Re: Speeding Fines to Fund Domestic Violence Counsellors.
Yes, K.S.H.......that WAS the original plan, but the authorities found that it would be too difficult to administer.
Something else that may have a bearing on this is the division of the Home office into two separate entities. Lord Falconer is looking at softer sentencing. So judges may be directed to award non-custodial sentences for some crimes......and many custodial sentences will be shorter.
What kind of message does this send to the real criminals?
Yet motorists will be criminalised for petty infringements.
