Re: Lawless Society?
In many ways I feel sorry for the police. They make the arrest then the courts pass a ridiculous sentence. The cop who dealt with the guy who crashed told me not to expect him to be able to pay anything for the damage he caused as he was on benefits, and the magistrates have to take this into account when dishing out the fines. Every week in the Observer you can see examples of the paltry fines given out for these sorts of crimes. It's about time the justice system was sorted out and that sentencing reflected the seriousness of the crime, and I mean ALL crime not just motoring offences.
