It depends. Because their use is currently legal it is an offence to tamper with a legally-set trap, but if you have any doubts or concerns about a trap you’ve found then take photographs and details and REPORT them to the police on 101. However, spring traps set on poles to catch birds of prey are both illegal and extremely dangerous. They can be tripped with a long stick - but NEVER use your fingers: these traps close with huge force and can easily break bones. Note that in some areas (especially at sites where the public has access and are more likely to come across a trap) remote cameras have been installed next to cage traps to catch individuals damaging them. These cameras can record audio and video. Cameras may well be placed near Fenn-type spring traps near footpaths etc as well.
