Why the hell do we not yet have a system in place which takes into account whether or not a crime was intentional, regarding sentancing.
A chap gets 5 years for talking on his mobile whilst driving.
The scammers get 2.5 years for robbing 3000 people.
It doesnt make sense. Surely judges should be able to say "Right, youve been very bad, intentionally, every day for years, and had 100 opportunities to stop robbing people but you didnt" and sentance them to 10 years?
