If you have form for several speeding offences you ARE a serial offender [emoji6]
So once the current offence is heard, if you are found guilty (and that's when your form is raised) - Yes, they should see you have a history of such offences..
If found not guilty then you're good to go!
Exactly...which is why your form is raised AFTER you are found guilty.Quote:

So ............. tell me that the judge got it right in this case. :censored:

****ing disgusting as far as I'm concerned. This judge deserves nothing less than to be the victim of a pretty horrific crime herself. If the victim of this arsehole was my daughter, both he and the ****weak judge would both want to be keeping an eye over their shoulder. :censored:
The sooner the power to pass sentence is taken out of the hands of the judiciary, the better.

There no "sides" to this,,, as in politics,, you just think that as educated people, they'd be able to read it the paper, watch the news and see what's happening out there in the real world. I would think most people involved with this process, are well to do, and probably well off too, therefore, in their own little world, they probably don't see any of this in their areas.Quote:

Probably one reason the miscreants are sent home.
I have a friend and a cousin who are currently police officers.
Having a chat over a few beers about their work sounds nothing like the tripe being aired here.
They have both seen and been involved in some quite horrible things as part of their job description and sitting quietly with them can be quite a morbid experience.
I suggest some of you guys get some first hand information and stop quoting newspapers or the radio jocks.
From my cousin and friend , there are NO quotas. There ARE focussed campaigns and raised public awareness towards certain areas..."targets".....but not on a quota basis.
