      In most European countries, knocking on a door and running away (also known as “ding-dong ditch” or “knock, knock, ginger”) is not a crime in itself.

      However, it is technically illegal in the UK under the Metropolitan Police Act of 1839.

      According to Act 16 of the law, anyone who “willfully and wantonly disturbs any inhabitant by pulling or ringing any doorbell or knocking at any door without lawful excuse” can face a fine. In extreme cases, if the fine is not paid, it could lead to up to 14 days in jail, though this is rarely enforced.

      While a one-time prank is unlikely to result in legal action, repeated disturbances could be considered harassment or antisocial behavior, especially if they target vulnerable individuals. In persistent cases, police may issue warnings, fines, or even antisocial behavior orders (ASBOs).

      Should be a crime all over Europe, a lot more packages and letters would be delivered correctly.

      But we can walk across a road without fear of prosecution and can also treat people kindly and fairly – all sexes, races, disabilities etc, etc.

      This is a result of the little known IRA great nick nack campaign.

      There’s slate flooring directly in front of my front door, which is a fucking liability when wet. Recently, kids in the village were playing knock door run, and I heard them coming because these kids did not understand the meaning of subtlety.

      I shouldn’t laugh but one of the kids just full on body slammed, I think face first, the front door.

      There was definitely some crying but as soon as I tried to see if the kid was OK they all panicked and practically dragged him up from the floor and ran.
