british justice at its finest again

[chav1]

my main moan is that a driver would get 7 sets of points and 7 fines for speeding through 7 cameras yet a burgular can commit 7 burgularys and get them all rolled up into 1 offence

each crime should have been given its own punishment s what i am trying to say

Not if the judge says that they should be served concurrently, it would only mean ten years if they were to be served consecutively.

5x2 year sentences served concurrently = 2 years (or 1 year if paroled).

Maybe offenders should be used in clinical trials, drug research etc. It would save the poor animals that are used.
