No doubt we'll see ten times the number of hair-dryers hiding in laybyes from now on...
And why not? Throw in a 35 in a 30 with a non calibrated gun. How many people are going to take it on the chin and think "Oh well it's only £60 quid" rather than challenge it in court and have to pay hundreds to clear their name.Whilst I'm not the sort of drama queen who howls that the country is falling apart, I'm amazed at such a tacit confession that motoring enforcement is so legally weak, and that this financial band-aid is being slapped on the problem.
If the argument that court cost reimbursement is unsustainable, surely the methods used to enforce and prosecute are unsustainable?

All that people died for in the wars is being slowly erradicated by this imbecilic group of grabbers. I feel ourselves spiralling down the plug hole.

How do you get the news channels to pick up this sort of story?
Its not entirely 'breaking news':http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/tr...
How can any sane person think this is a good idea? And how exactly does it save money? If people did their jobs properly in the first place then none of this would need to happen. If it ever happened to me, I'd want my money's worth, and therefore would proceed to burn down the court.

What they are saying is that the CPS is taking on cases they can't win and the settlement costs are crippling them. So rather than review the CPS decision processes they simply change the law to penalise the poor. And this from Labour, the socialist party?If the argument that court cost reimbursement is unsustainable, surely the methods used to enforce and prosecute are unsustainable?
Signed.
If only the police could get guilty people into court, oh sorry they cann't because their hands are tied by bl**dy red tape so the only left is to f**k up those they can get to court.
I do feel sorry for the police as there the ones who get the grief for all of this instead on the politicians who live the life of rielly at our expense and seem to get away with it all. Let's just hope those that are being investigated for fraud all end up inside oh sorry that's just another holiday camp isn't it.
Democracy is only for those who can shape it to suit them, welcome to the far wings of politics (left and right) where those at the top rise even further and those at the bottom continue to sink.
Rant over for now.
