WOW!!!!Look at all of these low life waste of spaces.There is a lot of testicles too be removed there…
Agreed, what’s point of issuing fines that they never pay and the courts allow them to go on and harm others ,one day that could be a magistrate/judge family member, sure then wil get prison. Courts are there to punish and protect public, if you commit one offence and learn that’s good,but when have committed dozens ( probably got away with others ) why. No wonder public don’t phone police when CPS and Courts do nothing to protect us
So a woman gets caught drink driving and driving with no insurance and gets 20 month ban but doesn’t get a community order or have to do unpaid work. Yet a man gets caught drink driving has a 24 month ban 12 month community order and 80 hours unpaid work.
Actually mate, if they are on benefits,qnd they don’t pay the fines, they will either be given time, which they will do in-lew of the fines, or the fines are taken directly out of there benefits, I know this because I have had court fines, I ain’t been in trouble in about 8-9 years, but they are still taking my fines out directly mate… quite simply tho if u do not pay your fines, a warrent is issued for arrest and u can go to jail for not paying them mate
Nice work Jamie, twice in the same week that has to be a new record for you.
You’re fine is greater if law abiding and make an error in A Britannia Car Park , Drillhall Rd , £100 ,pay or ballifs come knocking, commit a crime ,- pay £2 a week . Crime does pay as for every time they get caught probably get away with 5 more. Feel for Police who try so hard to catch them for CPS and Courts then to let them off – cost should mean costs, police helicopter £2000 an hr. If can’t or won’t pay should have working and productive prisons why do tax payers have to foot the bill, this money should be spent on NHS and children’s futures not on many of whom are scum.
But that is the problem isn’t it? There are so many well paid advocates for the criminals, and none for the victims, that the CPS and the Courts only ever get to hear from those who make excuses for criminals. MILLIONS is spent protecting the rights and excusing the behaviour of criminals and NOTHING is ever allocated to help or recompense victims of crime. We now have ‘victims statements’ in crown courts, but these are given by the families of victims, not some £2000 per hour barrister who probably went to the same university as the Judges and speaks their antiquated language!! Our Magistrates courts and High courts are a disgrace!
