible “human rights” complaints, insiders reveal.

Top Brass Send Strict Warning to Officers

According to a leaked email, senior Surrey Police bosses have advised their teams not to patrol the well-known car park dogging area. The fear? That officers could face knuckle-rapping over alleged human rights violations if they’re caught lurking around the swingers’ hotspot.

What Is Dogging? A Quick Explainer

For the uninitiated, dogging means strangers meeting in car parks to engage in explicit sexual activity. Police usually pop by to provide “reassurance patrols” to ordinary visitors — like dog walkers who might be shocked to stumble upon three men congregated around a car getting down to business in broad daylight.

Officers Forced to Keep Their Distance

An insider, who asked to remain anonymous, revealed:

“A few years back, we used to pass through the dogging spot regularly—it’s a lovely car park by day with picnic areas, a cafe, and toilets. At night, though, it turns into a dogging hub.

We spoke with local cops who told us that parking up after dark could be seen as a human rights infringement by doggers.

We thought it was a joke at first until we heard a complaint had been made. Now, both police and locals have been told to keep away to avoid stirring trouble.

Sometimes we go in, switch off the lights, then suddenly flood the area with torches just to watch the doggers scatter — it’s a laugh!”

For now, Surrey Police appear to be stuck between cracking down and protecting their own backs when it comes to the cheeky dogging community in Ockham. Watch this space.
