So - for the following offences:-
Possesion of a stolen motorbike;
Speeding repeatedly;
Not wearing a helmet;
No license;
No insurance;

A years driving ban, a paltry fine and one got a bit of community work which I'm sure he'll bother to turn up for...

The cane
A rattan cane four feet (1.2 metres) long and half an inch (1.27 cm) thick[7] is used for prison and judicial canings. It is at least twice as thick as the canes used in the domestic, school and military contexts. The cane is soaked in water beforehand to make it heavier and more flexible. The Prisons Department denies that canes are soaked in brine, but has said that the cane is treated with antiseptic before use to prevent infection. A lighter cane is used for juvenile offenders.[8]
[edit] Administration procedure
Caning is in practice always ordered in addition to a jail sentence and never as a punishment by itself. It is administered in an enclosed area in the prison, out of view of the public and other inmates. Those present are limited to the inmate, prison wardens, medical officers, the caning officer and sometimes high-ranking prison officials to witness the punishment.[1]
An inmate sentenced to caning receives no advance warning as to when he will be caned, and is notified only on the day his sentence is to be carried out.[9] In the caning room, the inmate is ordered to strip naked and receives a medical examination by the prison doctor[1] to check whether he is medically fit for caning, by measuring his blood pressure and other physical conditions. If the doctor gives the green light, the inmate then receives his caning, but if he is certified unfit for punishment, he is sent back to the court for his prison term to be increased instead. A prison official confirms with him the number of strokes he is to receive.[1]
The inmate is then led to the A-shaped frame (called a "caning trestle") and his wrists and ankles secured tightly to the frame by strong leather straps[1] in such a way that he assumes a bent-over position on the frame at an angle of close to 90° at the hip, with his posterior protruding.[1] Protective padding is placed on his lower back to protect the vulnerable kidney and lower spine area from any mis-strokes[1] so that only his buttocks are exposed to the cane. The officer administering the caning takes up position beside the frame and delivers the number of strokes specified in the sentence, at intervals of 10 to 15 seconds. He is required to put his full force into each stroke.[1] The strokes are administered all in one caning session,[10] unless the medical officer certifies that the inmate cannot receive any more strokes because of his condition, in which case the rest of the strokes are converted to additional prison time.[1]

So on a technicality.I could rob a bank and drive my stolen hayabusa (along with my millions of ugandan dollars) over the border into france, relatively easily, because I have no helmet.
The French will probably shoot me, but either way, that's pretty cool.

Simple solution....use a stinger for these creeps.
Any injuries would simply be "collateral damage".
Speaking of collateral damage - I was watching Police Crash Cameras XXVI the other night. An American(obviously) chase was taking place, when an officer throws out a stinger to puncture the vehicles tyres....he threw it behind the 4x4, which was enough to obviously throw the driver who immediately crashed into the back of another 4x4 causing much death and destruction.....you couldn't write it....stupid Yanks.Any injuries would simply be "collateral damage".
I'm feeling peed off today as I have had a solid week of working lots of hours to try to support an increasing tax and living bill for my brood. Some of my posts today seem to reflect that feeling. Here goes another.
The thing that disappoints me with the sentence, apart from the fact that they did not get the multiple FPNs, is that I didn't see the bit about castration as a penalty for any further offence to stop them breeding another generation of total wasters.

You're not going to like this...The thing that disappoints me with the sentence, apart from the fact that they did not get the multiple FPNs, is that I didn't see the bit about castration as a penalty for any further offence to stop them breeding another generation of total wasters.
Whilst YOU may be forever working your arse off to pay for your brood (and, I would assume, making the time and effort to bring them up properly) These promising young footballers will actually be PAID to sprout another generation. Possibly in a nice free house.
You seem stressed so I won't of course point out that it's your money being used to do this.
